All other functions are in the form of `*{c,C}heckpointBuild*`, so we
deprecate the `mkCheckpointedBuild` function in favor of `mkCheckpointBuild`.
Also address some inconsistencies in the docs: some `buildOutput` should
actually be `incrementalBuildArtifacts`.
It is fine to use `with` on the inputs, since that increases the
overall readability of the package.
Removes `wheel` from `nativeBuildInputs`, since it is a result of
cargo culting from an earlier setuptools example, that was wrong, and
it is not required, since it is provided by setuptools itself.
The python-updates branch was formerly called python-unstable, but the
new branch name was never mentioned in the docs. This commit changes the
branch name in the docs to python-updates.
We get a dependency list with pub2nix now. We can no longer easily distinguish between development dependency dependencies and regular dependency dependencies, but we weren't doing this anyway.
The mkBinaryCache section now follows the convention of using one
line per sentence, as well as using admonitions for notes and
examples.
The example syntax was updated to define a fully-working nix package.
The following changes are made:
- Document how `wrapType2` and `wrapType1` are the same thing.
- Expand on how `wrapType2` works and additional arguments it uses.
- Document `extract` and show how it's used in combination with
`wrapType2`.
- Provide full working examples using the new admonition syntax.
Without this, it's impossible to override the lockFile as the default
overrideAttrs is applied after the composition in buildNimPackage has
read the lock file and generated the nim flags from it.
For the time being, we're moving towards https://nix.dev/ containing
all tutorials and guides. The Nixpkgs manual is reinforced to be a
_reference_ manual. While it's not just reference for now, that's what
the docs team is working towards.
This commits rewrites the Nixpkgs manual introduction to reflect that
and point to some more useful links. The contribution docs are updated
similarly so it's not missed.
