John Ericson	816031173c	Fix the 2.13 changelog ... It is just the new CLI that gets the `^` syntax. The old CLI already has a (slightly different) `!` syntax. Fixes #7682	2023-01-24 18:53:46 -05:00

Alex Ameen	153ee460c5	primop: add readFileType, optimize readDir ... Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory. This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information using POSIX's `readdir`. Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application of `builtins.readFileType`.	2023-01-22 13:45:02 -06:00

Naïm Favier	15f7fa59be	unsafeDiscardReferences ... Adds a new boolean structured attribute `outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning an output for runtime references. __structuredAttrs = true; outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true; This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies. Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature `discard-references` to be enabled.	2023-01-03 17:19:16 +01:00

John Ericson	0251d44cc2	Make ./mk/run-test.sh work by itself; add mk/debug-test.sh ... First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a little easier. This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling. See the updated manual for details.

Valentin Gagarin	b8a1ff98c1	use HTML anchors for config parameters ... this avoids incorrect rendering on the man pages, since `lowdown` neither parses the anchor syntax nor HTML. this should rather be fixed in lowdown, as adding more anchors would otherwise produce ever more noise and error-prone repetition.	2022-12-07 16:18:50 +01:00

endgame	c710aa1abd	Post build hook signing (#7408) ... * docs: Use secret-key-files when demonstrating post-build-hooks The docs used to recommend calling `nix store sign` in a post-build hook, but on more recent versions of nix, this results in unsigned store paths being copied into binary caches. See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6960 for details. Instead, use the `secret-key-files` config option, which signs all locally-built derivations with the private key.

Linus Heckemann	8e0946e8df	Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options ... These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held: - The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in repeated builds), AND - The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND - No remote builders that can build the path are available. If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.	2022-12-07 11:36:48 +01:00

Valentin Gagarin	180538672a	disallow selecting shell prompt in code samples ... this is a quick half-fix for command line examples, as discussed discussed in [1]. [1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7389 examples which look like this $ foo bar baz are confusing for Unix shell beginners, because it's hard to discern what is supposed to be entered into the actual command line when the convention of prefixing `$` is not known, as barely any real-world shell looks that way any more. this change prevents selecting the prompt part with the mouse in the HTML representation of the Nix manual. it does not prevent selecting the output part of the shell example. it also does not address that the copy button provided by mdBook takes the entire sample, including the prompts, into the clipboard.	2022-12-05 11:01:46 +01:00

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
Sagar Patel	c068cce107	docs: drop shell prompt character for consistency ... In addition to consistency, the fancy "Copy to clipboard" button on the website will copy the prompt character. Retaining the prompt character would mean having to edit each command after pasting in the terminal.	2022-11-01 00:09:00 -04:00

Johan Herland	1ec8810687	Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths ... Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a `nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.

Travis A. Everett	84bdb0e3ad	address review feedback ... Mainly: - Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will not quickly grow stale. - Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests. - Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the installer test section.	2022-09-18 13:02:42 -05:00
