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.
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.
Both Qt and GTK load plugins from the active profiles
automatically, so it is sufficient to install input methods
system-wide. Overriding the plugin paths may interfere with correct
operation of other plugins.
- Now `pkg.outputUnspecified = true` but this attribute is missing in
every output, so we can recognize whether the user chose or not.
If (s)he didn't choose, we put `pkg.bin or pkg.out or pkg` into
`systemPackages`.
- `outputsToLink` is replaced by `extraOutputsToLink`.
We add extra outputs *regardless* of whether the user chose anything.
It's mainly meant for outputs with docs and debug symbols.
- Note that as a result, some libraries will disappear from system path.
Set this option to 'true' (default: 'false') to enable extension mechanisms for
DNS (EDNS) in your local glibc resolver. This is required for supporting
DNSSEC, for example.
Implementation detail: the patch changes assignments to "resolv_conf_options"
to use "+=" instead of "=" to ensure that multiple users of that variable don't
overwrite each other. The generated config file is a shell script, after all,
so this should work fine.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/12470.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
Sadly, we can't instruct systemd to properly restart device-name.swap when this service restarts (or I haven't found the way to do so). As of now blindly restarting it would only get you a bunch of errors about device already used -- let's avoid it.
The kernel default for `link_power_management_policy` is `"max_performance"`.
This commit:
f169f60575
set the NixOS default to `"min_performance"`.
This issue (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/11276) details my long
journey to discover this after several file system failures incorrectly
attributed to `TRIM` and `NCQ` settings.
I think we should use the kernel default of `"max_performance"` to assure
the best experience for new users with SSDs and to conform to the defaults of
the kernel and other distros.
