Add a shell script that checks if the paths of all wrapped programs
actually exist to catch mistakes. This only checks for Nix store paths,
which are always expected to exist at build time.
To keep backward compatibility and have a typing would require making
all options null by default, adding a defaultText containing the actual
value, write the default value logic based on `!= null` and replacing
the nulls laters. This pretty much defeats the point of having used
a submodule type.
The security.wrappers option is morally a set of submodules but it's
actually (un)typed as a generic attribute set. This is bad for several
reasons:
1. Some of the "submodule" option are not document;
2. the default values are not documented and are chosen based on
somewhat bizarre rules (issue #23217);
3. It's not possible to override an existing wrapper due to the
dumb types.attrs.merge strategy;
4. It's easy to make mistakes that will go unnoticed, which is
really bad given the sensitivity of this module (issue #47839).
This makes the option a proper set of submodule and add strict types and
descriptions to every sub-option. Considering it's not yet clear if the
way the default values are picked is intended, this reproduces the current
behavior, but it's now documented explicitly.
I noticed this minor grammar mistake when running update.nix, and then
while grepping to find the source I noticed we had it a few times in
Nixpkgs. Just as easy to fix treewide as it was to fix the one
occurrence I noticed.
Allows advanced users to select what packages they want to generate the
man cache for, and even more advanced users to make manualPages
content-addressed to avoid needless rebuilds.
Adds the ability to provide the --write flag in addition to the --serve flag via
a new option, services.sshServe.write.
A user can now share their system as a remote builder with friends easily as
follows:
{
nix = {
sshServe = {
enable = true;
write = true;
keys = ["ssh-dss AAAAB3NzaC1k... alice@example.org"];
};
};
}

Matrix homeservers have two important domains. The user-visible server_name and the homeserver domain which serves most of the traffic but is really seen by users. The docs around this variable said "This is used by remote servers to connect to this server" which is very confusing because most of the remote server traffic actually goes the server domain, not the server_name domain. (The server_name domain is only used to fetch the .well-known file that points at the server domain).
I largely copied the wording from https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/usage/configuration/homeserver_sample_config.html as I found it much more clear.
The treatment of the "source" parameter changed
with eb7120dc79, breaking stuff.
Before that commit, the source parameter was converted to a
string by implicit coercion, which would copy the file to the
store and yield an string containing the store path. Now, by
the virtue of escapeShellArg, toString is called explicitly on
that path, which will yield an string containing the absolute
path of the file.
This commit restores the old behavior.
