This patch fixes "Argument list too long" build failure when passing a
list of store paths to system.extraDependencies that exceeds Linux'
MAX_ARG_STRLEN limit of 128 KiB. With the shortest possible derivation
names (one byte), the 128 KiB limit is equivalent to about 2850
derivations. With longer derivations names, the limit is hit earlier.
Fix this restriction.
Enable using an erofs filesystem as one of the filesystems needed to
boot the system. This is useful for example in image based deployments
where the Nix store is mounted read only.
[erofs](https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/erofs.html) offers multiple
benefits over older filesystems like squashfs. Skip fsck.erofs because
it is still experimental.
Note that this does not add to the `forbiddenDependenciesRegex`
code because that code check should be unaffected as it only checks
output dependencies, not build dependencies.
Build deps are added after that check, if those are enabled in the
first place.
Store the definition files in the initrd instead of reading them from
the Nix store in /sysroot.
This way, the initrd has to be re-generated every time the definition
files change. When the path to the defintion files instead of the
definition files themselves are embedded in the initrd, however, the
initrd also has to be re-generated every time. In this regard, this
change does not improve the status quo.
However, now systemd-repart also works reliable when the Nix store is
mounted separately from the root partition.
This change also enables new use-cases like creating partitions
necessary to boot the system. However, by default, the root partition
cannot be created on first boot because the systemd-repart service
requires a /sysroot to be mounted. Otherwise, systemd-repart cannot
determine the device to operate on.
Since v253, systemd-repart tries to create temporary directories in
/var/tmp. However, this directory doesn't exist in the initrd. This
commit adds an enviroment variable to re-use the existing /tmp directory
instead of /var/tmp.
When `nixpkgs.hostPlatform` != `nixpkgs.buildPlatform`, building the
top-level attribute fails since the bootspec portion of the system
builder tries to reference the host platform's `jq`. Change this to
reference the build platform's `jq`.
The `B` in bridge should be capitalized.
It currently leads to an evuluation error:
```

Did you mean sectionBridgeVLAN?
```
This removes the feature preview warning, enable by default bootspec,
adds a validation flag to prevent Go to go into build-time closure.
This will break all downstream users of bootspec as those changes are
not backward-compatible.

I don't think I can make all options magically appear, but you can
the other options by reading the text.
In order to fix
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114552 (profile name with
special characters), all OSError have been ignored while only the OSError
with errno 22 (invalid argument) could has been ignored.
The drawback of ignoring all OSError is that the "No space left on
device" error is also ignored. When the /boot doesn't have enough
available disk space, the switch-to-configuration script succeeds
while the boot menu has not been updated: the user thinks it's system
has been updated, but on the next reboot it is actually rollbacked.
