pennae	b7cac2b2dc	normalize formal order on ExprLambda::show ... we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as useful as one might expect.	2024-02-26 15:44:54 +01:00
pennae	a704123ea1	evaluate inherit (from) exprs only once per directive ... desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).	2024-02-26 15:37:40 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin	60045f9c96	add clickable anchor links ... how the different invocations relate to each other seems be confusing, which is relatable because one has to wire it up in your head while reading. an explicit reference should make it unambiguous and easier to notice due to links being highlighted.	2024-02-09 10:41:03 +01:00

Valentin Gagarin	140de3b278	manual: fold sidebar sections ... the table of contents is very long now, and folded sections allow for a better overview.	2024-02-08 09:00:00 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin	2d74b56aee	fix location of _redirects file ... the Netlify `_redirects` file must be in the root directory [0] of the files to serve, and mdBook copies all the files in `src` that aren't `.md` to the output directory [1]. [0]: https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/ [1]: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/guide/creating.html#source-files	2024-02-06 23:22:34 +01:00

Robert Hensing	f1b4663805	Disallow store path names that are . or .. (plus opt. -) ... As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29. Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and treated as a file name, mostly to protect users. .-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway. We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've seen how annoying and painful such a change is. What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be injected, and to just get this done.	2024-01-31 18:35:19 +01:00

Rebecca Turner	83bb494a30	Print the value in error: cannot coerce messages ... This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.	2024-01-23 15:15:41 -08:00

John Ericson	202c5e2afc	Start standardizing hash algo flags ... Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for hash commands. The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).	2024-01-20 17:29:35 -05:00

John Ericson	edf3ecc497	Document JSON formats ... Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to use them. Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off merging this now as is. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>	2024-01-20 17:03:47 -05:00
