2019-10-21 | doc: move fhs and mkShell under builders/special | Frederik Rietdijk | 1 | -0/+1 | |
In my opinion Functions should only contain pure functions. These are both meant to provide derivations so I put them under Builders. Don't know exactly *where* to put them so "special" it is... | |||||

2019-10-20 | doc: merge package notes and package-specific notes | Frederik Rietdijk | 1 | -1/+0 | |
Maybe there was an idea behind this separation, but looking at the contents I don't see any reason for these being separate. | |||||
2019-10-20 | doc: organize chapters into parts, and reduce toc depth | Frederik Rietdijk | 1 | -16/+28 | |
Reorganize the chapters into parts and reduce the TOC depth to make the TOC useful again. The top-level TOC is very brief, but that is fine because every part will have its own TOC. Section titles of languages/frameworks are also simplified to just the name of the language/framework. | |||||

2017-01-16 | Add overlays mechanism to Nixpkgs. | Nicolas B. Pierron | 1 | -0/+1 | |
This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays". By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`, or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`. If the environment variable does not name a valid directory then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory. If the home directory does not exists it will fallback on an empty list of overlays. The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages. The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links are used in alphabetical order. The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like: ```nix self: super: { } ``` More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query the final result of the fix-point. An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at: https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory. | |||||

This commit adds some very minimial documentation to the Nix manual. Hopefully, its enough to get someone started and serve as a first footstep for future documentation writers | |||||
2015-12-19 | nixpkgs manual: split languages into separate files | Vladimír Čunát | 1 | -1/+1 | |
There's no change in content except for amending the title of the section to mention "frameworks", as e.g. I don't consider Qt a language, and it's likely there will be more of similar cases in future. To be certain, I checked diff of the generated HTMLs. | |||||
