conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Apparently since systemd v250 a `ListenStream` in an override file won't
override the unit, but will be appended to a list of socket addresses.
The socket unit fails if two or more addresses have the same port,
probably because two systemd processes try to listen to it at once.
The solution is to add an empty `ListenStream=` to reset all previous
definitions.
Fix#175478.
The argument parser used by snapserver behaves differntly for optional
arguments with existing defaults. In such cases, the standalone argument
name is a valid input and a following value is interpreted as a
positional argument. Therefore the argument and the value must be
provided as a single argument seperated by equals sign.
Snapserver expects the arguments `--tcp.bind_to_address` and
`--http.bind_to_address` instead of the `--tcp.address` (and http
equivalent) versions.
This caused the process to listen on `0.0.0.0` (for TCP and HTTP
sockets) regardless of the configuration value. It also never listend on
the IPv6 address `::` as our module system made the user believe.
This commit fixes the above issue and ensures that (at least for the TCP
socket) that our default `::` does indeed allow connections via IPv6
(to localhost aka ::1).
some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
The service likes to write files uploaded by the user to the service
user's $HOME. In our case the hqplayerd user has no home directory,
since it's a system user, and regardless we'd like to keep the service's
state contained.
With this change the unit forces HOME to point to
/var/lib/hqplayer/home, which works around the issue.
The attributes got renamed in PR #126440 and in some places this caused
evaluation errors, e.g. the tarball job was saying (locally)
> attribute 'alsaUtils' missing, at /build/source/nixos/modules/services/audio/alsa.nix:6:4
and I suspect that trunk-combined jobset's failure to evaluate was also caused.
