In general the man pages do not care what OS and manual they are shipped
with, so they don't get to choose the names of them. We were tempted to
do so, as we had inconsistently chosen OS names for the mandoc and
man-db/groff implementations. Since this has been rectified since, we
can just drop this boilerplate from the man pages.
Upstream has officially abandoned the project as of 2021 [0], there's been
no release since 2016, it uses the EoL Qt 4, and alternatives like
KeePassXC exist.
Also move KeePassXC to its own directory -- it doesn't make sense to
have it in KeePassX's folder anymore.

this reproduces the docbook-generated html manual exactly enough to
appease the compare workflows while we still support both toolchains.
it's also a lot faster than the docbook toolchain, rendering the entire
html manual in about two seconds on this machine (while docbook needs
about 20).
Provide a module to configure Coqui TTS, available as `tts` in nixpkgs
for a few releases already.
The module supports multiple servers in parallel, so multiple languages
and testing scenarios can be covered, without affecting any production
usage.
options processing is pretty slow right now, mostly because the
markdown-it-py parser is pure python (and with performance
pessimizations at that). options parsing *is* embarassingly parallel
though, so we can just fork out all the work to worker processes and
collect the results.
multiprocessing probably has a greater benefit on linux than on darwin
since the worker spawning method darwin uses is less efficient than
fork() on linux. this hasn't been tested on darwin, only on linux, but
if anything darwin will be faster with its preferred method.
these files provided mainly or exclusively xml-related tooling and
support for editing the manual. since docbook is now an implementation
detail (except for still being allowed in option docs, for now) these
tools are no longer necessary, useful, or even functional.
xmlformat.conf is still used by the nixpkgs documentation, so we have to
keep it. there's no reason it can't go live with the nixpkgs docs though.
this adds support for structural includes to nixos-render-docs.
structural includes provide a way to denote the (sub)structure of the
nixos manual in the markdown source files, very similar to how we used
literal docbook blocks before, and are processed by nixos-render-docs
without involvement of xml tooling. this will ultimately allow us to
emit the nixos manual in other formats as well, e.g. html, without going
through docbook at all.
alternatives to this source layout were also considered:
a parallel structure using e.g. toml files that describe the document
tree and links to each part is possible, but much more complicated to
implement than the solution chosen here and makes it harder to follow
which files have what substructure. it also makes it much harder to
include a substructure in the middle of a file.
much the same goes for command-line arguments to the converter, only
that command-lined arguments are even harder to specify correctly and
cannot be reasonably pulled together from many places without involving
another layer of tooling. cli arguments would also mean that the manual
structure would be fixed in default.nix, which is also not ideal.
- inline copySources into single user
- remove `inherit sources` where it's not necessary
- inline generatedSources. this will go away completely soon so we may
as well.
- inline modulesDoc into manual-combined. this too will go away soon.
- inline sources into manual-combined. this too will go away soon.
once we generate the entire manual-combined.xml with a single
nixos-render-docs invocation we will no longer need any options xml
files. likewise we do not need the test options xml in the manpage
build. splitting manpages-combined from manual-combined also allows
these two to run in parallel, slightly improving build times.
man-configuration.xml is the only manpage we build using docbook at this
time, and man-pages.xml includes just this one file. inline
man-configuration.nix into man-pages.xml so we can refer to a single
file to grab the manpage sources later rather than using find-by-suffix.
render all manual chapters to docbook from scratch every time the manual
is built. nixos-render-docs is quick enough at this to not worry about
the cost (needing only about a second), and it means we can remove
md-to-db.sh in the next commit.
no changes to the rendered html manual except for replacements and smartquotes.
we'll soon add another docbook converter that does not emit a section as
a collection of chapters, but sections or chapters on their own. this
should clarify naming a bit before there can be any confusion.
since support for kbd elements was added with explicit intent in #175128
it seems like a good idea to support this in nixos-render-docs instead
of just dropping it in favor of `*F12*` etc. since it's a very rare
thing in the manual and purely presentational it makes sense to use
bracketed spans instead of a new myst role.
