- `nixpkgsFor` does all of native, static, cross, and the different stdenvs.
- The main Nix derivation is no longer duplicated for static.
- DRY nixpkgs.lib and lib.genAttrs calls.
We are looking for *$ because it indicate that it was constructed with a new but
not release. De-referencing shallow copy so deleting as whole might create
dangling pointer that's why we move it so we delete a empty containers + the
nice perf boost.
For static builds, we need to propagate all the static library
dependencies to the link of the program. E.g. if libstore-tests-exe
depends on libnixstore-tests, and libnixstore-tests depends on
libstore, then libstore-tests-exe needs to link against libstore.

- Refer to current version in readme
- Split into flakes and non-flakes section
- Change order to move nix-build to the end, since people often start
with it in the beginning.
- Use proper "Note" syntax
- Add notes about editor integration
- Move information about target platforms and stdenvs into separate
sections

Adding a test to ensure there is no regression.
The tests that are split out of `tests/build.sh` are ones that don't yet
work with CA derivation. I have not yet evaluated whether they should or
not.
This behavior, reported missing in issue #4661, already got fixed in
PR #4818, but didn't get a test case then.
Nixpkgs on aarch64-linux is currently stuck on GCC 9
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208412) and using gcc11Stdenv
doesn't work either.
So use c++2a instead of c++20 for now. Unfortunately this means we
can't use some C++20 features for now (like std::span).
Descriptions for commandline flags may not include newlines and should
be rather short for display in a shell. Truncate the description string
of a flag on '\n' or '.' to and add an ellipsis if needed.
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.
