Robert Hensing be10c09d23 manual: Check links 
mdbook-linkcheck is not consistent about its warning setting.
It disables some warnings, but not the warnings about lack of
fragment checking support; hence the extra filtering.

move unsafeDiscardReferences out of outputChecks 
It's not a check.
 2023-01-03 18:53:01 +01:00
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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

- 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.

Merge pull request #6934 from fricklerhandwerk/revert-architecture 
Revert #6420 "Document what Nix *is*" so we can start over with smaller change sets
 2022-09-09 13:31:05 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin 8dd5ba2f47 more precise variable types 2022-09-09 09:54:24 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin 548c904d40 optimize performance 
remove loops and function calls, modify arrays in place

this makes the whole thing harder to read, and probably only
marginally faster.

Guillaume Maudoux eb460a9529 WIP: broken merge but need a git checkpoint 2022-09-07 00:34:03 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin 59be1e500a generalize anchor redirects 
renaming section headers and changing manually set `id`s will break URLs
in the wild.

this change allows keeping track of all changes to ensure backwards
compatibility.

Merge pull request #6968 from fricklerhandwerk/man-no-weblinks 
do not render relative links in help pages
 2022-08-29 08:46:35 +02:00
Valentin Gagarin e7dcacbd7c do not render relative links in help pages 
this simplifies the setup a lot, and avoids weird looking `./file.md`
links showing up.

it also does not show regular URLs any more. currently the command
reference only has few of them, and not showing them in the offline
documentation is hopefully not a big deal.

instead of building more special-case solutions, clumsily preprocessing
the input, or issuing verbal rules on dealing with URLs, should better
be solved sustainably by not rendering relative links in `lowdown`:

Adam Joseph a5be5e0120 doc/manual: define {local,remote} store, binary cache, substituter 
Nix veterans intuitively know what the following terms mean.  They are
used in several places in the nix documentation, but never defined:

- local store
- remote store
- binary cache
- substituter

In particular, I found the last two terms to be confusingly similar.
Let's give definitions for them.

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.

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.

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.

convention: describe every data type in prose, and illustrate with

right now we save ourselves the trouble of doing class diagrams, we can
add them later. but they are important.

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.

Valentin Gagarin 34ea74c9ec reword introductory section

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.
