* | doc: add function argument order convention (#110060)V2021-01-20
|/ | | | | | | | | | | * doc: add function argument order convention Ordering by usage is the de facto ordering given to arguments. It's logical, and makes finding argument usage easier. Putting lib first is common in NixOS modules, so it's reasonable to mirror this in nixpkgs proper. Additionally, it's not a package as such, has zero dependencies, and can be found used anywhere in a derivation. * doc: clean up usage of lib
* doc: add "prefer lib over stdenv.lib" conventionAlyssa Ross2021-01-10
| | | | | | | | I think we should have something in the manual people can point to about this, to avoid rehashing it over and over in PRs. "stdenv.lib" makes it look like lib is part of stdenv, which it isn't, and makes it even more confusing as a newcomer to figure out what stdenv is (and isn't).

* | A directory-category for terminal emulatorsAndersonTorres2020-10-28
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a mostly cosmetical commit, in the sense it doesn't change the contents of any package, but reorganizes the overall Nixpkgs expressions. Terminal emulators are an ubiquitous tool for any Unix user; even the beginners are routinely familiarized to it. And, manifestly, there are many implementations of terminal emulators out there, from those traditionally made in C and C++ to those written in Haskell and Go. Terminal emulators deserve more highlight. This commit does that by creating a category for them.

* treewide: use https for nixos.org and hydra.nixos.orgPavol Rusnak2020-05-03
| | | | | tarballs.nixos.org is omitted from the change because urls from there are always hashed and checked
* Update commit policy for stable release branches (#86026)davidak2020-04-26
| | | | | only very few people followed the strict policy in the last 5 years. the maintainers accept backports without reason when it's obvious, so i updated the policy to reflect that
