2019-03-25 manual: mention the "channel:" shorthand for NIX_PATHDmitry Kalinkin1-2/+7
Bumped to 15.09 because older channels, when downloaded from nixos.org, require firefox to be accessed via `pkgs.firefox`
2019-01-23 nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dumpSpencer Baugh1-0/+8
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line, --dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix database at once. With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export). Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.

The manual reference was commented out, and the sole reference to this program other than the configure script. Removed both.

2018-04-30 nix-collect-garbage: little doc fixDanylo Hlynskyi1-6/+0
This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/641

Commit c2154d4c8422ddc1c201d503bb52edff854af2ad renamed "build-use-substitutes" to "use-substitutes", but that broke "nix-copy-closure --use-substitutes".
