Move the manpage-to-URL mapping to `doc/manpage-urls.json` so that we can
reuse that file elsewhere, and generate the `link-manpages.lua` filter from
that file.
Also modify the Pandoc filter so that it doesn't wrap manpages that are
already inside a link.
Keeping a Lua filter is essential for speed: a Python filter would
increase the runtime `md-to-db.sh` from ~20s to ~30s (but Python is not
to blame; marshalling Pandoc types to and from JSON is a costly operation).
Parsing in Lua seems tedious, so I went with the Nix way.
There should be no reason to use this package as it's a remnant of
non-modular X. Chances are you do not want every single library it
used to pull in:
freetype fontconfig xorg.xorgproto xorg.libX11 xorg.libXt
xorg.libXft xorg.libXext xorg.libSM xorg.libICE
Just pick the ones you really need instead.
`nixpkgs` does not have any users of `xlibsWrapper`.

This commit upgrades headscale to the newest version, 0.17.0 and updates
the module with the current breaking config changes.
In addition, the module is rewritten to conform with RFC0042 to try to
prevent some drift between the module and the upstream.
A new maintainer, Misterio77, is added as maintainer.

* minio: add legacy fs version 2022-10-24T18-35-07Z
This allows users to migrate their data to versions that already removed
support for the legacy fs backend.
* Update nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2305.section.md

Document the `linux.override` way first, then `linuxManualConfig`.
Add a `linux.configEnv` passthru attribute for quickly getting a
`make nconfig`-ready shell.
Make "$out" more conformant to the bin/ lib/ share/ hirarchy
instead of messing up the user profile
with stuff like cmake/ config/ macros/ icons/ js/ tutorials/ ...
In this layout,
* `tutorials` is now under `share/doc/ROOT/tutorial`
* `cmake`, `font`, `icons`, `js` and `macro` is now under `share/root`
* `Makefile.comp` and `Makefile.config` in now under `etc/root`.
When running nixos-rebuild -I, the man page just said "-I path" which could be interpreted as
"just a path to nixpkgs", which in fact it actually has the same meaning as NIX_PATH.
This is now made clear in the manual, so that when grepping "-I" and "NIX_PATH" one quickly finds
the format of the option.
I don't know how to link to the "nix manual" as stated in the docbook, so I left that as it is.
Additionally, it wasn't clear to me how to actually build the man pages and view the changes I made.
That's now in the contributing-to-this-manual.chapter.md.
Avoids confusion: `vim-full`'s build-time features are configurable, but both
`vim` and `vim-full` are *customizable* (in the sense of user configuration).
I'm well aware that this issue is currently under discussion[1] and that
these things may change. Also, please don't misinterpret this as an
attempt to end the discussion.
This topic made it obvious that people are surprised by the way this
issue is handled and only finding out about this unwritten rule because
of asking is not a good state IMHO, so I decided to document the
following things:
* Right now we drop kernels as soon as they get out of maintenance (LTS
kernels even before the next stable NixOS that will exceed their
lifespan).
* The `latestCompatibleLinuxPackages` attribute from ZFS isn't
monotonic since latest only refers to the latest supported kernel.
* In fact `latestCompatibleLinuxPackages` doesn't seem to be documented
at all in the manual, so I also did that.

