This doesn't comprehensively fix everything outdated in the manual, or
make the manual greatly better, but it does note down where at least
jade noticed it was wrong, and it does fix all the instances of
referencing Nix to conform to the style guide to the best of our
ability.
A lot of things have been commented out for being wrong, and there are
three types of FIXME introduced:
- FIXME(Lix): generically Lix needs to fix it
- FIXME(Qyriad): re #215
- FIXME(meson): docs got outdated by meson changes and need rewriting
I did fix a bunch of it that I could, but there could certainly be
mistakes and this is definitely just an incremental improvement.
Fixes: #266

Upgrade Nix to the stable version declared in Nixpkgs:
# nix upgrade-nix -
Upgrade Nix in a specific profile:
# nix upgrade-nix --profile ~alice/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile
Description
This command upgrades Lix to the latest stable version. This stable version is defined in the Lix manifest and updated manually. It may not always be the latest tagged release.
By default, it locates the directory containing the nix binary in the $PATH
environment variable. If that directory is a Nix profile, it will
upgrade the nix package in that profile to the latest stable binary
release.
You cannot use this command to upgrade Nix in the system profile of a
NixOS system (that is, if nix is found in /run/current-system).
