- Replace hand-rolled version of nixos-install in make-disk-image by an
actual call to nixos-install
- Required a few cleanups of nixos-install
- nixos-install invokes an activation script which the hand-rolled version
in make-disk-image did not do. We remove /etc/machine-id as that's
a host-specific, impure, output of the activation script
Testing:
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' -A tests.installer.simple passes
Also tried generating an image with:
nix-build -E 'let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
lib = pkgs.lib;
nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> {
configuration = {
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "/dev/sda" ];
boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '"''"'
menuentry "Ubuntu" {
insmod ext2
search --set=root --label ubuntu
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
'"''"';
};
};
in import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix> {
inherit pkgs lib;
config = nixos.config;
diskSize = 2000;
partitioned = false;
installBootLoader = false;
}'
Then installed the image:
$ sudo df if=./result/nixos.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/nixos
$ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
$ sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo chroot /mnt /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
[ … optionally do something about passwords … ]
and successfully rebooted to that image.
Was doing all this from inside a Ubuntu VM with a single user nix install.
- Fix --no-bootloader which didn't do what it advertised
- Hardcode nixbld GID so that systems which do not have a nixbld user
can still run nixos-install (only with --closure since they can't
build anything)
- Cleanup: get rid of NIX_CONF_DIR(=/tmp)/nix.conf and pass arguments instead
- Cleanup: don't assume that the target system has '<nixpkgs/nixos>' or
'<nixos-config>' to see if config.users.mutableUsers. Instead check if
/var/setuid-wrappers/passwd is there
Installing NixOS now works from a Ubuntu host (using --closure).
nix-build -A tests.installer.simple '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' succeeds ✓
While useless, some builds may dabble with setuid bits (e.g.,
util-linux), which breaks under grsec. In the interest of user
friendliness, we once again compromise by disabling an otherwise useful
feature ...

It uses import-from-derivation, which is a bad thing, because this
causes hydra-evaluator to build Cassandra at evaluation time.
$ nix-instantiate nixos/release.nix -A tests.cassandra.i686-linux --dry-run
error: cannot read ‘/nix/store/c41blyjz6pfvk9fnvrn6miihq5w3j0l4-cassandra-2.0.16/conf/cassandra-env.sh’, since path ‘/nix/store/0j9ax4z8xhaz5lhrwl3bwj10waxs3hgy-cassandra-2.0.16.drv’ is not valid, at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/databases/cassandra.nix:373:11
Also, the module is a mess (bad option descriptions, poor indentation,
a gazillion options where a generic "config" option would suffice, it
opens ports in the firewall, it sets vm.swappiness, ...).
- Agent now takes a full URL to the Go.CD server
- Instruct the agent to attempt restart every 30s upon failure
- Test's Accept header did not match the server's expectation
- Replace the tests' complex Awk matches with calls to `jq`
Update gocd-agent package version to 16.6.0-3590 including new sha. Modify heapSize
and maxMemory mkOption to accurately reflect their intended purpose of configuring
initial java heap sizes.
Addresses #17218 in a better way in that it doesn't create a
".git-revision" file on every nixos-rebuild, because we already have
".git" available. Even if we don't nixos-rebuild can't create the
"git-revision" file.
Tested via:
nix-build -E '(import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix {
name = "foo";
machine = {};
testScript = "startAll; $machine->execute(\"nixos-version >&2\");";
})'
Closes: #17610

Let's first try if we can determine the Git revision from the .git
directory and if that fails, fall back to get the info from the
".git-revision" file... and after that use something generic like
"master".
This should address #17218 in better way, because we don't need to
create another redundant file in the source checkout of nixpkgs.
I'm not going to route of falling back to using .git, because after
55d881e, we already have ".git-revision" files in people's Git
repositories, which in turn means that nixos-version will report that
old file every time even if the working tree has updated.

Fixes: #17218
This reverts commit 1e534e234b.
We already should have a .git directory if it is managed via Git,
otherwise there is no way to get the Git revision if neither
.git-revision or .git is present.
But having .git-revision _and_ .git present seems very much redundant to
me.

Issue: #17218
The builder has this convoluted `while` loop which just replicates
`readlink -e`. I'm sure there was a reason at one point, because the
loop has been there since time immemorial. It kept getting copied
around, I suspect because nobody bothered to understand what it actually
did.
Incidentally, this fixes #17513, but I have no idea why.
From @fpletz: Keep poolConfigs option for backwards-compatibility.
The original commit 6b3f5b5a42 was previously
reverted by c7860cae1a but the issues were
resolved.
