Andy Hamon	3716ded8df	nix-env: add a --priority flag to --install ... nix-env can read priorities from a derivations meta attributes, but this only works when installing a nix expression. nix-env can also install bare store paths, however meta attributes are not readable in that case. This means that a store path can not be installed with a specific priority. Some cases where it is advantageous to install a store path: a remote host following a `nix copy`, or any time you want to save some evaluation time and happen to already know the store path. This PR addresses this shortcoming by adding a --priority flag to nix-env --install.	2025-01-16 11:46:25 -08:00

John Ericson	eb7d7780b1	Rename doc/manual{src -> source} ... This is needed to avoid this https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/13774 when we go back to making our subproject directory `src`.	2024-10-14 11:21:24 -04:00
