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).
On some systems, EFI variables are not supported or otherwise wonky.
bootctl attempting to access them causes failures during bootloader
installations and updates. For such systems, NixOS provides the options
`boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables` and
`boot.loader.systemd-boot.graceful` which pass flags to bootctl that
change whether and how EFI variables are accessed.
Previously, these flags were only passed to bootctl during an install
operation. However, they also apply during an update operation, which
can cause the same sorts of errors. This change passes the flags during
update operations as well to prevent those errors.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/151336
The build of initrd-secrets can routinely fail for old boot entries
if the secrets have been removed or renamed in a later generation.
This always happens for generation 1, because it's built from the
NixOS installer and the paths differs by the mount point (i.e. /mnt).
The error is very confusing because it fails to mention it's about
an older generation and that it's somewhat harmless.
This commit turns the error into a warning for all generations but the
current, adds the name of the failed entry to the message and a note
explaining why it can happen.
apparently pandoc has changed behavior over the past releases, so the
files are no longer in sync. occasionally this requires edits
to the markdown source to not remove an anchor that was there
before (albeit wth a very questionable id), or where things were simply
being misrendered due to syntax errors.
This reverts commit da905d4cf9.
See the commit linked above for further information on why this was
needed. Apparently this is not needed anymore because the need for
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (which is needed for `modprobe(8)` to find
`libpthread.so.0`) doesn't exist anymore.
Since d33e52b253 the library path of each
binary in extra-utils is patched correctly.
nixos-enter sets up /etc/resolv.conf as a bind mount from the host
system, so trying to activate a system that sets
`environment.etc."resolv.conf"` (e.g. with systemd-resolved enabled)
results in an unhelpful warning.
Skip linking /etc/resolv.conf if we're in a nixos-enter environment, as
determined by the IN_NIXOS_ENTER environment variable.
Make the warnings more helpful, indicating which file we failed to link.
Unlink temporary files in case of failure.
That version has a regression that leaves some machines unbootable.
While we wait for the fix (252.2) to land in master, this is a workaround that
should save people some pain.
