Niklas Hambüchen	07294e988c	manual: nix-shell: Elaborate on using -p with expressions. ... This documents the outcome of the change in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/454: > We can also automatically add parentheses in the generated > `buildInputs`, so you can type `nix-shell -p "expr"` > instead of `"(expr").	2019-11-10 17:29:13 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	81a9b93689	Fix manual build	2019-11-05 11:21:32 +01:00
Matthew Bauer	f1d4ba2afd	Update man to show that nix-shell allows --arg	2019-11-01 13:25:15 -04:00
Niklas Hambüchen	caa76c369a	docs: Mention --max-jobs 0 to build remotely only	2019-03-31 03:57:45 +02:00
Samuel Dionne-Riel	4b3a7f93a5	doc: Adds --quiet to the common options. ... Fixes #1298	2018-04-20 16:34:06 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra	cfeff3b273	Move show-trace docs	2018-01-17 11:53:16 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	c2154d4c84	Rename a few configuration options ... In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are pointless. So now you can say nix build --no-sandbox instead of nix build --no-build-use-sandbox	2017-08-31 14:28:25 +02:00
Robert Vollmert	56a1f8f499	man pages: Consistently separate alternatives by /	2017-07-07 22:11:46 +02:00
Robert Vollmert	d1643bdaa2	man pages: Argument for --max-jobs	2017-07-07 22:11:45 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra	7251d048fa	Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobs ... "build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use 0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local building.) Fixes #1198.	2017-02-28 12:54:50 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra	9000150a78	Drop a few more references to all-packages.nix ... And also don't refer to f-spot, which apparently no longer exists. Issue #1170.	2017-01-03 16:42:24 +01:00
Jonas Chevalier	45ed6e7ef2	Document the common --no-build-hook option	2016-12-28 14:19:59 +00:00
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.	2016-04-25 19:18:45 +02:00