Adds a new option for backup jobs `inhibitsSleep` which prevents
the system from going to sleep while a backup is in progress.
Uses `systemd-inhibit`, which holds a "lock" that prevents the
system from sleeping while the process it invokes is running.
This did require wrapping the existing backup script using
`writeShellScript` so that it could be run by `systemd-inhibit`.
When using the declarative shared folder configuration for resilio sync
it is now possible to pass a path from which to read the secret should
be read at runtime. The path will not be added to the nix store.
The 'secret' parameter to specify the secret directly is still
supported. This option will still store the secret in the nix store.
This commit follows the pattern described in this issue, for upstream
programs that do not provide support for setting a password using a
file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24288
Add a section on ordering option definitions.
Also mention `mkDefault` in the section on `mkOverride`.
Clarify the code a bit by renaming `defaultPriority` to
`defaultOverridePriority` and introducing `defaultOrderPriority`.
The placement of this option under `nix` was misleading, as it is not
configuration of the Nix daemon, but rather configuration of the NixOS
boot process and how it mounts the Nix store. As such, make it an option
of `boot` to clarify what it actually affects, and imply that it will
only take effect on a reboot.
Since it no longer has the context of nix, adjust the name to include
it.
Packages built with `haskellPackages.callHackage` won't be rebuilt when
updating `all-cabal-hashes`.
The removed comment was keeping a reference to the `cabal2nix` call,
which itself depends on `all-cabal-hashes`, in order to keep this file
during a garbage collection.
The tradeoff is between:
- The current behavior: a mass rebuild, any change of `all-cabal-hashes`
triggers a rebuild of all the packages built with `callHackage` and
packages which depend on them. This can take hours, and may happen
after a "small" unrelated change (i.e. an user is bumping
`all-cabal-hashes` in order to use a new package from hackage). It
also have global impacts in a project (long rebuild in CI, new entries
in cache, developers need to fetch the new entries, ...). In this
context, `cabal2nix` entries are not garbage collected.
- The new behavior: No mass rebuild, but `cabal2nix` derivations need to
be recomputed after a garbage collection. This is usually fast (a few
seconds by call), linear with the number of calls and should not
happen a lot (i.e. users are not garbage collecting everyday).
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/194751 for details.
This also removes automatic enablement/mounting of instance store swap
devices and ext3 filesystems. This behaviour is strongly opinionated
and shouldn't be enabled by default.
The unionfs behaviour never took effect anyway, because the AMI
manifest path only exists for instance store-backed AMIs, which have
not been supported by nixpkgs since
84742e2293 (2019).
Enabling Wayland support by default prevents use of XWayland on Wayland
systems, while correctly falling back to X11 when Wayland is
unavailable in the current session.
With the current packaging many people unnecessarily rely on the
`firefox` attribute, which is suggested by nixos-generate-config, which
in turn makes their Firefox use XWayland, when it shouldn't, which
causes bugs with GNOME on Wayland:
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/firefox-all-black-when-first-launched-after-login/21143
Using the Wayland-enabled Firefox was tested on pure X11 systems by
contributors on the #nix-mozilla:nixos.org room and we are confident
this change will not cause severe regressions.
Even better, people can now toggle `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=<0|1>` in their
environment to override this decision, should they feel the need to do
so.
The `sparseCheckout` argument allows the user to specify directories or
patterns of files, which Git uses to filter files it should check-out.
Git expects a multi-line string on stdin ("newline-delimited list", see
`git-sparse-checkout(1)`), but within nixpkgs it is more consistent to
use a list of strings instead. The list elements are joined to a
multi-line string only before passing it to the builder script.
A deprecation warning is emitted if a (multi-line) string is passed to
`sparseCheckout`, but for the time being it is still accepted.
The nixos-generate-config command mentioned in the manual fails with error:
nixos-generate-config: no need to specify `/` with `--root`, it is the default
This was introduced in 611b8c4472
(#161034). Now, the command should be called without any arguments.
Relative paths are interpreted relative to the working directory, which
is currently unset and thus defaults to `/`. However we want to change
the working directory in a future release such that relative paths are
interpreted relative to `/var/lib/syncthing`.
Upon testing the change itself I realized that it doesn't build properly
because
* the `pname` of a php extension is `php-<name>`, not `<name>`.
* calling the extension `openssl-legacy` resulted in PHP trying to compile
`ext/openssl-legacy` which broke since it doesn't exist:
source root is php-8.1.12
setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to timestamp 1666719000 of file php-8.1.12/win32/wsyslog.c
patching sources
cdToExtensionRootPhase
/nix/store/48mnkga4kh84xyiqwzx8v7iv090i7z66-stdenv-linux/setup: line 1399: cd: ext/openssl-legacy: No such file or directory
I didn't encounter that one before because I was mostly interested in
having a sane behavior for everyone not using this "feature" and the
documentation around this. My findings about the behavior with turning
openssl1.1 on/off are still valid because I tested this on `master` with
manually replacing `openssl` by `openssl_1_1` in `php-packages.nix`.
To work around the issue I had to slightly modify the extension
build-system for PHP:
* The attribute `extensionName` is now relevant to determine the output
paths (e.g. `lib/openssl.so`). This is not a behavioral change for
existing extensions because then `extensionName==name`.
However when specifying `extName` in `php-packages.nix` this value is
overridden and it is made sure that the extension called `extName` NOT
`name` (i.e. `openssl` vs `openssl-legacy`) is built and installed.
The `name` still has to be kept to keep the legacy openssl available
as `php.extensions.openssl-legacy`.
Additionally I implemented a small VM test to check the behavior with
server-side encryption:
* For `stateVersion` below 22.11, OpenSSL 1.1 is used (in `basic.nix`
it's checked that OpenSSL 3 is used). With that the "default"
behavior of the module is checked.
* It is ensured that the PHP interpreter for Nextcloud's php-fpm
actually loads the correct openssl extension.
* It is tested that (encrypted) files remain usable when (temporarily)
installing OpenSSL3 (of course then they're not decryptable, but on a
rollback that should still be possible).
Finally, a few more documentation changes:
* I also mentioned the issue in `nextcloud.xml` to make sure the issue
is at least mentioned in the manual section about Nextcloud. Not too
much detail here, but the relevant option `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE`
is referenced.
* I fixed a few minor wording issues to also give the full context
(we're talking about Nextcloud; we're talking about the PHP extension
**only**; please check if you really need this even though it's
enabled by default).
This is because I felt that sometimes it might be hard to understand
what's going on when e.g. an eval-warning appears without telling where
exactly it comes from.
* s/NextCloud/Nextcloud/g
* `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE` should be enabled by default for any NixOS
installation from before 22.11 to make sure existing installations
don't run into the issue. Not the other way round.
* Update release notes to reflect on that.
* Improve wording of the warning a bit: explain which option to change
to get rid of it.
* Ensure that basic tests w/o `enableBrokenCiphersForSSE` run with
OpenSSL 3.
Allow building other than Legacy-BIOS-only Proxmox images.
Default is unchanged.
To build UEFI proxmox image use:
proxmox.qemuConf.bios = "ovmf";
(default is "seabios")
To build image bootable using both "seabios" and "ovmf" use:
partitionTableType = "hybrid";
BIOS can be switched in Proxmox between "seabios" and "ovmf" and VM still boots.
(GRUB2-only, systemd-boot does not boot under "seabios")
To build systemd-boot UEFI image:
proxmox.qemuConf.bios = "ovmf";
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
Support will be dropped on 01 Jan 2023[1]. Normally we'd keep it around
until then, but considering that it's an LTS kernel it may be better to
do it before 22.11 to make sure there are no unpleasant surprises.
