Phileas LebadaandPeter Tripp a4f7747c73 Improve extension development docs (#33646)
I'm installing an extension for the first time from source and assumed
that the sentence

> If you already have a published extension with the same name
installed, your dev extension will override it.

also means that it would override the already installed extension.

Besides that I've had to use `--foreground` mode to also get more
meaningful error messages under NixOS without using
`programs.nix-ld.enabled = true;`.


Release Notes:

- Improved Zed documentation for extension development

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for ways you can contribute to Zed.

Also... we're hiring! Check out our jobs page for open roles.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
