so that meta.description examples shown in the documentation
align with recommendations given in the "Meta attributes" section
in pkgs/README.md.
The changes were made with the following commands:
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/"([Aa]n?|[Tt]he)\s(.)/"\U\2/'
nix run nixpkgs#silver-searcher -- -l0 'description\s*=\s*".*\."' doc \
| xargs -0 nix run nixpkgs#gnused -- -i '' -Ee '/description/s/\."/"/'
Problem: `nix-build doc` gives a bunch of warnings because it inspects
`lib` to figure out where all the symbols are.
Solution: Move the step of figuring out where the symbols are to
a Nix evaluation inside a derivation instead.
Running the `update.py` script directly doesn't work anymore, so instead
replace all usages of it in the documentation with `nix-shell -p
vimPluginsUpdater --run 'vim-plugins-updater'`.
`mkComposerRepository` required `pname` and `version` since the beginning
(b36ad2f517), with the boolean attribute
becoming required later (3eb168da92).
For whatever reason `zip` in this case doesn't seem to be respecting the
`$TMP` or `$TMPDIR` variables, resulting in a permission denied error on
Darwin when sandbox is enabled.
The `-b` flag allows one to manually specify a tempdir, which allows the
build to succeed in spite of sandboxing.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/326380
This commit introduces two new properties:
`enable` and `type`, to replace the `enabled` property.
`enable` has the same meaning as is common across nixpkgs.
`type` has the same meaning as the existing `enabled` property.
`enabled` property is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Fixes#180654
`meta.sourceProvenance` has its own level 2 heading at the bottom of the file,
but unlike the other meta-attributes it doesn't have a level 3 heading under the
"Standard meta-attributes" section. Readers looking at the list of subheadings
directly under the "Standard meta-attributes" section header may not realize
that `meta.sourceProvenance` exists unless they scroll down to the bottom of the
page.
This commit adds a level 3 heading for sourceProvenance under "Standard
meta-attributes".
this removes the hard-coded listing from the Haskell examples, which can later be replaced by
a dynamic one as for the Python interpreters

`rustc.config` is called `rust.rustcTarget` now, and
`{rustc -> rust}.platform`.
This is the new way (tm), and is preferred since
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/271707 -
though the documentation still is outdated, and some expressions in
nixpkgs were using the old interface.
This updates both.
linuxManualConfig involves more boilerplate to change the kernel. Use
the wrapper linuxPackages_custom which is wrapper that takes an
attribute sets and calls linuxManualConfig approrpriately.
This is much easier for beginners to use instead of linuxManualConfig
helper.
Point to linuxManualConfig for further customizations.
* doc: add stdenv passthru chapter
Broad strokes:
- create the chapter
- move existing stdenv passthru coverage into it
- move out-of-place coverage of passthru.tests from the stdenv meta chapter into it
- (try to) apply 1-sentence-per-line to text I've touched
- add legacy anchors for everything moved
- update existing links to the new anchors
- add tentative motivating text
- make nixpkgs-internal links relative/branchless
razor: if it is only ever needed by contributors, which is likely if links
refer to the latest revision of the source code, then it's for
the contributor guide
