Valentin Gagarin	f7ab93b068	manual: build action -> build task ... after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it is built. also it's easier to pronounce. proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).	2022-11-06 13:28:18 +01:00

Johan Herland	1ec8810687	Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths ... Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a `nix repl` session.

Valentin Gagarin	a90fc62b61	make clear that file system is for processes ... Co-authored-by: John Ericson <John.Ericson@Obsidian.Systems>	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	7993ba1f38	constrain garbage collection scope ... garbage collection is now incremental, and may (in theory) never delete all unreferenced objects if it is slow enough.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	195aa28ff7	references are added according to build task ... at this level of abstraction we do not really care about build instructions or what they are, and also build instructions including their arguments really amount to the build task.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	80de4a4804	operations diagram: store' to the right ... this also looks more diverse, hopefully easier to distinguish Co-authored-by: John Ericson <John.Ericson@Obsidian.Systems>	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	3794618cce	add commas between output values	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	e63a768e21	use reference links for URLs	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	843288a451	add subsections for objects and references ... group description of data instead of spreading it across the section. that should help direct skimming. as it turns out, people do not actually read any of that.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	4341849193	move closure property to discussion references	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	b84f2bdfdd	introduce mapping to Unix files and processes	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	207992a71d	introduce store and store objects without file system details ... this leaves open implementation details, especially about store paths and file system objects, and allows explaining them together were it is more appropriate. also leaves room to carefully introduce the key insight behind Nix: applying results from programming language theory to the operating system paradigm of files and processes.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	e72a7874dc	beautify rosetta table ... while this may eventually introduce ugly diffs, the table will now render readably on the terminal (e.g. for `man nix` or `nix --help`) without further intervention.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	b6b112b366	use reference links for URLs	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	d5eea66615	introduce build tasks ... while it appears a bit much for the overview, this way we set the stage for going directly into data types when describing the store, instead of first having to say what build tasks are and how they relate to build plans.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	7c3bca1372	revert to build plans in top-level overview ... do not introduce build tasks yet, that is the next level of detail.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	4639b36b53	use reference links for URLs	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	2303f84a68	revert to "build plan" in overview diagram ... this displays correct composition again. build inputs and build results are not part of build plans in terms of data objects. also this is a much less complicated setup. this will be the first impression of architecture, and we want to get it right.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	25926c5fc6	Nix store does not underly literally everything ... Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	0e63b9bf88	add link from overview to store section ... the overview should only link to the three main concepts presented. the store is now fairly fleshed out. others can follow later.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	ef81276cc1	architecture overview: add link to command line reference	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	689b32a543	clarify relation of tasks and plans	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	2a8532fb61	build rule -> build task ... closer to "build systems a la carte", satisfies all other complaints	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	902638c519	build step -> build rule ... "step" sounds atomic, while "rule" hints at internal structure, which in our case consists of mapping inputs to outputs using build instructions.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	87523f01e3	match grammatical case to arrow direction	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	07d490fd89	stores can also delete objects	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	5fda995491	formalize file system objects ... convention: describe every data type in prose, and illustrate with a class diagram, and a textual representation of an abstract data type. right now we save ourselves the trouble of doing class diagrams, we can add them later. but they are important.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	fb2ec7e4ec	reword section on references ... use file Contents instead of Data, as that flows more naturally in the prose. simplify explanation of the idea behind scanning for store paths remove references to unfinished sections.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	90fc5b41a8	reword file system objects ... - use singular for the "class" - more consistency in type definition - minor fixes in wording	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	e5e48593c8	move git comparison to related work ... it should be pulled out of the branch before we go for merging	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	610ddf44aa	reword introduction to rosetta stone, add links ... attempt to explain used and documented terminology, as well as how the declarative programming paradigm relates to building software. in the future one could highlight encouraged terms to shape future material into higher consistency.	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	5f96a0b4e8	associated operations are not collected ... Co-authored-by: John Ericson <git@JohnEricson.me>	2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	d30033759a	address Nix language consistently as configuration language	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	7598126391	remove separate meta-section, add architecture diagram ... the diagram is a first approximation and only covers that same section. of course there is much more going on, and other features should at some point also be illustrated. we also have to think about presentation format and technicalities behind it. the manual has to render to `man`, but we may want something more refined for web view.	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	34ea74c9ec	reword introductory section ... there should be a meta section for each chapter to give motivation of the presented structure. the structure itself is visible from the table of contents.	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	b387d80943	remove sentence for chapter transition ... idea: sections could be read in different orders by linking them in different ways (e.g. depth-first or breadth-first). adding hard-coded transitions makes that confusing.	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00

Valentin Gagarin	0eae4bfad1	reword overview with clear terminology ... trying to capture alternative terms in one go here, mirroring everyday use: derivation - build plan realise - execute build there will be more of that sort.	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00
John Ericson	0737094161	Add draft "Rosetta stone" by @fricklerhandwerk and stub commentary ... The idea and most of the execution are @fricklerhandwerk's. I changed a few things best I could based on @edolstra's corrections, and a Bazel glossary. Valentin Gagarin <valentin@fricklerhandwerk.de>	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00

John Ericson	523359d133	WIP: Document the design of Nix ... The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why are things the way they are". I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people currently turn to the thesis for. I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.	2022-08-04 12:37:46 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin	499ed26508	manual: remove "Writing Nix Expressions" chapter ... it is out of date, all over the place in level of detail, is really about `nixpkgs`, and in general instructions should not be part of a reference manual. also: - update redirects and internal links - use "Nix language" consistently	2022-08-04 11:59:25 +02:00

Tony Olagbaiye	5b8c1deb18	fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files ... Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over http(s), or from the local file. Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to `tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension), the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that: - {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input) - `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with the `file+` part removed) - `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with the `tarball+` part removed) Fix #3785 Co-Authored-By: Tony Olagbaiye <me@fron.io>	2022-05-19 18:24:49 +02:00

pennae	00c993f48b	add zipAttrsWith primop ... nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general. nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.	2022-01-03 21:05:53 +01:00

Alyssa Ross	5f07f2ff2b	doc: builtins: use a definition list ... This looks a lot better (and is also more semantically meaningful).

Graham Christensen	1130b28824	distributed builds: load remote builder host key from the machines file ... This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing a remote builder list from service discovery.

Shea Levy	98d1b64400	Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags ... This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can actually define new subcommands.	2021-02-24 08:22:17 -05:00

Mauricio Scheffer	35129884f9	Fix Haskell example ... http://nixos.org redirects to https://nixos.org and apparently the HTTP library doesn't follow the redirect, so the output is empty.

Rok Garbas	44da19f73c	Adds Nix CLI Guideline to docs ... As we are working towards Nix 3.0 we want to make sure that we make a huge step forward in Nix's user experience. And once 3.0 is out of the door we need to make sure that all future commands and features keep up the standard of user experience. This PR adds a CLI guideline document to the Nix documentation. Consider this document a good starting point and a checklist when somebody will be (re)implementing commands. Clearly this guideline does nothing to improve user experience on its own and can only be useful as long as it is going to be read and cared for. But it is a first step into that direction.	2020-12-02 17:00:32 +01:00

Bryan Richter	5fe375a8f1	nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flag ... pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to nix-prefetch-url. I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little executable: 1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script 2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix 3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts 4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix 5. Run the executable I repeated the above while using --name, as well. I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with --unpack, but I have not tried it.	2020-09-18 19:09:45 +03:00