the html-elements.lua plugin is now somewhat misnamed, but it'll go away
very soon so we don't want to bother renaming it.
this is a lot easier than adding footnote support for just the one
instance. if a use case for footnotes appears in the future (e.g. if we
wanted to render the nixpkgs manual with nixos-render-docs as well) this
decision should be reevaluated.
nixos-render-docs supports inline anchors, but not ids for blocks. it
seems wise to reserve blocks for special cases that don't have other
syntax already, like admonitions.
pandoc drops .title classes when rendering to docbook, so these are
effectively just paragraphs anyway. without support for including them
in a table of contents the complexity of parsing them in
nixos-render-docs won't be warranted.
the examples for mkPackageOption weren't terminated, leading to pretty
odd nesting of docbook (and thus html) elements. close them properly.
also turn the (likewise unclosed) fenced div containing just an anchor
id and a class that will be silently dropped to an inline anchor while
we're here. we'd have to convert it anyway later.
markdown-it parses deflists slitghtly differently than pandoc does. in
these two cases pandoc would find a deflist item while markdown-it would
not, instead it'd find a lone colon and the rest of the text.
pandoc renders these to multiple docbook paragraphs in a single
definition for the term, not multiple *actual* definitions for the same
term. this is most likely not what is intended here, so let's use
multiple paragraphs instead.
this should be placed before the appendices, not between them. might
even have a good place in the development part, but that's a decision
for another day.
mdoc is just too slow to render on groff, and semantic markup doesn't
help us any for generated pages.
this produces a lot of changes to configuration.nix.5, but only few
rendering changes. most of those seem to be place losing a space where
docbook emitted roff code that did not faithfully represent the input
text, though a few places also gained space where docbook dropped them.
notably we also don't need the compatibility code docbook-xsl emitted
because that problem was fixed over a decade ago.
this will handle block quotes, which the docbook stylesheets turned into
a mess of roff requests that ended up showing up in the output instead
of being processed.
This patch provides input arguments `newuidmapPath` and `newgidmapPath`
for apptainer and singularity to specify the path to the SUID-ed executables
newuidmap and newgidmap where they are not available from the FHS PATH.
As NixOS places those suided executables in a non-FHS position
(/run/wrapper/bin), this patch provides
programs.singularity.enableFakeroot option and implement with the above
input parameters.
Upstream changes:
singularity 3.8.7 (the legacy) -> apptainer 1.1.3 (the renamed) / singularity 3.10.4 (Sylabs's fork)
Build process:
* Share between different sources
* Fix the sed regexp to make defaultPath patch work
* allowGoReference is now true
* Provied input parameter removeCompat (default to false)
that removes the compatible "*singularity*" symbolic links
and related autocompletion files when projectName != "singularity"
* Change localstatedir to /var/lib
* Format with nixpkgs-fmt
* Fix the defaultPath patching
and use it instead of the `<executable> path` config directive
deprecated in Apptainer
* Provide dependencies for new functionalities such as
squashfuse (unprivileged squashfs mount)
* Provide an attribute `defaultPathInputs` to override
prefix of container runtime default PATH
NixOS module programs.singularity:
* Allow users to specify packages
* Place related directories to /var/lib
* Format with nixpkgs-fmt
singularity-tools:
* Allow users to specify packages
* Place related directories to /var/lib when building images in VM
nixos/manual/manpages: add description on previewing manpage files
I was a bit lost with the new manpage format and it took me some time to
find the corresponding pull request by @pennae with a very helpful
comment of @alyssais that mentioned this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/213256#issuecomment-1407713215
As @pennae noted, the file path is only a fallback if it cannot be resolved in the man database

This commit changes from a precompiled bundle to
a source file. Accordingly, the expression file is renamed to `default.nix`
and the old attribute name is changed to `tvbrowser`, the old one being now a
throw-message.
The upstream build script tries to download the news plugin; so, we provide
this and pass it as a parameter.
