This makes it easier to support a wider variety of .desktop session files. In
particular this makes it possible to use both the «legacy» sessions and upstream
session files.
We separate `xsession` into two parts, `xsessionWrapper` and `xsession`.
`xsessionWrapper` sets up the correct environment and then lauches the session's
Exec command (from the .desktop file), falling back to launching the default
window/desktopManager through the `xsession` script (required by at least some
nixos tests).
`xsession` then _only_ handles launching desktop-managers/window-managers defined
through `services.xserver.desktopManager.session`.
Pass gnome-session to extraSessionFilePackages, remove unnecessary environment variables, move the rest out of old session option, and then drop the option.
GPaste GNOME Shell extension uses GPaste library generated via introspection. Previously, we added the gpaste package to services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome3.sessionPath option, which
added its typelib directory to GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable globally, in order for GNOME Shell to be able to find it. This is not very Nix-y, though, so we have decided to patch the code to
append the path to the GI repository search path.
Additionally, the code relies on GPaste’s GSettings schemas, so we had to hard-code the paths to them as well. We ignored the GNOME Shell’s schemas, since they will already be available for the
extension inside GNOME Shell program.
Previously, the mkDesktops function produced a flat package containing
session files in the top level. As a preparation for introduction of
Wayland sessions, the files will now be placed to $out/share/xsessions.
It seems like Gitlab doesn't pick up GITLAB_UPLOADS_PATH. The internal uploads
folder is already symlinked to /run/gitlab/uploads by the gitlab package. Here
we symlink this further to ${statePath}/uploads, since /run is (usually) a tmpfs.
* The ELK stack is upgraded to 6.3.2.
* `elasticsearch6`, `logstash6` and `kibana6` now come with X-Pack which is
a suite of additional features. These are however licensed under the unfree
"Elastic License".
* Fortunately they also provide OSS versions which are now packaged
under: `elasticsearch6-oss`, `logstash6-oss` and `kibana6-oss`.
Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream.
* The test `nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6` will test the OSS
version by default. You can also run the test on the unfree ELK using:
`NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6 --arg enableUnfree true`
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.

Problem: Restarting (stopping) system.slice would not only stop X11 but
also most system units/services. We obviously don't want this happening
to users when they switch from 18.03 to 18.09 or nixos-unstable.
Reason: The following change in systemd:
d8e5a93382
The commit adds system.slice to the perpetual units, which means
removing the unit file and adding it to the source code. This is done so
that system.slice can't be stopped anymore but in our case it ironically
would cause this script to stop system.slice because the unit file was
removed (and an older systemd version is still running).

In 0c7c1660f7 I have set allowSubstitutes
to false, which avoided the substitution of the certificates.
Unfortunately substitution may still happen later when the certificate
is merged with the CA bundle. So the merged CA bundle might be
substituted from a binary cache but the certificate itself is built
locally, which could result in a different certificate in the bundle.
So instead of adding just yet another workaround, I've now hardcoded all
the certificates and keys in a separate file. This also moves
letsencrypt.nix into its own directory so we don't mess up
nixos/tests/common too much.
This was long overdue and should finally make the dependency graph for
the ACME test more deterministic.

Since e95f17e272, Go packages no longer
contain the source tree, however Boulder seems to need that as it
generates a few files during build.
Ideally we would only pick the files that are needed and put it into a
separate output, but I currently don't have time for this so I'm marking
this with XXX to get back to it later.

When running e.g. `nixos-option boot.kernelPackages` I get an output
like this on the current unstable channel (18.09pre144959.be1461fc0ab):
```
$ nixos-option boot.kernelPackages
Value:
*exit 1*
```
This is fairly counter-intuitive as I have no clue what might went
wrong. `strace` delivers an output like this:
```
read(3, "error: Package \342\200\230cryptodev-linu"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "ux/cryptodev/default.nix:22 is m"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "lowBroken = true; }\nin configura"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "you can add\n { allowBroken = tr"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "n)\n", 128) = 3
read(3, "", 128) = 0
```
`nixos-option` evaluates the system config using `nix-instantiate` which
might break when the evaluation fails (e.g. due to broken or unfree
packages that are prohibited to evaluate by default). The script aborts
due to the shebang `@shell@ -e`.
In order to ensure that no unexpected
behavior occurs due to removing `-e` from the interpreter the easiest
way to work around this was to wrap `nix-instantiate` in `evalNix()`
with a `set +e`. The function checks the success of the evaluation with
`$?` in the end. Additionally `evalNix` shouldn't break, if one
evaluation (e.g. the values that contain a package set by default) to
return additional information like a description.
With the change `nixos-option boot.kernelPackages` delivers the
following output for me:
```
Value:
error: Package ‘cryptodev-linux-1.9-4.14.52’ in /nix/store/47z2s8cwppymmgzw6n7pbcashikyk5jk-nixos/nixos/pkgs/os-specific/linux/cryptodev/default.nix:22 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

Description:
"This option allows you to override the Linux kernel used by\nNixOS. Since things like external kernel module packages are\ntied to the kernel you're using, it also overrides those.\nThis option is a function that takes Nixpkgs as an argument\n(as a convenience), and returns an attribute set containing at\nthe very least an attribute <varname>kernel</varname>.\nAdditional attributes may be needed depending on your\nconfiguration. For instance, if you use the NVIDIA X driver,\nthen it also needs to contain an attribute\n<varname>nvidia_x11</varname>.\n"

* nixos/virtualbox: Adds more options to virtualbox-image.nix
Previously you could only set the size of the disk.
This change adds the ability to change the amount of memory
that the image gets, along with the name / derivation name /
file name for the VM.
* Incorporates some review feedback
Since IP address options were changed for 18.03, eval has failed with:
"The option `networking.interfaces.eth1.subnetMask' is used but not defined."
although this option is not used at all in nixos anymore.
The misleading error message seems to be generated from evaluating warnings
for `mkRemovedOptionModule ["subnetMask"]` which apparently broke here
when this test inherited network.interfaces from one VM config to another.
