also updates nixdoc to 2.3.0. the nixdoc update is not a separate commit
because that would leave the manual build broken for one commit,
potentially breaking bisects and rebases.
pandoc recognizes `::: note` admonitions, nixos-render-docs only
recognizes `::: {.note}`. surprisingly pandoc also emits the correct
docbook tags for `[](#xref)`s, so we can use that too.
skipping heading levels (eg from # to ###, or starting at ###) is legal
in pandoc, but not in nixos-render-docs. pandoc acts as though section
levels *were* consecutive, nixos-render-docs prefers to tell people not
to do that kind of thing because it can make documents more fragile.
without stable ids on headings we cannot generate stable links to these
headings. nrd complains about this, but the current docbook workflow
does not.
a few generated ids remain, mostly in examples and footnotes. most of
the examples are generated by nixdoc (which has since gained MD export
functions, and the MD export does generate IDs).
This is preferable because it prevents things like disk corruption (requiring the user to delete the disk image when starting up) that I consistently ran into.
The trailing `'` was included by mistake and is not supposed
to be there:
```ShellSession
$ base64 -w0 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub
c3NoLWVkMjU1MTkgQUFBQUMzTnphQzFsWkRJMU5URTVBQUFBSUpCV2N4Yi9CbGFxdDFhdU90RStGOFFVV3JVb3RpQzVxQkorVXVFV2RWQ2Igcm9vdEBuaXhvcwo=
```
The reason it did not cause issues before is because
Nix ignores everything after the `=`:
3dbf9b5af5/src/libutil/util.cc (L1539-L1540)
… so it's harmless but still worth fixing.
- Extensive documentation in NixOS manual
- Deterministic mode that fixes various identifiers relative to disk
partitions and filesystems in ext4 case
- UEFI variable recording
The nixpkgs manual contains references to both sri hash and explicit
sha256 attributes. This is at best confusing to new users. Since the
final destination is exclusive use of sri hashes, see nixos/rfcs#131,
might as well push new users in that direction gently.
Notable exceptions to sri hash support are builtins.fetchTarball,
cataclysm-dda, coq, dockerTools.pullimage, elixir.override, and
fetchCrate. None, other than builtins.fetchTarball, are fundamentally
incompatible, but all currently accept explicit sha256 attributes as
input. Because adding backwards compatibility is out of scope for this
change, they have been left intact, but migration to sri format has been
made for any using old hash formats.
All hashes have been manually tested to be accurate, and updates were
only made for missing upstream artefacts or bugs.
The `sparseCheckout` argument allows the user to specify directories or
patterns of files, which Git uses to filter files it should check-out.
Git expects a multi-line string on stdin ("newline-delimited list", see
`git-sparse-checkout(1)`), but within nixpkgs it is more consistent to
use a list of strings instead. The list elements are joined to a
multi-line string only before passing it to the builder script.
A deprecation warning is emitted if a (multi-line) string is passed to
`sparseCheckout`, but for the time being it is still accepted.
