Adds options for tcp streaming and avahi zeroconf support (so that the
server can be easily found by clients).
There is also an option to allow anonymous clients to stream to the
server (by default pulseaudio uses a cookie mechanism, see manpage).
Currently NixOS creates the swapfile (with the specified size) only if
it doesn't already exist. Changing the swapfile size afterwards will not
have any effect.
This commit changes that so the swapfile will be recreated whenever
swapDevices.*.size is changed (or more precisely, whenever the actual
file size differs from the configured one), allowing both growing and
shrinking the swapfile.
The service unit has "restartIfChanged = false", so we don't have to
worry about the swapfile being in use at the time this code is run (you
have to reboot for swapfile changes).
fallocate doesn't shrink files, use truncate for that. truncate can also
be used to grow files, but it creates "holes" in the file which doesn't
work with swapfiles.
Instead of showing this output from "nixos-rebuild switch":
warning: not applying GID change of group ‘munin’
warning: not applying UID change of user ‘ntp’
print this:
warning: not applying GID change of group ‘munin’ (95 -> 102)
warning: not applying UID change of user ‘ntp’ (3 -> 179)
This makes it possible for users to take action and fixup the UIDs/GIDs
that NixOS won't touch.
This GID was used to exempt users from Grsecurity's
`/proc` restrictions; we now prefer to rely on
`security.hideProcessInformation`, which uses the `proc` group
for this purpose. That leaves no use for the grsecurity GID.
More generally, having only a single GID to, presumably, serve as the
default for all of grsecurity's GID based exemption/resriction schemes
would be problematic in any event, so if we decide to enable those
grsecurity features in the future, more specific GIDs should be added.
The primary motivation here is to get rid of builderDefs, but now the
resulting font directory is also linked into /run/current-system/sw,
which fixes#15194.
This properly implements revert in
0729f60697.
We used to have which='type -P' alias, but really it's best to just
rely on which package, only 88K in size.

Most of the desktop environments will spawn pulseaudio, but we can instead simply run it as a systemd service instead.
This patch also makes the system wide service run in foreground as recommended by the systemd projects and allows it to use sd_notify to signal ready instead of reading a pid written to a file. It is now also restarted on failure.
The user version has been tested with KDE and works fine there.
The system-wide version runs, but I haven't actually used it and upstream does not recommend running in this mode.
GnuPG 2.1.x changed the way the gpg-agent works, and that new approach no
longer requires (or even supports) the "start everything as a child of the
agent" scheme we've implemented in NixOS for older versions.
To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the following code to
~/.xsession or some other appropriate place that's sourced at start-up:
gpg-connect-agent /bye
GPG_TTY=$(tty)
export GPG_TTY
If you want to use gpg-agent for SSH, too, also add the settings
unset SSH_AGENT_PID
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh"
and make sure that
enable-ssh-support
is included in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.
The gpg-agent(1) man page has more details about this subject, i.e. in the
"EXAMPLES" section.
