When I test a change e.g. in the module system manually, I usually use
`nixos-build-vms(8)` which also gives me a QEMU window where I can play
around in the freshly built VM.
It seems as this has changed recently when the default package for
non-interactive VM tests using the same framework was switched to
`pkgs.qemu_test` to reduce the closure size. While this is a reasonable
decision for our CI tests, I think that you really want a QEMU window of
the VM by default when using `nixos-build-vms(8)`.

Instead of putting a README in the directory where the manual is
written, put the information from it straight in the docs themselves.
It's a bit untrivial to guess the manual is located exactly there for
contributers.
This should NOT be backported to 20.09!
When 21.03 is released, the DB changes are about a year old and
operators had two release cycles for the upgrade. At this point it
should be fair to remove the compat layer to reduce the complexity of
the module itself.
The `curve25519-sha256` key exchange method is defined in RFC 8731 that
is identical to curve25519-sha256@libssh.org. OpenSSH supports the
method since version 7.4, released on 2016-12-19. It is literally a
violation of the "both in Secure Secure Shell and Mozilla guidelines"
rule, but it provides essentially the same but a future-proof default.
Also, links to the Mozilla OpenSSH guidelines are updated to refer to
the current place.

In commit a61ca0373b (#100267), the avahi
test expression got an additional attribute, but instead of wrapping the
function, the attributes were introduced by nesting the function one
level deeper.
To illustrate this:
Before: attrs: <testdrv>
After: newattrs: attrs: <testdrv>
So when instantiating tests.avahi.x86_64-linux from nixos/release.nix we
get "value is a function while a set was expected" instead of the
derivation.
I simply re-passed the attributes to make-test-python.nix, since the
function already allows (via "...") arbitrary attributes to be passed.
The reason why I'm pushing this directly to master is because evaluation
for the test is already broken and the worst that could happen here is
that things are *still* broken.

For a lot of the work the non-interactive drivers are enough and it is
probably a good idea to keep it accessible for debugging without
touching the Nix expression.
Since we previously stripped down the features of `qemu_test` some of
the features users are used to while running tests through the (impure)
driver didn't work anymore. Most notably we lost support for graphical
output and audio. With this change the `driver` attribute uses are more
feature complete version of QEmu compared to the one used in the pure
Nix builds.
This gives us the best of both worlds. Users are able to see the
graphical windows of VMs while CI and regular nix builds do not have to
download all the (unnecessary) dependencies.
Removing the `Accept-Encoding` header breaks applications which may
produce already compressed content.
Removing this header is staded in the nginx docs but is ment as an
example, not as an recomendation.
This attribute is a generalized version of cryptHomeLuks for creating an
entry in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml. It lets the configuration
control all the attributes of the <volume> entry, instead of just the
path. The default path remains the value of cryptHomeLuks, for
compatibility.
This reverts commit 3cd2b59b8c.
It created infinite recursion when using LXQt, since lxqt module
uses `config.system.path` in `services.xserver.desktopManager.session`.
`config.system.path` is a `buildEnv` that depends on `environment.systemPackages`.

The old (slightly broken) behavior of the xmonad module was to put the vanilla xmonad binary into PATH. This was changed to put the users xmonad into PATH instead.
But since the config for the xmonad test uses `launch` (to avoid xmonads self-recompilation logic), it now can't handle the `--restart` flag anymore. So instead use a key binding for restarting, and let xmonad spawn a new xterm on restart.
The key binding has to be explicitly added because the default binding
will shell out to `xmonad --restart` and therefore not work with the `launch` entrypoint.
xserver uses the wrong version of xkbvalidate, the one from
buildPackages should be used or else the resulting xkbvalidate binary is
compiled for the target architecture.
Note that it made into 2 entries, one about new options in the first section.
Another in the breaking compatibility section due to the openFirewall option
which changes the behavior.
This changes the default behavior which opened by default the firewall rules.
The users now need to declare explicitely they want to open the firewall.
This exposes 2 scenario running the mediatomb service:
- one running with the unmaintained mediatomb package
- one running with the new maintained gerbera package
This also fixes some various small limitations:
- Drop unnecessary quoting
- Drop duplicated gerbera interface definition
- Fix configuration indentation
In the sense that the pkgs dependency will be pulled if the service is
transcoding enabled. Otherwise, the transcoding part is completely dropped from
the generated configuration.
Secrets are injected from the environment into the rendered
configuration before each startup using envsubst.
The test now makes use of this feature for the server password.
When using the ACME DNS-01 challenge, there is a possibility of a
failure to resolve the challenge if the record is not propagated
fast enough. To circumvent this generic DNS problem, this adds
a setting to explicitly tell the ACME provider to use a certain DNS
resolver to lookup the challenge.

This reverts commit fb6d63f3fd.
I really hope this finally fixes#99236: evaluation on Hydra.
This time I really did check basically the same commit on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1618011
Right now I don't have energy to find what exactly is wrong in the
commit, and it doesn't seem important in comparison to nixos-unstable
channel being stuck on a commit over one week old.
Please note that this is only for 21.03 since `nextcloud19` is intended
to be the default for the already feature-frozen 20.09 (the bump itself
is supposed to get backported however).
This should hopefully solve races with DNS servers (such as unbound)
during the activation of a new generation. Previously unbound could
still be unavailable and thus the acme script would fail.
