Eelco Dolstra c8fa39324a Generate the nix.conf docs from the source code
This means we don't have two (divergent) sets of option descriptions
anymore.

Eelco Dolstra 8a97b11374 Improve margins between sections
The default CSS puts almost no space between sections, but a lot of
space between subsections. This flips that around.

Matthew Bauer 641c950701 Add hashed-mirrors back
Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror
things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although
this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always
easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has.
Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave
support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in
Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix.

Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in
\#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org.

Mention number of derivations to be build/fetched in output
2020-06-18 19:03:05 +02:00
Samir Talwar 9069759767 Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix.
Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This
is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the
manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this.

Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making
installation a no-op.
