Felix Singer b7a2309786 flashrom: Install udev-rules file 
Add the udev-rules file from flashrom source to the out directory. The
file contains rules for programmers used by flashrom. Members of the
`flashrom` system group are allowed to access these devices.

Also, add a module for installing flashrom and adding flashrom to udev
packages. The module can be used by setting `programs.flashrom.enable`
to `true`.

Raw Blame History

Release 21.11 (“?”, 2021.11/??)

In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:

  • Support is planned until the end of April 2022, handing over to 22.05.

Highlights

  • PHP now defaults to PHP 8.0, updated from 7.4.

New Services

Backward Incompatibilities

  • The staticjinja package has been upgraded from 1.0.4 to 2.0.0

  • services.geoip-updater was broken and has been replaced by services.geoipupdate.

  • PHP 7.3 is no longer supported due to upstream not supporting this version for the entire lifecycle of the 21.11 release.

  • Those making use of buildBazelPackage will need to regenerate the fetch hashes (preferred), or set fetchConfigured = false;.

  • consul was upgraded to a new major release with breaking changes, see upstream changelog.

  • fsharp41 has been removed in preference to use the latest dotnet-sdk

  • The antlr package now defaults to the 4.x release instead of the old 2.7.7 version.

  • The libwnck package now defaults to the 3.x release instead of the old 2.31.0 version.

Other Notable Changes

  • The setting services.openssh.logLevel "VERBOSE" "INFO". This brings NixOS in line with upstream and other Linux distributions, and reduces log spam on servers due to bruteforcing botnets.

    However, if services.fail2ban.enable is true, the fail2ban will override the verbosity to "VERBOSE", so that fail2ban can observe the failed login attempts from the SSH logs.

  • Sway: The terminal emulator rxvt-unicode is no longer installed by default via programs.sway.extraPackages. The current default configuration uses alacritty (and soon foot) so this is only an issue when using a customized configuration and not installing rxvt-unicode explicitly.
