"master" is not a valid SHA-1 commit hash, and it's not even
necessarily the branch used. 'nixos-version --revision' now returns an
error if the commit hash is not known.
In 87a19e9048 I merged staging-next into master using the GitHub gui as intended.
In ac241fb7a5 I merged master into staging-next for the next staging cycle, however, I accidentally pushed it to master.
Thinking this may cause trouble, I reverted it in 0be87c7979. This was however wrong, as it "removed" master.
This reverts commit 0be87c7979.
I merged master into staging-next but accidentally pushed it to master.
This should get us back to 87a19e9048.
This reverts commit ac241fb7a5, reversing
changes made to 76a439239e.
Minor incompatibilities due to moving to upstream defaults:
- capabilities are used instead of systemd.socket units
- the control socket moved:
/run/kresd/control -> /run/knot-resolver/control/1
- cacheDir moved and isn't configurable anymore
- different user+group names, without static IDs
Thanks Mic92 for multiple ideas.
Before c9214c394b and
9d396d2e42 if .git is symlink the version
would gracefully default to no git revision. With those changes an
exception is thrown instead.
This introduces a new function `pathIsGitRepo` that checks if
`commitIdFromGitRepo` fails without error so we don't have to
reimplement this logic again and can fail gracefully.
lib.commitIdFromGitRepo now resolves the refs from the
parent repository in case the supplied path is a file
containing the path to said repository. this adds support
for git-worktree and things alike. see gitrepository-layout(5).
this also:
- adds a new boolean function lib.pathIsRegularFile to
check whether a path is a regular file
- patches lib.revisionWithDefault and
the revision and versionSuffix attributes in
config.system.nixos in order to support git-worktrees
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
Any system uid will do, so we let the system allocate
one for us. The 'mailman' group is gone entirely since
we don't need it. Users who wish to run the 'mailman'
administration utility can do so via 'sudo':
$ sudo -u mailman mailman info
Also, simplify the syntax of our user.users entry to
rely on an attribute set rather than a list.
Using "builtins.currentSystem" doesn't work in pure evaluation mode,
and even when it's explicitly set (which it always is, in
nixos/lib/eval-config.nix), it breaks manual generation because the
manual tries to render the default value.
It is referenced in various places, but does not work out of the box:
$ nixos-help
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-help: unable to start a web browser; please set $BROWSER
In the user-hidden fallbacks to xdg-open(1) and w3m(1), `nixos-help`
expects tools to be deliberately installed by users.
For default installations and new users in general, this is unlikely to
be the case. Conversely, chances to use `nixos-help` are even higher
in such cases.
Use w3m-nographics by default to ensure documentation is always
available. The documentation browser on ttyS8 already does so, but is
not accessible in every installation, e.g. VMs with only ttyS0 and SSH
available.
This obsoletes including it in the base profile's systemPackages,
so remove the @TODO as done.
The autoLuks module is not really compatible with the updated systemd
version anymore. We started dropping NixOS specific patches that caused
unwanted side effects that we had to work around otherwise.
This change points users towards the relevant PR and spits out a bit of
information on how to deal with the situation.
Remove the btsync module. Bittorrent Sync was renamed to Resilio Sync in
2016, which is supported by the resilio module. Since Resilio Sync had
some security updates since 2016, it is not safe to run Bittorrent Sync
anymore.
I was pointed towards a small syntax error in the `nixpkgs.overlays`
documentation. There was a trailing semicolon after the overlay
function.
I also aligned the code a bit better so opening and closing brackets can
be visually matched much better (IMO).
Before this change `man 5 configuration.nix` would only show options of modules in
the `baseModules` set, which consists only of the list of modules in
`nixos/modules/module-list.nix`
With this change applied and `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` option enabled
all modules included in `configuration.nix` file will be used instead.
This makes configurations with custom modules self-documenting. It also means
that importing non-`baseModules` modules like `gce.nix` or `azure.nix`
will make their documentation available in `man 5 configuration.nix`.
`documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` is currently set to `false` by
default as enabling it usually uncovers bugs and prevents evaluation.
It should be set to `true` in a release or two.
This was originally implemented in #47177, edited for more configurability,
documented and rebased onto master by @oxij.
This installs the kio "man:" protocol handler, which fixes the UNIX manual
section in the KDE Help Center.
Note that kde currently parses "/etc/man.conf" manually, if `$MANPATH` is not
set, to build its man page index. (if https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=404022
is addressed, the "/etc/man.conf" symlink should not be necessary anymore)
