with manual chapters no longer needing pandoc for their conversion to
xml we can get rid of this source of confusion, and its huge cache of
xml files.

-        an option</link> to repeat a build a number of times to test

-        <literal>services.printing.cupsdConf</literal> and

-        The <literal>services.xserver.startGnuPGAgent</literal> option

-        supports) the <quote>start everything as a child of the
-        agent</quote> scheme we’ve implemented in NixOS for older
-        versions. To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the
