This introduces an option that allows us to turn off stateful generation
of Diffie-Hellman parameters, which in some way is still "stateful" as
the generated DH params file is non-deterministic.
However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for
failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is
done during build-time.
Aside from adding a NixOS VM test it also restructures the type of the
security.dhparams.params option, so that it's a submodule.
A new defaultBitSize option is also there to allow users to set a
system-wide default.
I added a release notes entry that described what has changed and also
included a few notes for module developers using this module, as the
first usage already popped up in NixOS/nixpkgs#39507.
Thanks to @Ekleog and @abbradar for reviewing.
This is not only to make users aware of the changes but also to give a
heads up to developers which are using the module. Specifically if they
rely on security.dhparams.path only.

The following changes have been applied:
- the property `http.headers.X-Content-Type-Options` must a list of
strings rather than a serialized list
- instead of `/etc/docker/registry/config.yml` the configuration will be
written with `pkgs.writeText` and the store path will be used to run
the registry. This reduces the risk of possible impurities by relying
on the Nix store only.
- cleaned up the property paths to easy readability and reduce the
verbosity.
- enhanced the testcase to ensure that digests can be deleted as well
- the `services.docker-registry.extraConfig` object will be merged with
`registryConfig`

As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745
the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to
`nixos/version` which implicates the following changes:
* `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release`
* `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix`
* `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version`
As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`,
`NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause
a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with
a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
- mkfs.fat needs `-n` to set a partition label, not `-L`.
- create /mnt/boot before mounting
- leave out detailed LVM example as advanced users already how to create
LVs while it is detracting for novices.
Re #38674
The `clementine` package is actually released under Apache license, but
requires the unfree `libspotify` package to build.
Now `nixpkgs.clementine` points to the free derivation and
`nixpkgs.clementineUnfree` has been introduced for the package bundled
with spotify support.
Fixes #38315
- `localSystem` is added, it strictly supercedes system
- `crossSystem`'s description mentions `localSystem` (and vice versa).
- No more weird special casing I don't even understand
TEMP
- Rectifies diverging CSS by combining
nixos/nixpkgs docs CSS
- Moves our custom Highlight.js loader in to
the hljs package
- Switches the nixos docs to use SVG
callouts too
The original idea behind this change (described in ticket #11064) was to
improve the assertions to avoid that users of the X server accidentally
forget to configure a DM or WM.
However this caused several issues with setups that require X, but no DM
or WM. The keymap testcases became instable as well as now disabling DMs
needs to be done explicitly.
(see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31268#issuecomment-347080036)
In the end the idea behind the change and #11064 was obviously a
mistake, so reverting it completely for now should be fine.
I was mainly considering Jellyfish and Jaguar (and Jackrabbit).
Originally I was inclined for Jellyfish, but then I thought of the
release T-shirts someone makes and it didn't seem suitable...
Jaguar would keep the name referring to a car as well, but as a
not-too-old (Mac) OS version is codenamed that way, I didn't go for it.
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

Hm, this is not really the intended use of stateVersion. From the description:
Every once in a while, a new NixOS release may change
configuration defaults in a way incompatible with stateful
data. For instance, if the default version of PostgreSQL
changes, the new version will probably be unable to read your
existing databases. To prevent such breakage, you can set the
value of this option to the NixOS release with which you want
to be compatible. The effect is that NixOS will option
defaults corresponding to the specified release (such as using
an older version of PostgreSQL).
So this is only intended for options that have some corresponding on-disk state. AFAICT this is not the case for sound. In any case stateVersion is a necessary evil that only exists because we can't just upgrade Postgres databases or change SSH host keys. It's not necessary for things like whether sound is enabled. (If the user discovers that sound is suddenly disabled, they can just enable it.)
I had some vague recollection that we also had a configVersion option setting to control the defaults for non-state-related options, but I can't find it so maybe it was only discussed.
This adds some documentation about importing modules external to
Nixpkgs, which provides context for documenting
NIXOS_EXTRA_MODULE_PATH.
Closes #30376
This allows one to specify "related packages" in NixOS that get rendered into
the configuration.nix(5) man page. The interface philosophy is pretty much
stolen from TeX bibliography.
See the next several commits for examples.
