Eelco Dolstra 8e8e9d8705
Respect the outputSpecified attribute 
E.g. 'nix build nixpkgs#libxml2.dev' will build the 'dev' output.

Jan Tojnar 26d1877d6e doc: Add redirects for the DocBook manual 
There are still many links to the old manual on the web and
having them end up on the Introduction page is a bad user experience.

Jan Tojnar a793863b97 doc: Manually insert some anchors 2022-05-26 18:17:21 +02:00
Jan Tojnar 7708a34a51 doc: Add anchors to long lists 
Added using the following sed scripts:

- For command-ref/opt-common.md:

    s~- `(--?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#opt-\2}~g

- For expressions/builtin-constants.md:

    s~- `(builtins\.?)([^`]+)`~- [`\1\2`]{#builtins-\2}~g

- For expressions/advanced-attributes.md

    s~^  - `([^`]+)`~  - [`\1`]{#adv-attr-\1}~g

  and manually adjusted outputHashAlgo & outputHashMode.

- For glossary.md

    s~^  - (`([^`]+)`|(.+)) ?\\~  - [\1]{#gloss-\2\3}\\~g;
    s~(gloss-\w+) ~\1-~g

  and manually adjusted anchors for Nix expression, user environment, NAR, ∅ and ε.

- For command-ref/env-common.md

    s~^  - `([^`]+)`~  - [`\1`]{#env-\1}~g'

Jan Tojnar 3272afa17b doc: Port anchors preprocessor to jq script 
Python is only pulled into the build closure by Mercurial, which might end up being removed.
Let’s port the script to jq, which is more likely to stay.

Jan Tojnar 4de84e095d doc: Introduce pre-processor for adding anchors to text 
It is now possible to use the following syntax to insert anchors into the text:

    []{#anchor-name}

The anchor will allow linking to the location it is placed by appending #anchor-name to the URL.

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

    [`--add-root`]{#opt-add-root}

Tom Bereknyei 82c4af41e3 repl: clarify change and usage of <nixpkgs> 2022-05-20 01:49:49 -04:00
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)

Fix #3785

```

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.

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.

pennae 00c993f48b add zipAttrsWith primop 
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.

nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

docs: Correct fallback user config path 
This is in line with XDG Base Directory Specification, where ~/.config is supposed to be used when XDG_CONFIG_HOME is unset.

It also better matches the reality, where ~/.config/nix.conf does not seem to be used.

Install failure is observed when we try to install
into inplace location as non-root:

```

RUST_LOG=warn mdbook build doc/manual -d /usr/share/doc/nix/manual
2021-08-28 13:29:58 [ERROR] (mdbook::utils): Error: Rendering failed

make: *** [doc/manual/local.mk:98: /usr/share/doc/nix/manual/index.html] Error 101
```

The change is to prefix paths with `$(DESTDIR)`.

regnat cd6e9eb024 Fix the generation of nix3 manpages 
- Separate the generation of the manpages from their installation
- Make sure that `make` generates the manpages
- Make sure that `make install` installs them

Fix #5051
 2021-07-27 13:47:53 +02:00
regnat c5f5d615a6 Cleanup the generation of the nix3 manpages 
Use a dedicated make target for the man page rather than bundling the
generation as part of `install`.
Also make sure that `make install` is a fixpoint by

- Removing the generated markdown files from `MANUAL_SRCS`
- Not having the manpage generation write in its source directory so as
  to not update its timestamp (it would run each time otherwise)
