eldritch horrors
279e30e7ef
hacking changelog-d to support not just github but also forgejo and
gerrit is a lot more complicated than it's worth, even moreso since
the entire thing can just as well be done with ~60 lines of python.
this new script is also much cheaper to instantiate (being python),
so having it enabled in all shells is far less of a hassle.
we've also adjusted existing release notes that referenced a gerrit
cl to auto-link to the cl in question, making the diff a bit bigger

synopsis: reintroduce shortened `-E` form for `--expr` to new CLI
|
|
cls: 605

|
In the past, it was possible to supply a shorter `-E` flag instead of fully
|
|
specifying `--expr` every time you wished to provide an expression that would
|
|
be evaluated to produce the given command's input. This was retained for the
|
|
`--file` flag when the new CLI utilities were written with `-f`, but `-E` was
|
|
dropped.
|
|
|
|
We now restore the `-E` short form for better UX. This is most useful for
|
|
`nix eval` but most any command that takes an Installable argument should benefit
|
|
from it as well.
