There are a number of hidden restrictions on the syslinux
configuration file that come into play when UNetbootin
compatiblity is desired. With this commit these are documented.
This changes the bootloader for iso generation from Grub to
syslinux. In addition this adds USB booting support, so that
"dd" can be used to burn the generated ISO to USB thumbdrives
instead of needing applications like UnetBootin.
The group is specified using a singleton list, so the loaOf merging is
done by iterating through the list items with imap, so it enumerates
every element and sets that as the default "name" attribute.
From lib/types:143:
name = elem.name or "unnamed-${toString defIdx}.${toString elemIdx}";
So, people get groups like "unnamed-X.Y" instead of "mpd".

Fixes the useless collisions in the system path.
The 64bit and 32bit variants have the same files, hence
it's pointless to put the 32bit pulseaudio in systemPackages.
The nixbld group doesn't need read permission, it only needs write and
execute permission.

Rather than using openssl to hash the password at build time, and hence
leaving the plaintext password world-readable in the nix store, we can
instead hash the password in the nix expression itself using
builtins.hashString.
This patch resolves all uid/gid conflicts except for nobody/nogroup (seems
to make sense that these are the same).
All conflicts where determined mechanically, but resolutions were manual.
This patch also marks uids/gids with no corresponding group/user as "unused"
(aka. reserved).
Briefly,
- tss group conflicts with dhcpcd
The tss group id conflicts with dhcpcd: assign
a new number and add a corresponding tss user.
- elasticsearch uid conflicts with haproxy gid
- resolve firebird/munin conflict
- fix fourstorehttp{,d} typo
- fix ghostOne typo: the service module refers to gids.ghostone, so use that
in ids
- memcached uid conflicts with users gid
- nagios uid conflicts with disks gid
- nscd uid conflicts with wheel gid
- ntp uid conflicts with tty gid
- resolve postfix/postdrop id uid
- redis uid conflicts with keys gid
- sshd uid conflicts with kmem gid
- tcryptd uid conflicts with openldap gid
- unifi uid conflicts with docker gid
- uptimed uid conflicts with utmp gid
- zope2 uid conflicts with connman gid
- tomcat uid/gid mismatch
With the new evaluation of arguments, pkgs is now defined by the
configuration, which implies that option declaration with pkgs.lib
will cause an infinite loop.
This allows for module arguments to be handled modularly, in particular
allowing the nixpkgs module to handle the nixpkgs import internally.
This creates the __internal option namespace, which should only be added
to by the module system itself.
- forgotten mousepad update, including some wrapping magic
- dealing with panel plugins (either fix or mark as broken)
CC maintainer @AndersonTorres.
- remove some libxfcegui4 occurrences, as it's being phased out
- minor stuff
By making askPassword an option, desktop environment modules can
override the default x11_ssh_askpassword with their own equivalent for
better integration. For example, KDE 5 uses plasma5.ksshaskpass instead.
Major changes
- Port to systemd timers: for each archive configuration is created a
tarsnap@archive-name.timer which triggers the instanced service unit
- Rename the `config` option to `archives`
Minor/superficial improvements
- Restrict tarsnap service capabilities
- Use dirOf builtin
- Set executable bit for owner of tarsnap cache directory
- Set IOSchedulingClass to idle
- Humanize numbers when printing stats
- Rewrite most option descriptions
- Simplify assertion
Since we restart all active target units (of which there are many),
it's hard to see the units that actually matter. So don't print that
we're starting target units that are already active.
‘nixos-rebuild dry-activate’ builds the new configuration and then
prints what systemd services would be stopped, restarted etc. if the
configuration were actually activated. This could be extended later to
show other activation actions (like uids being deleted).
To prevent confusion, ‘nixos-rebuild dry-run’ has been renamed to
‘nixos-rebuild dry-build’.
