This reverts commit 7e6c518ce4.
I misinterpreted Github's CI failure in the notification tab and
thought that I had broken CI on origin/master, so I panic-reverted
before I merged it (I thought they had).
On closer inspection, it appears that the CI failure was not from
the tip that I merged. This PR resubmits the reverted change. I'll
wait for OfBorg to finish this time.
The manual does an okay job of explaining the rules for each of the
three development branches, but really doesn't give any intuition as
to why there are three (why not four? or two?) or how we got where
we are today.
This commit attempts to fix that, by explaining that there is one
branch that allows mass-rebuild commits, and it has a fast-building
branch both upstream and downstream of it (from the perspective of
automated merges).
I have also removed the term "stabilization" from the arc labels.
This vague term is not defined anywhere, and does communicate any
useful information without a longer explanation. Therefore it is
not appropriate for use in a diagram.

It may have to be fetchpatch, fetchpatch2, or fetchurl. We should link somewhere, but we don't have a link target yet, so until then, remove the inaccurate info.

nixos-render-docs does not support this, and since the examples are
small there isn't that much value in callouts here. change them to
simple MD code blocks and lists instead.
pandoc recognizes `::: note` admonitions, nixos-render-docs only
recognizes `::: {.note}`. surprisingly pandoc also emits the correct
docbook tags for `[](#xref)`s, so we can use that too.
skipping heading levels (eg from # to ###, or starting at ###) is legal
in pandoc, but not in nixos-render-docs. pandoc acts as though section
levels *were* consecutive, nixos-render-docs prefers to tell people not
to do that kind of thing because it can make documents more fragile.
Updates all interpreter references with 3.10/3.11, which are the
current version, that we recurse into for their package set.
Update all code examples with an explicit `format` and expand lists
with multiple items as we do in the python package set. Also set
`pythonImportsCheck` where tests are disabled.
This allows modules that declare their class to be checked.
While that's not most user modules, frameworks can take advantage
of this by setting declaring the module class for their users.
That way, the mistake of importing a module into the wrong hierarchy
can be reported more clearly in some cases.
* doc/default.nix: make the manual build on more than one core
Let's build the manual with more than one core. Maybe people will take better care of it now that it is less painful to build.
* doc/stdenv/meta.chapter.md: document meta.badPlatforms
We don't have any documentation for the `meta.badPlatforms` attribute.
This commit adds documentation for it.
* buildGoModule: don't inherit postBuild hook when building go-modules
This is a slight revert of 5ce647b8bf
(#212800).
Inheriting these hooks in the `.go-modules` derivation can be confusing:
One doesn't expect them to run when generating the fixed output modules
derivation, but only on the main derivation. A `postBuild` hook that
adds some files to $out will cause a very hard to debug issue[1].
This commit adds support for a dedicated `modPostBuild` hook that will
be used only by the derivation building `.go-modules`. Additionally,
`go.section.md` now explains these attributes behavior better.

* update.py: introduce subparsers for plugin updaters
This is preliminary work to help create more powerful plugin updaters.
Namely I would like to be able to "just add" plugins without refreshing
the older ones (helpful when github temporarily removes a user from
github due to automated bot detection).
Also concerning the lua updater, we pin some of the dependencies, and I
would like to be able to unpin the package without editing the csv
(coming in later PRs).
* doc/updaters: update command to update editor plugins
including vim, kakoune and lua packages

Instead of revisions as they should. This is (most-likely) caused by a
simple typo, because Hydra is where the revision should come from, but
it doesn't set `.revision` as the attribute, but rather `.rev`!
There has been a longstanding ambiguity between `broken` and
`badPlatforms`, which seem to serve overlapping purposes.
This commit adds to the documentation two examples of constraints
which cannot be expressed by `platforms` and `badPlatforms`.
This commit also mentions `NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1` for overriding
`broken`.
