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.

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.

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.
