The `nix.*` options, apart from options for setting up the
daemon itself, currently provide a lot of setting mappings
for the Nix daemon configuration. The scope of the mapping yields
convience, but the line where an option is considered essential
is blurry. For instance, the `extra-sandbox-paths` mapping is
provided without its primary consumer, and the corresponding
`sandbox-paths` option is also not mapped.
The current system increases the maintenance burden as maintainers have to
closely follow upstream changes. In this case, there are two state versions
of Nix which have to be maintained collectively, with different options
avaliable.
This commit aims to following the standard outlined in RFC 42[1] to
implement a structural setting pattern. The Nix configuration is encoded
at its core as key-value pairs which maps nicely to attribute sets, making
it feasible to express in the Nix language itself. Some existing options are
kept such as `buildMachines` and `registry` which present a simplified interface
to managing the respective settings. The interface is exposed as `nix.settings`.
Legacy configurations are mapped to their corresponding options under `nix.settings`
for backwards compatibility.
Various options settings in other nixos modules and relevant tests have been
updated to use structural setting for consistency.
The generation and validation of the configration file has been modified to
use `writeTextFile` instead of `runCommand` for clarity. Note that validation
is now mandatory as strict checking of options has been pushed down to the
derivation level due to freeformType consuming unmatched options. Furthermore,
validation can not occur when cross-compiling due to current limitations.
A new option `publicHostKey` was added to the `buildMachines`
submodule corresponding to the base64 encoded public host key settings
exposed in the builder syntax. The build machine generation was subsequently
rewritten to use `concatStringsSep` for better performance by grouping
concatenations.

SUID wrappers really shouldn't be enabled by default, unless a consumer
relies on them. So in my opinion this falls upon the desktop
environments if needed or a user to explicltly enable this if wanted.
Most desktop environments and services like CUPS already enable polkit
by default, that should really be sufficient.
Currently it's rather difficult to install tmux plugins. The process involves two steps:
1. Specify the correct `pkg.tmuxPlugins` package in `environment.systemPackages`
2. Adding to the configuration file to instantiate the plugin.
This commit allows the user to specify a list of plugins under `programs.tmux.plugins`.

This option behaves exactly like `boot.extraModprobeConfig`, except that it also includes the generated modprobe.d file in the initrd.
Many years ago, someone tried to include the normal modprobe.d/nixos.conf file generated by `boot.extraModprobeConfig` in the initrd: 0aa2c1dc46. This file contains a reference to a directory with firmware files inside. Including firmware in the initrd made it too big, so the commit was reverted again in 4a4c051a95.
The `boot.extraModprobeConfig` option not changing the initrd caused me much confusion because I tried to set the maximum cache size for ZFS and it didn't work.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/25456.
Now that the terraform 0.12 compatibility is not needed anymore, the
`terraform.withPlugins` and `terraform-providers.mkProvider`
implementations can be simplified.
Instead of building a bunch of bin wrappers on instantiation, the
providers are now stored in
`$out/libexec/terraform-providers/<registry>/<owner>/<name>/<version>/<os>_<arch>/terraform-provider-<name>_v<version>`
and then a simple `buildEnv` can be used to merge them.
This breaks back-compat so it's not possible to mix-and-match with
previous versions of nixpkgs. In exchange, it now becomes possible to
use the providers from
[nixpkgs-terraform-providers-bin](https://github.com/numtide/nixpkgs-terraform-providers-bin)
directly.

This replaces the naive K=V unit parser with a proper INI parser from a
library and adds proper support for override files. Also adds a bunch of
comments about parsing, I hope this makes it easier to understand and
maintain in the future.
There are multiple reasons to do so, the first one is just general
correctness with is nice imo. But to get to more serious reasons (I
didn't put in all that effort for nothing) is that this is the first
step torwards more clever restart/reload handling. By using a library
like Data::Compare a future PR could replace the current way of
fingerprinting units (which is to compare store paths) by comparing the
hashes. This is more precise because units won't get restarted because
the order of the options change, comments are added, some dependency of
writeText changes, .... Also this allows us to add a feature like
`X-Reload-Triggers` so the unit can either be reloaded when these change
or restarted when everything else changes, giving module authors the
ability to have their services reloaded without having to fear that
updates are not applied because the service doesn't get restarted.
Another reason why this feature is nice is that now that the unit files
are parsed correctly (and values are just extracted from one section),
potential future rewrites can just rely on some INI library without
having to implement their own weird parser that is compatible with this
script.
This also comes with a new subroutine to handle systemd booleans because
I thought the current way of handling it was just ugly. This also allows
overriding values this script reads in an override file.
Apart from making this script more compatible with the world around it,
this also fixes two issues I saw bugging exactly 0 (zero) people. First
is that this script now supports multiple override files, also ones that
are not called override.conf and the second one is that `1` and `on` are
treated as bools by systemd but were previously not parsed as such by
switch-to-configuration.
Since release 1.18.4, the ModemManager daemon no longer automatically
performs the FCC unlock procedure by default. The user must, under their
own responsibility, enable the automatic FCC unlock as shipped by
ModemManager.
`assert` has the annoying property that it dumps a lot of code at the
user without the built in capability to display a nicer message. We have
worked around this using `assertMsg` which would *additionally* display
a nice message. We can do even better: By using `throw` we can make
evaluation fail before assert draws its conclusions and prevent it from
displaying the code making up the assert condition, so we get the nicer
message of `throw` and the syntactical convenience of `assert`.
Before:
nix-repl> python.override { reproducibleBuild = true; stripBytecode = false; }
trace: Deterministic builds require stripping bytecode.
error: assertion (((lib).assertMsg (reproducibleBuild -> stripBytecode)) "Deterministic builds require stripping bytecode.") failed at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:45:1
After:
nix-repl> python.override { reproducibleBuild = true; stripBytecode = false; }
error: Deterministic builds require stripping bytecode.
The `extraConfig` parameter only handles text - it doesn't support
arbitrary secrets and, with the way it's processed in the setup
script, it's very easy to accidentally unescape the echoed string and
run shell commands / feed garbage to bash.
To fix this, implement a new option, `config`, which instead takes a
typed attribute set, generates the `.env` file in nix and does
arbitrary secret replacement. This option is then used to provide the
configuration for all other options which change the `.env` file.
When upgrading bookstack, if something in the cache conflicts with the
new installation, the artisan commands might fail. To solve this, make
the cache lifetime bound to the setup service. This also removes the
`cacheDir` option, since the path is now handled automatically by
systemd.
This removes `/run/nixos/activation-reload-list` (which we will need in
the future when reworking the reload logic) and makes
`/run/nixos/activation-restart-list` honor `restartIfChanged` and
`reloadIfChanged`. This way activation scripts don't have to bother with
choosing between reloading and restarting.
Still actively developed and yet stuck on python2. Also marked as
vulnerable and their issue tracker contains yet another security issue
reported in 2021/10 that the upstream hasn't acknowledged yet.
Mind blown.

