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 207992a71d introduce store and store objects without file system details 
this leaves open implementation details, especially about store paths
and file system objects, and allows explaining them together were it is

insight behind Nix: applying results from programming language theory to
the operating system paradigm of files and processes.

while it appears a bit much for the overview, this way we set the stage

first having to say what build tasks are and how they relate to build
plans.
 2022-08-04 12:37:47 +02:00

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.

John Ericson 523359d133 WIP: Document the design of Nix 
The current docs are all "how to do things" and no "what is Nix" or "why
are things the way they are".

I see lots of misconception on the wider internet, and I also think we
would benefit from a "living document" to answer some questions people
currently turn to the thesis for.

I think a new section of the manual can address all these issues.

Additionally, it is possible to create a link pointing to its own location by adding text between the square brackets:

Tony Olagbaiye 5b8c1deb18 fetchTree: Allow fetching plain files 
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.

Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:

- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
  file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
  `https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
  `https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
  the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
  the `tarball+` part removed)

The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command 
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
Added 16118 variables.

nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out"

This derivation produced the following outputs:
  ./repl-result-out -> /nix/store/kidqq2acdpi05c4a9mlbg2baikmzik44-hello
[1 built, 0.0 MiB DL]
ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> cat ./repl-result-out

Théophane Hufschmitt 660c19eb49 manual: Add some anchor targets for the nix.conf options 
For each `nix.conf` option, add an empty html node with a unique `id`
that can be used as an anchor target. Also make the name of the option
be a link to that target so that it’s easily discoverable.

We can’t rewrite the whole list as an html definition list like it’s
done for the builtins because these options also appear in a man page,
and the manpage renderer (lowdown) can’t render arbitrary html. But the
hack here allows to keep the manpage and have the links in the html
version.

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS 
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.
