This makes it easier for others to make releases, and probably few
people care about GPG signatures anyway.

Valentin Gagarin 180538672a disallow selecting shell prompt in code samples
this is a quick half-fix for command line examples, as discussed
discussed in [1].

[1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7389

examples which look like this

    $ foo bar
    baz

are confusing for Unix shell beginners, because it's hard to discern
what is supposed to be entered into the actual command line when the
convention of prefixing `$` is not known, as barely any real-world shell
looks that way any more.

this change prevents selecting the prompt part with the mouse in the
HTML representation of the Nix manual.

it does not prevent selecting the output part of the shell example.
it also does not address that the copy button provided by mdBook takes
the entire sample, including the prompts, into the clipboard.

Merge pull request #7395 from obsidiansystems/evaluating-to-calling
Change "while evaluating <fun>" to "while *calling*" in trace
2022-12-02 15:53:57 +01:00
John Ericson 19c5394971 Change "while evaluating <fun>" to "while *calling*" in trace
The old way was not correct.

Here is an example:
```
 $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1' --show-trace
error: asdf

       … while evaluating 'x'

       at «string»:1:9:

            1| let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1
             |         ^

       … from call site

       at «string»:1:29:

            1| let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x 1
             |                             ^
```
and yet also:
```
 $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'let x = a: throw "asdf"; in x' --show-trace
<LAMBDA>
```

Here is the thing: in both cases we are evaluating `x`!

Nix is a higher-order languages, and functions are a sort of value. When
we write `x = a: ...`, `a: ...` is the expression that `x` is being
defined to be, and that is already a value. Therefore, we should *never*
get an trace that says "while evaluating `x`", because evaluating `a:
...` is *trival* and nothing happens during it!

What is actually happening here is we are applying `x` and evaluating
its *body* with arguments substituted for parameters. I think the
simplest way to say is just "while *calling* `x`", and so that is what I
changed it to.
