manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

this should be a link, not an anchor. it should also point to the

Previously, errors while printing values in `nix repl` would be printed
in `«error: ...»` brackets rather than displayed normally:
```
nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler
«error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.»
```
Now, errors will be displayed normally if they're emitted at the
top-level of an expression:
```
nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler

Errors emitted in nested structures (like e.g. when printing `nixpkgs`)
will still be printed in brackets.

The configured sysconfdir is used to look for nix.conf, so it needs
to be /etc, and not $out/etc, so we separate out the place where shell
profile files are installed, which is the only other place sysconfdir is
at all used.
See lix-project/lix#231 (comment)
for more info.

Instead of $sysconfdir.
Fixes#231, but there's more to do in following commits to make
Meson-built Lix actually look in /etc/nix.

These scripts were originally written by horrors, and have since been
hacked up a lot by jade. We are putting them up as a CL since it is
better to have checked in benchmarking scripts than to not have
benchmarking scripts.

this isn't strictly necessary, but it'll make it a lot easier to put the
generated files used by the autoconf build system in this directory too.
doing this now already will make the meson transition a lot easier later
Change-Id: I5fb39eade2ff88b6093c9ee436c9e8db793e9448
this would make meson build compatibility unnecessarily hard and
the cli does not change often enough to justify this complexity.

not sure why this was done the way it was considering that includes are
a feature the doc toolchain had previously. let's just always have some
kind of entry for the upcoming release in the dev manual builds even if
that means having a completely empty release notes chapter.
the release notes generation script isn't entirely functional right now
due to pre-commit hooks, but it's good enough for time being. we need a
better release process for notes anyway.

mdbook already does include processing of its own, and the custom
processing code has always admitted as much. we don't need it for
the mdbook build at this point if we run our preprocessors in the
right order, and maybe we can even have mdbook to return complete
pages to us that we only have to pass to lowdown without any more
preprocessing of our own.

for some reason these three were anchors, not links, but had they been
links they wouldn't've worked because they're not defined anywhere but
here. in the print version of the manual they're duplicated many times
over (creating id collisions), so we should better remove them anyway.

Adds a `repl-overlays` option, which specifies files that can overlay
and modify the top-level bindings in `nix repl`. For example, with the
following contents in `~/.config/nix/repl.nix`:
info: final: prev: let
optionalAttrs = predicate: attrs:
if predicate
then attrs
else {};
in
optionalAttrs (prev ? legacyPackages && prev.legacyPackages ? ${info.currentSystem})
{
pkgs = prev.legacyPackages.${info.currentSystem};
}
We can run `nix repl` and use `pkgs` to refer to `legacyPackages.${currentSystem}`:
$ nix repl --repl-overlays ~/.config/nix/repl.nix nixpkgs
Lix 2.90.0
Type :? for help.

We found some header files that don't conform to the style guide.
The Lix style guide requests that header files:
- Begin with `#pragma once` so they only get parsed once
- Contain a doxygen comment (`/**` or `///`) containing `@file`, for
example, `///@file`, which will make doxygen generate docs for them.
When adding that, consider also adding a `@brief` with a sentence
explaining what the header is for.

This probably snuck in in a refactor using truthiness or so. The
trustedness flag was having the optional fullness checked, rather than
the actual contained trust level.
Also adds some tests.

The flake for pre-commit-checks is rather questionable. We ignored
it so it uses our own nixpkgs and doesn't reimport nixpkgs. This should
save a couple of seconds of eval time!

package.nix previously needed this callPackage'd externally, which
didn't make a lot of sense to us since this is an internal dependency.
Thus we changed it to make it more self contained.

Some of this code existed for installer tests, and indeed its removal is

The following command is now sufficient to build Lix from outside of the
flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage
./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

this commit fixes a load-bearing typo for`checks.rl-next` and

In our view it really doesn't make sense to not have this in in
package.nix in some way. These patches aren't just for performance or
something -- Lix flat out doesn't build without these patches.
(Arguably that makes them a buildsystem responsibility as well, but that
can wait for when we're ready to start adding subproject fallback
dependency resolution to Meson.)
This is a step towards making `package.nix` more self-sufficient and
`callPackage`able without excessive external logic.
With this change the following command is enough to build Lix from out
of the flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; inherit (pkgs.lib) fileset;
nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage ./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

`nix eval --write-to` refuses to write to a directory that exists at
all, so now we generate in a temporary directory, and copy the generated
tree to the build directory. This is equivalent to what the Make
buildsystem did, actually, but hopefully more robust.
Future work: documenting the doc generation architecture in the
top-level meson.build outline comment.
Change-Id: Ic3eb6d26e3cc249a1c042fd3ced22d637ac66a69
code blocks, if not surrounded by empty lines, have the language
tags (in these cases, always `nix`) show up in the output of :doc.
for example:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example: nix builtins.parseFlakeRef
"github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: nix { dir =
"lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type =
"github"; }
is now instead:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example:
| builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib"
evaluates to:
| { dir = "lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type = "github"; }
