1) Change start-type to ```notify``` when running MariaDB so that we don't have to busy-wait for the
socket to appear.
2) Do not manually create the directory under /run as we can get systemd to do
that for us. This opens up the possibility later for not having to launch as root.
Resolved the following conflicts (by carefully applying patches from the both
branches since the fork point):
pkgs/development/libraries/epoxy/default.nix
pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/3.x.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/asgiref/default.nix
pkgs/development/python-modules/daphne/default.nix
pkgs/os-specific/linux/systemd/default.nix
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.
Comparing packages via equality will lead to different results when package and module are from different
`nixpkgs` checkouts.
Also, because MariaDB is actually supported, added a note to option description to make this knowledge more discover-able.
`nixos-option` evals the description and the '`' is used to
define shell commands.
Due to this, the following error appears:
```
$ nixos-option services.postgresql.superUser
Value:
"root"
Default:
"root"
Description:
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: root: command not found
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-option: line 294: postgres: command not found
NixOS traditionally used as superuser, most other distros use .
From 17.09 we also try to follow this standard. Internal since changing this value
would lead to breakage while setting up databases.
```
postage is no longer maintained and has been replaced by the identical pgmanage. See:
https://github.com/workflowproducts/postage#postage-has-been-replaced-with-pgmanage
The following error is raised when a user enables the deprecated `services.postage.enable` option:
Failed assertions:
- services.postage is deprecated in favor of pgmanage. They have the same options so just substitute postage for pgmanage.
* postgresql service: make 9.6 the default version for 17.09
* postgresql service: change default superuser for 17.09
Change the default superuser from `root` to `postgres` for state
version 17.09
* postgresql service: change default data directory for 17.09
The new directory includes the schema version of the database.
This makes upgrades easier and is more consistent with other distros.
* updated nixos release notes
