before:
- /var/run/memcached is a bad default for a socket path, since its
parent directory must be writeable by memcached.
- Socket directory was not created by the module itself -> this was
left as a burden to the user?
- Having a static uid with a dynamic user name is not very useful.
after:
- Replace services.memcached.socket by a boolean flag. This simplifies
our code, since we do not have to check if the user specifies a
path with a parent directory that should be owned by memcached
(/run/memcached/memcached.sock -> /run/memcached).
- Remove fixed uid/gid allocation. The only file ever owned by the
daemon is the socket that will be recreated on every start.
Therefore user and group ids do not need to be static.
- only create the memcached user, if the user has not specified a
different one. The major use case for changing option is to allow
existing services (such as php-fpm) opening the local unix socket.
If we would unconditionally create a user that option would be
useless.

Dollar signs in options under <option>services.postfix</option> are

|
passed verbatim to Postfix, which will interpret them as the beginning of
|
|
a parameter expression. This was already true for string-valued options
|
|
in the previous release, but not for list-valued options. If you need to

pass literal dollar signs through Postfix, double them.

The most commonly used files in <filename>nix-support</filename> are now split between the two wrappers.

Some commonly used ones, like <filename>nix-support/dynamic-linker</filename>, are duplicated for backwards compatability, even though they rightly belong only in <literal>bintools-wrapper</literal>.

Other more obscure ones are just moved.

The propagation logic has been changed.
|
|
The new logic, along with new types of dependencies that go with, is thoroughly documented in the "Specifying dependencies" section of the "Standard Environment" chapter of the nixpkgs manual.
|
|
<!-- That's <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-attributes"> were we to merge the manuals. -->
|
|
The old logic isn't but is easy to describe: dependencies were propagated as the same type of dependency no matter what.
|
|
In practice, that means that many <function>propagatedNativeBuildInputs</function> should instead be <function>propagatedBuildInputs</function>.
|
|
Thankfully, that was and is the least used type of dependency.
|
|
Also, it means that some <function>propagatedBuildInputs</function> should instead be <function>depsTargetTargetPropagated</function>.
|
|
Other types dependencies should be unaffected.