We take the idris2 projects version of the derivation. Originally,
Idris2 did not maintain their own nix derivation, so we created our
own. Now they maintain their own derivation, so we should try to
keep ours as close to theirs.
This change comes with the following differences:
* support files are in its own output, instead of packaged with idris2
- This makes it necessary to provide --package for contrib and network
!!! This is a breaking change !!!
* IDIRS2_PREFIX is set to ~/.idris2 instead of pointing to nix-store
- This makes --install work as expected for the user
* Properly set IDRIS2_PACKAGE_PATH
* non-linux platform uses chez-racket instead of chez
This renames our `firmwareLinuxNonfree` package to `linux-firmware`.
There is prior art for this in multiple other distros[1][2][3].
Besides making the package more discoverable by those searching for the
usual name, this also brings it in-line with the `kebab-case` we
normally see in `nixpkgs` pnames, and removes the `Nonfree` information
from the name, which I consider redundant given it's present in
`meta.license`.
The corresponding alias has been added, so this shouldn't break
anything.

Previously we allocated subuids automatically for all normal users.
Make this explicitly configurable, so that one can use this for system
users too (or explicitly disable for normal users). Also don't allocate
automatically by default if a user already has ranges specified statically.
a few things should've used buildPackages/nativeBuildInputs to not not require
the host architecture for building docs. tested by building aarch64-linux docs
on x86_64-linux, and the result looks good.
this partially solves the problem of "missing description" warnings of the
options doc build being lost by nix build, at the cost of failing builds that
previously ran. an option to disable this behaviour is provided.
most modules can be evaluated for their documentation in a very
restricted environment that doesn't include all of nixpkgs. this
evaluation can then be cached and reused for subsequent builds, merging
only documentation that has changed into the cached set. since nixos
ships with a large number of modules of which only a few are used in any
given config this can save evaluation a huge percentage of nixos
options available in any given config.
in tests of this caching, despite having to copy most of nixos/, saves
about 80% of the time needed to build the system manual, or about two
second on the machine used for testing. build time for a full system
config shrank from 9.4s to 7.4s, while turning documentation off
entirely shortened the build to 7.1s.
Other services such as minecraft-server and plex allow configuration of
the dataDir option, allowing the files stored by each service to be in a
custom location.

Previously, this was only implicitly enabled if xserver.enable = true.
However, Wayland-based desktops do not require this, and so configuring
SSH_ASKPASS on a Wayland desktop becomes cumbersome. This simplifies
that by adding a new option that defaults to the old conditional.

The GTK+ 2 version of Claws Mail, major version number three, relies on
Python 2, which is end-of-life and might be dropped in the nixpkgs.
In favour of #148779, this older branch of Claws Mail was removed.
This reverts commit 57961d2b83, reversing
changes made to b04f913afc.
(I.e. this reverts PR #141192.)
While well-intended, this change does unfortunately introduce very
serious regressions that are especially disruptive/noticeable on desktop
systems (e.g. users of Sway will loose their graphical session when
running "nixos-rebuild switch").
Therefore, this change has to be reverted ASAP instead of trying to fix
it in "production".
Note: An updated version should be extensively discussed, reviewed, and
tested before re-landing this change as an earlier version also had to
be reverted for the exact same issues [0].

See the added comment in all-packages.nix for a more detailed
explanation. This makes the top-level GHC different from
haskellPackages.ghc (which is build->host and used for building the
package set), but more consistent with gcc, gnat etc.
Specifically, pkgsCross.${platform}.buildPackages.ghc will now be a
cross-compiler instead of a native build->build compiler.
Since this change has a slight chance of being disruptive, add a note to
the changelog.
Update the default GNAT version from 9 to 11, as GNAT >= 11 is required
to compile the 22.* AdaCore libraries.
To allow this, we need to pick a patch from ghdl's master fixing a
compilation problem with GNAT 11.