Given that this is still a piece of a precompiled Java bytecode, along with a
main readable source bundle, `meta.sourceProvenance` is updated accordingly.
since we want to move away from docbook and having docbook manpages
around is going to block further progress we have to translate the
current nixos manpages from docbook it *something* else. mdoc seems the
most appropriate choice since markdown can't represent all the things
manpages can differentiate with even more extensions. if we ever need
html manpages we can render them using troff, like many of the online
manpage viewers, or rewrite them again. since we haven't had html
manpages for any of these in many years that seems unlikely to happen.
unlike most of the recent markdown conversions this comes with a lot of
minor rendering changes, mostly in spacing. docbook-xslt creates manual
pages in a very different dialect than mdoc (which is used here).
As announced in the NixOS 22.11 release notes, 23.05 will switch NixOS
to using nsncd (a non-caching reimplementation in Rust) as NSS lookup
dispatcher, instead of the buggy and deprecated glibc-provided nscd.
If you need to switch back, set `services.nscd.enableNsncd = false`, but
please open an issue in nixpkgs so your issue can be fixed.
...for explicitly named network interfaces
This reverts commit 6ae3e7695e.
(and evaluation fixups 08d26bbb727aed90a969)
Some of the tests fail or time out after the merge.
Wordpress bundles some non-essential plugins and themes, then pesters
users to upgrade them. As we make the whole webroot readonly, it is
not possible to trivially delete them. Instead we should have users
explicitly install plugins via the existing nixos module.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
In an effort to better encode version strings and use descriptive pnames
that do not conflict with top level pkgs, we currently use
wordpress-${type}-${pname} for pname. This is good for the nix store,
but when we synthesize the wordpress derivation in our module, we reuse
this pname for the output directory.
Internally wordpress can handle this fine, since plugins must register
via php, not directory. Unfortunately, many plugins like civicrm and
wpforms-lite are designed to rely upon the name of their install
directory for homing or discovery.
As such, we should follow both the upstream convention and
services.nextcloud.extraApps and use an attribute set for these options.
This allows us to not have to deal with the implementation details of
plugins and themes, which differ from official and third party, but also
give users the option to override the install location. The only issue
is that it breaks the current api.
`shell_interact()` is currently not nice to use. If you try to cancel
the socat process, it will also break the nixos test. Furthermore
ptpython creates it's own terminal that subprocesses are running in,
which breaks some of the terminal features of socat.
Hence this commit extends `shell_interact` to allow also to connect to
arbitrary servers i.e. tcp servers started by socat.
as far as we can tell nixos has only ever had a total of one olink, and
currently has no olinks at all. we can't currently represent olinks in
markdown docs, and if we re-add support for cross-document links they
will take a different form (and not use docbook, which will have to be
phased out before we re-add anything).
the olinkdb is thus unused and takes 10 seconds on our machine to build,
holding up the rest of the manual for no benefit.
Without this commit, unsetting any of the `services.kubo.settings` options does not reset the value back to the default. This commit gets rid of this statefulness.
This is achieved by generating the default config, applying the user specified config options to it and then patching the `Identity` and `Pinning` config options from the old config back in. This new config is then applied using `ipfs config replace`.
The only remaining stateful parts of the config are the `Identity` and `Pinning.RemoteServices` settings as those can't be changed with `ipfs config replace`. `Pinning.RemoteServices` also contains secrets that shouldn't be in the Nix store. Setting these options wasn't possible before as it would result in an error when the daemon tried to start. I added some assertions to guard against this case.
Trivial conflict in release notes, except that the xml/docbook parts
are horrible for (semi-)automatic conflict resolution.
Fortunately that's generated anyway.
Adds a new option to the virtualisation modules that enables specifying
explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing
`virtualisation.vlans` is still supported for cases where the name of
the network interface is irrelevant.
`autosuspend` is a daemon that periodically runs user-defined checks to
verify whether the system should be suspended. It's already available
in nixpkgs. This adds a NixOS module which starts the daemon as a
systemd service.

following the plan in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/189318#discussion_r961764451
also adds an activation script to print the warning during activation
instead of during build, otherwise folks using the new CLI that hides
build logs by default might never see the warning.
