Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.
That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.
Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.
Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.
Tested:
- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted
This removes our hardcoded presets which weren't updated for quite some time.
Infinality now has new hardcoded presets in freetype, which can be overriden if
desired with environment variables (as before). Accordingly, updated NixOS
module to set the hardcoded preset.
Additionally used a more "right" type for substitutions.
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.
In light of Emacs packaging improvements such as those mentioned
in #11503, and with the addition of a systemd service (#15807
and #16356), and considering that the wiki page is completely
out of date (#13217), it seems that some documentation is in order.
Enabling EFI runtime services provides a venue for injecting code into
the kernel.
When grsecurity is enabled, we close this by default by disabling access
to EFI runtime services. The upshot of this is that
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars will be unavailable by default (and attempts
to mount it will fail).
This is not strictly a grsecurity related option, it could be made into
a general option, but it seems to be of particular interest to
grsecurity users (for non-grsecurity users, there are other, more
immediate kernel injection attack dangers to contend with anyway).
* Hydra doesn't like spaces in filenames.
* The zip file contained nix/store/.../OEBPS rather than OEBPS at
top-level, causing some programs (like okular) to barf.
* Remove the redundant $dst/epub directory.
* manual: Mark commands that require root
Mark every command that requires to be run as root by prefixing them
with '#' instead of '$'.
* manual: Add note about commands that require root
When displaying a warning about a removed Option we should always
include reasoning why it was removed and how to get the same
functionality without it.
Introduces such a description argument and patches occurences (mostly
with an empty string).
startGnuPGAgent: further notes on replacement
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
