Eelco Dolstra 6656ef7b5b Revive binary-caches-parallel-connections
It's a slight misnomer now because it actually limits *all* downloads,
not just binary cache lookups.

Also add a "enable-http2" option to allow disabling use of HTTP/2
(enabled by default).

Matthias Beyer 2ec9d2fb02 NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS path must be absolute ()
Once upon a time, I wrote my bachelors thesis about functional
deployment mechanisms.

I had to evaluate several szenarios where package management and
deployment were relevant. One szenario was to do distributed builds
over several machines.

I told myself: Weee, nix can do this! And with nix, this is actually
save, as you do not have side effects when building!

So I started. I use a cloud to set up four virtual machines where I
wanted to do the build. A fifth machine was used as master to distribute
the builds. All was good.

I created the necessary SSH keys, made sure every machine was reachable
by the master and configured the build in my remotes.conf.

When I started to try to build weechat from source, the build failed. It
failed, telling me

    error: unable to start any build; either increase ‘--max-jobs’ or enable distributed builds

And I started to dig around. I digged long and good. But I wasn't able
to find the issue.

I double and triple checked my environment variables, my settings, the
SSH key and everything.

I reached out to fellow Nixers by asking on the nixos IRC channel. And I
got help. But we weren't able to find the issue, either.

So I became frustrated. I re-did all the environment variables.

And suddenly,... it worked! What did I change? Well... I made the
environment variables which contained pathes contain absolute pathes
rather than relatives.

And because I like to share my knowledge, this should be put into the
documentation, so others do not bang their heads against the wall
because something is not documented somewhere.

Don't hardcode docbook XSL namespace URL
Docbook XSL got updated to version 1.79.1 in NixOS/nixpkgs@fb893a8 and
we're still referring to the hardcoded previous version.

So instead of just updating this to 1.79.1 we're going to use "current"
in the hope that this won't happen again.

I have tested this by building the manual under Nix(OS) but I haven't
tested this in a non-Nix environment, so I'm not sure whether this could
have implications.

Scott R. Parish 96d3534a9e fix "nix-build" examples
The existing "nix-build" examples were failing:

  error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’)

Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix!

Updated to completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm

Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as
suggested by @domenkozar

Eelco Dolstra 41633f9f73 Improved logging abstraction
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.
