Oversight of #133166
- boost 167 removed on staging-next (7915d1e03f) × boost attributes are inherited on staging (d20aa4955d)
- linux kernels were moved to linux-kernels.nix on staging-next (c62f911507) × hardened kernels are versioned on staging (a5341beb78) + removed linux_5_12 (e55554491d)
- conflict in node-packages – I regenerated it using node2nix from nixos-unstable (does not build on staging)
The main goal of this commit is to replace the rather fragile passing of
multiple arrays which could break in cases like #130935.
While I could have just added proper shell escaping to the variables
being passed, I opted for the more painful approach of replacing the
fragile and somewhat strange construct with the 5 bash lists. While
there are currently no more problems present with the current approach
(at least none that I know of), the new approach seems more solid and
might get around problems that could arise in the future stemming from
either the multiple-lists situation or from the absence of proper shell
quoting all over the script.
systemd-coredump tries to drop privileges to a systemd-coredump user if
present (and falls back to the root user if it's not available).
Create that user, and recycle uid 151 for it. We don't really care about
the gid.

- The order of NSS (host) modules has been brought in line with upstream
recommendations:
- The `myhostname` module is placed before the `resolve` (optional) and `dns`
entries, but after `file` (to allow overriding via `/etc/hosts` /
`networking.extraHosts`, and prevent ISPs with catchall-DNS resolvers from
hijacking `.localhost` domains)
- The `mymachines` module, which provides hostname resolution for local
containers (registered with `systemd-machined`) is placed to the front, to
make sure its mappings are preferred over other resolvers.
- If systemd-networkd is enabled, the `resolve` module is placed before
`files` and `myhostname`, as it provides the same logic internally, with
caching.
- The `mdns(_minimal)` module has been updated to the new priorities.
If you use your own NSS host modules, make sure to update your priorities
according to these rules:
- NSS modules which should be queried before `resolved` DNS resolution should
use mkBefore.
- NSS modules which should be queried after `resolved`, `files` and
`myhostname`, but before `dns` should use the default priority
- NSS modules which should come after `dns` should use mkAfter.
binfmt activation script creates /run/binfmt before mounting /run
when system activation.
To fix it I added dependency to specialfs to binfmt activation
script.
os.readlink only resolves one layer of symlinks. This script explicitly relies on the real path of a file for deduplication, hence symlink resolution should recurse.
Previously the code took the kernelPatches of the final derivation, which
might or might not be what was passed to the derivation in the original call.
The previous behaviour caused various hacks to become neccessary to avoid duplicates in kernelPatches.
`systemd.network.networks.*.dhcpServerConfig` did not accept all of
the options which are valid for networkd's [DHCPServer] section. See
systemd.network(5) of systemd 247 for details.
Since 03eaa48 added perl.withPackages, there is a canonical way to
create a perl interpreter from a list of libraries, for use in script
shebangs or generic build inputs. This method is declarative (what we
are doing is clear), produces short shebangs[1] and needs not to wrap
existing scripts.
Unfortunately there are a few exceptions that I've found:
1. Scripts that are calling perl with the -T switch. This makes perl
ignore PERL5LIB, which is what perl.withPackages is using to inform
the interpreter of the library paths.
2. Perl packages that depends on libraries in their own path. This
is not possible because perl.withPackages works at build time. The
workaround is to add `-I $out/${perl.libPrefix}` to the shebang.
In all other cases I propose to switch to perl.withPackages.
