* document the store concept and its purpose reword the glossary to link to more existing information instead of repeating it. move the store documentation to the top of the table of contents, in front of the Nix language. this will provide a natural place to document other aspects of the store as well as the various store types. move the package management section after the Nix language and before Advanced Topics to follow the pattern to layer more complex concepts on top of each other. this structure of the manual will also nudge beginners to learn Nix bottom-up and hopefully make more likely that they understand underlying concepts first before delving into complex use cases that may or may not be easy to implement with what's currently there. [John adds this note] The sort of beginner who likes to dive straight into reference documentation should prefer this approach. Conversely, the sort of beginner who would prefer the opposite top-down approach of trying to solve problems before they understand everything that is going on is better off reading other tutorial/guide material anyways, and will just "random-access" the reference manual as a last resort. For such random-access the order doesn't matter, so this restructure doesn't make them any worse off. Co-authored-by: John Ericson <git@JohnEricson.me> |
