From commit b63f65aea0dea11c20e9299210af1d2ee4299b58:
I used tmpfiles.d instead of activation snippets to create the logs.
It's good enough for upstream and other distros; it's probably good
enough for us.
The "reboot-wtmp" subtest fails because it it assumes that there is a
reboot record even on the initial boot. This is only the case if wtmp is
created within the activation script, but the implementation now uses
tmpfiles.d, so the creation of the file is done at a much later stage.
Apart from that, if you think about the state after the installation as
"first boot", using the term "reboot" wouldn't probably make sense
either.
So in our subtest, we now reboot the machine and check the wtmp record
afterwards as we did before.

This is necessary when system-wide dconf settings must be configured, i.e. to
disable GDM's auto-suspending of the machine when no user is logged in.
Related to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/42053.
I think pam_lastlog is the only thing that writes to these files in
practice on a modern Linux system, so in a configuration that doesn't
use that module, we don't need to create these files.

Nix 2.0 no longer uses these directories.
/run/nix/current-load was moved to /nix/var/nix/current-load in 2017
(Nix commit d7653dfc6dea076ecbe00520c6137977e0fced35). Anyway,
src/build-remote/build-remote.cc will create the current-load directory
if it doesn't exist already.
/run/nix/remote-stores seems to have been deprecated since 2014 (Nix
commit b1af336132cfe8a6e4c54912cc512f8c28d4ebf3) when the documentation
for $NIX_OTHER_STORES was removed, and support for it was dropped
entirely in 2016 (Nix commit 4494000e04122f24558e1436e66d20d89028b4bd).
The default value for journald's Storage option is "auto", which
determines whether to log to /var/log/journal based on whether that
directory already exists. So NixOS has been unconditionally creating
that directory in activation scripts.
However, we can get the same behavior by configuring journald.conf to
set Storage to "persistent" instead. In that case, journald will create
the directory itself if necessary.
Previously, the activation script was responsible for ensuring that
/etc/machine-id exists. However, the only time it could not already
exist is during stage-2-init, not while switching configurations,
because one of the first things systemd does when starting up as PID 1
is to create this file. So I've moved the initialization to
stage-2-init.
Furthermore, since systemd will do the equivalent of
systemd-machine-id-setup if /etc/machine-id doesn't have valid contents,
we don't need to do that ourselves.
We _do_, however, want to ensure that the file at least exists, because
systemd also uses the non-existence of this file to guess that this is a
first-boot situation. In that case, systemd tries to create some
symlinks in /etc/systemd/system according to its presets, which it can't
do because we've already populated /etc according to the current NixOS
configuration.
This is not necessary for any other activation script snippets, so it's
okay to do it after stage-2-init runs the activation script. None of
them declare a dependency on the "systemd" snippet. Also, most of them
only create files or directories in ways that obviously don't need the
machine-id set.
environment.sessionVariables cannot refer to the values of env vars,
and as a result this has caused problems in a variety of scenarios.
One use for these is that they're injected into /etc/profile,
elewhere these are used to populate an 'envfile' for pam
(`pam 5 pam_env.conf`) which mentions use of HOME being
potentially problematic.
Anyway if the goal is to make things easier for users,
simply do the NIX_PATH modification as extraInit.
This fixes the annoying problems generated by the current approach
(#40165 and others) while hopefully serving the original goal.
One way to check if things are borked is to try:
$ sudo env | grep NIX_PATH
Which (before this change) prints NIX_PATH variable with
an unexpanded $HOME in the value.
-------
This does mean the following won't contain user channels for 'will':
$ sudo -u will nix-instantiate --eval -E builtins.nixPath
However AFAICT currently they won't be present either,
due to unescaped $HOME. Unsure if similar situation for other users
of sessionVariables (not sudo) work with current situation
(if they exist they will regress after this change AFAIK).
Previously single quotes were used by default for aliases and the module
never warned about possible collisions when having a shell alias which
relies on single quotes.
Adding `escapeShellArg` works around this fixes the issue and ensures that a
properly quoted value is written to `/etc/zshrc`.
The socket activation I added to the rspamd module doesn't actually work
and can't be made to work without changes to rspamd.

Evaluation error introduced in 599c4df46a.
There is only a "platformS" attribute in kexectools.meta, so let's use
this and from the code in the kexec module it operates on a list,
matching the corresponding platforms, so this seems to be the attribute
the original author intended.
Tested by building nixos/tests/kexec.nix on x86_64-linux and while it
evaluates now, the test still fails by timing out shortly after the
kexec:
machine: waiting for the VM to finish booting
machine# Cannot find the ESP partition mount point.
This however seems to be an unrelated issue and was also the case before
the commit mentioned above.

Nix commands inside the container have been broken since 18.03,
and no fix is yet in sight. Lets remove from the documentation
that this is a usecase that we support, as it doesn't seem
likely that this will be fixed before 18.09 either.
See #40355
Changes the evaluation order in that it evaluates assertions before
warnings, so that eg. the following would work:
{ config, lib, ... }:
{
options.foo = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
default = true;
description = "...";
};
options.bar = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
default = false;
description = "...";
};
config = lib.mkMerge [
(lib.mkIf config.bar {
system.build.bar = "foobar";
})
(lib.mkIf config.foo {
assertions = lib.singleton {
assertion = config.bar;
message = "Bar needs to be enabled";
};
systemd.services.foo = {
description = "Foo";
serviceConfig.ExecStart = config.system.build.bar;
};
})
];
}
This is because the systemd module includes definitions for warnings
that would trigger evaluation of the config.system.build.bar definition.
The original pull request references a breakage due to the following:
{
services.nixosManual.enable = false;
services.nixosManual.showManual = true;
}
However, changing the eval order between asserts and warnings clearly is
a corner case here and it only happens because of the aforementioned
usage of warnings in the systemd module and needs more discussion.
Nevertheless, this is still useful because it lowers the evaluation time
whenever an assertion is hit, which is a hard failure anyway.
Introduced by 0f3b89bbed.
If services.nixosManual.showManual is enabled and
documentation.nixos.enable is not, there is no
config.system.build.manual available, so evaluation fails. For example
this is the case for the installer tests.
There is however an assertion which should catch exactly this, but it
isn't thrown because the usage of config.system.build.manual is
evaluated earlier than the assertions.
So I split the assertion off into a separate mkIf to make sure it is
shown appropriately and also fixed the installation-device profile to
enable documentation.nixos.

- Use socket-activated epmd - that way there won't be any trouble when
more than one erlang system is used within a single host.
- Use new automation-friendly configuration file format
- Use systemd notifications instead of buggy 'rabbitmqctl wait' for
confirming successful server startup.
'wait' bug: https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/463
- Use 'rabbitmqctl shutdown' instead of 'stop', because it's not
pid-file based
- Use sane systemd unit defaults from RabbitMQ repo:
https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/master/docs/rabbitmq-server.service.example
- Support for external plugins
