Drop misleading ellipses
This portion of the quick start guide may lead to confusion for
newcomers to Nix.  This change clarifies the example to one that can be
copied in its entirety.

getDerivations(): Filter out packages with bad derivation names
In particular, this disallows attribute names containing dots or
starting with dots. Hydra already disallowed these. This affects the
following packages in Nixpkgs master:

  2048-in-terminal
  2bwm
  389-ds-base
  90secondportraits
  lispPackages.3bmd
  lispPackages.hu.dwim.asdf
  lispPackages.hu.dwim.def

Closes #1342.

have default values.

Convert Settings to the new config system

Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a
warning.

Eelco Dolstra 2040240e23
Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:

  class MyClass : private Config
  {
    Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
    Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};

    MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
    {
      std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
    }
  };

Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.

Benjamin Staffin d267db0d75
Move note about float support out of the wrong release notes
Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but
float support isn't actually present until 1.12.

Dan Peebles d1fdade755 Add CURLE_WRITE_ERROR as a transient error condition
We've observed it failing downloads in the wild and retrying the same URL
a few moments later seemed to fix it.

Dan Peebles e43e8be8e7 Default to 5 download retries
This should help certain downloaders that don't request anything special
for the number of retries, like nix-channel.

Allow "auto" as a store URI
Using the empty string is likely to be ambiguous in some contexts.
