the nix-shell command documentation

It's not a limitation of `/usr/bin/env`, it's just how the OS processes shebang lines

Some benchmarking suggested this as a good value. Running
$ benchmark -f ... -t 25 -- sh -c 'rm -f /nix/var/nix/binary-cache*; nix-store -r /nix/store/x5z8a2yvz8h6ccmhwrwrp9igg03575jg-nixos-15.09.git.5fd87e1M.drv --dry-run --option binary-caches-parallel-connections <N>'
gave the following mean elapsed times for these values of N:
N=10: 3.3541
N=20: 2.9320
N=25: 2.6690
N=30: 2.9417
N=50: 3.2021
N=100: 3.5718
N=150: 4.2079
Memory usage is also reduced (N=150 used 186 MB, N=25 only 68 MB).
Closes #708.

- rename options but leav old names as lower-priority aliases,
also "-dirs" -> "-paths" to get closer to the meaning
- update docs to reflect the new names (old aliases are not documented),
including a new file with release notes
- tests need an update after corresponding changes to nixpkgs
- __noChroot is left as it is (after discussion on the PR)

Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be
repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the
build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as
valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We
already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded
build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered
in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that
non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)

This allows overriding the name component of the resulting Nix store
path, which is necessary if the base name of the URI contains
"illegal" characters.

This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and
its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example:
$ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz
or from a Nix expression:
$ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src
In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a
fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to
"recursive".

Update prerequisites-source.xml
|
|
For example,
$ nix-prefetch-url -A hello.src
will prefetch the file specified by the fetchurl call in the attribute
‘hello.src’ from the Nix expression in the current directory. This
differs from ‘nix-build -A hello.src’ in that it doesn't verify the
hash.
You can also specify a path to the Nix expression:
$ nix-prefetch-url ~/Dev/nixpkgs -A hello.src
List elements (typically used in ‘patches’ attributes) also work:
$ nix-prefetch-url -A portmidi.patches.0

The Perl WWW::Curl bindings are required to build Nix.

This can be used to implement functions like ‘imap’ (or for that
matter, ‘map’) without the quadratic complexity incurred by calling
‘++’ repeatedly.
|
|
This is a generalisation of replaceChars in Nixpkgs.
|
|
These are used thousands of times during NixOS evaluation, so it's
useful to speed them up.

And make exportPath() less spammy by default.

This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full
access to the chroot root.
The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example,
on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably
be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the
program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not
necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do
their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of
OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The
pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

Going to reimplement differently.
This reverts commit 1e4a4a2e9fc382f47f58b448f3ee034cdd28218a.

If ‘build-use-chroot’ is set to ‘true’, fixed-output derivations are
now also chrooted. However, unlike normal derivations, they don't get
a private network namespace, so they can still access the
network. Also, the use of the ‘__noChroot’ derivation attribute is
no longer allowed.
Setting ‘build-use-chroot’ to ‘relaxed’ gives the old behaviour.
|
|
If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an
exception if an attempt is made to access any file outside of the Nix
search path. This is primarily intended for Hydra, where we don't want
people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.
