Timothy DeHerrera c012f2f4ed treewide cleanups and refactoring for initial tests (#157)
- [x] refactor lib into separate files, similar to NixOS/nixpkgs/lib.
- [x] refactor ci to automatically generate derivations from flake outputs
- [x] remove cluttered indirection statements throughout the codebase
- [x] refactor hosts to allow for upcoming integration tests
- [x] improve ambiguity in the existing docs 
- [x] add [BORS](https://bors.tech) support
- [x] add initial integration test
- [x] write tests documentation
- [x] test lib
- [x] improve version string generation, and do so automatically for pkgs/flake.nix sources

Clean up the codebase as best we can in preparation for #152 and add tests. From now on, all PRs will be merged with BORS.

Hosts

Nix flakes contain an output called nixosConfigurations declaring an attribute set of valid NixOS systems. To simplify the management and creation of these hosts, devos automatically imports every .nix file inside this directory to the mentioned attribute set, applying the projects defaults to each. The only hard requirement is that the file contain a valid NixOS module.

As an example, a file hosts/system.nix will be available via the flake output nixosConfigurations.system. You can have as many hosts as you want and all of them will be automatically imported based on their name.

For each host, the configuration automatically sets the networking.hostName attribute to the name of the file minus the .nix extension. This is for convenience, since nixos-rebuild automatically searches for a configuration matching the current systems hostname if one is not specified explicitly.

It is recommended that the host modules only contain configuration information specific to a particular piece of hardware. Anything reusable across machines is best saved for profile modules.

This is a good place to import sets of profiles, called suites, that you intend to use on your machine.

Additionally, this is the perfect place to import anything you might need from the nixos-hardware repository.

Example

hosts/librem.nix:

{ suites, hardware, ... }:
{
  imports = suites.laptop ++ [ hardware.purism-librem-13v3 ];

  boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
  boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;

  fileSystems."/" = { device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos"; };
}
