alois31 e3c289dbe9 libutil/config: unify path setting types There have been multiple setting types for paths that are supposed to be canonicalised, depending on whether zero or one, one, or any number of paths is to be specified. Naturally, they behaved in slightly different ways in the code. Simplify things by unifying them and removing special behaviour (mainly the "multiple paths type can coerce to boolean" thing).

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have a Nix implementation installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
