Merge branch 'master' into indexed-store-path-outputs 2022-10-28 23:22:18 +01:00
Johan Herland 1ec8810687 Explain how Nix handles antiquotation of paths
Specifically, explain why Nix does not _re_evaluate paths during a
`nix repl` session. This is a thing that bit me while playing around
with paths and antiquotation in `nix repl` while reading the Nix
language tutorial at https://nix.dev/tutorials/nix-language.

Travis A. Everett 84bdb0e3ad address review feedback
Mainly:
- Try to triangulate between narrative that framed this as
  a new/easy process and the need for a reference that will
  not quickly grow stale.
- Fix a ~continuity issue where the text was talking about
  "your Cachix cache" before saying that you'd need to make
  a Cachix cache to enable the installer tests.
- Adopt suggestion on titling, and nest subtitles in the
  installer test section.

Comment out the architecture section
This needs more review and probably should be a separate book.
