Dropbear lags behind OpenSSH significantly in both support for modern
key formats like `ssh-ed25519`, let alone the recently-introduced
U2F/FIDO2-based `sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com` (as I found when I switched
my `authorizedKeys` over to it and promptly locked myself out of my
server's initrd SSH, breaking reboots), as well as security features
like multiprocess isolation. Using the same SSH daemon for stage-1 and
the main system ensures key formats will always remain compatible, as
well as more conveniently allowing the sharing of configuration and
host keys.
The main reason to use Dropbear over OpenSSH would be initrd space
concerns, but NixOS initrds are already large (17 MiB currently on my
server), and the size difference between the two isn't huge (the test's
initrd goes from 9.7 MiB to 12 MiB with this change). If the size is
still a problem, then it would be easy to shrink sshd down to a few
hundred kilobytes by using an initrd-specific build that uses musl and
disables things like Kerberos support.
This passes the test and works on my server, but more rigorous testing
and review from people who use initrd SSH would be appreciated!
This mirrors the behaviour of systemd - It's udev that parses `.link`
files, not `systemd-networkd`.
This was originally applied in 36ef112a47,
but was reverted due to 1115959a8d causing
evaluation errors on hydra.
* Linkify all service options used in the code-examples.
* Demonstrated the use of `riot-web.override {}`.
* Moved the example how to configure a postgresql-database for
`matrix-synapse` to this document from the 20.03 release-notes.
...even when networkd is disabled
This reverts commit ce78f3ac70, reversing
changes made to dc34da0755.
I'm sorry; Hydra has been unable to evaluate, always returning
> error: unexpected EOF reading a line
and I've been unable to reproduce the problem locally. Bisecting
pointed to this merge, but I still can't see what exactly was wrong.
On servers especially, phantomjs2 pulls graphical dependencies which is unecessary.
This pathes enable the package to be linked/installed without
phantomjs2. Phantomjs2 is disabled by default since it has been deprecated in grafana https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/guides/whats-new-in-v6-4/
In 0945178b3c we decided that Perl-based
VM tests should be deprecated and will be removed between 20.03 and
20.09. So let's switch `nixos-build-vms(8)` to python as well (which is
entirely interactive, so other scripts won't break).
In my experience, the test-driver isn't used most of the time, so this
patch is mainly supposed to get rid of the (probably misleading)
deprecation warning when running `nixos-build-vms`. Apart from that, the
interface for python's test-driver is way nicer.
XML error introduced with merge commit 4e0fea3fe2.
This was probably because of wrong conflict resolution, because the
actual change (d8e697b4fc) had the close
tag of the <para/> element, but the merge commit didn't.

Package is marked as broken for >2 years and used a fairly old
snapshot from the gcc7-branch, so I fairly doubt that this is
somewhere used (and is also pretty misleading as you don't expect a
random snapshot from gcc7 at `pkgs.gcc-snapshot`).
There are no new releases of sqldeveloper v17/v18 and I don't think that
we should keep obviously unmaintained software that interacts with
database systems.
I removed `sqldeveloper_18` and `pkgs.sqldeveloper` now points to
version 19.4. Unfortunately I had to drop darwin support as JavaFX is
required for 19.4 which is part of the `oraclejdk` which isn't packaged
for darwin yet.
For further information please refer to the release notes:

This module allows root autoLogin, so we would break that for users, but
they shouldn't be using it anyways. This gives the impression like auto
is some special display manager, when it's just lightdm and special pam
rules to allow root autoLogin. It was created for NixOS's testing
so I believe this is where it belongs.
Will be unsupported within the lifespan of 20.03. Also there aren't any
known issues that require this version as workaround, so a removal
should be fairly safe.
As of 2020-01-09, way-cooler is officially dead:

Deperecates the interfaces option which was used to generate a host:port
list whereas the port was always hardcoded to 53. This unifies the
listen configuration for plain and TLS sockets and allows to specify a
port without an address for wildcard binds.
This makes ~2.5x speed up of an empty container instantiate, hence reduces
rebuild time of system with many declarative containers.
Note that this doesn't affect production systems much, becaseu those most
likely already include `minimal.nix` profile.
The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/75075.
To summarize the report in the aforementioned issue, at a glance,
it's a different default than what upstream polkit has. Apparently
for 8+ years polkit defaults admin identities as members of
the wheel group [0]. This assumption would be appropriate on NixOS, where
every member of group 'wheel' is necessarily privileged.

This cuts down the dependency tree on some rust builds where a crate not
just exposes a binary but also a library. `$out/lib` contained a bunch
of extra support files that among other information carry linker flags
(including the full path to link-time dependencies). Worst case this led
to some binary outputs depending on the full build closure of rust
crates.
Moving all the `$out/lib` files to `$lib/lib` solves this nicely.
`lib` might be a bit weird here as they are most of the time just rlib
files (rust libraries). Those are essential only required during
compilation but they can also be shared objects (like with traditional
C-style packages). Which is why I went with `lib` for the new output.
One of the caveats we are running into here is that we do not (always)
know ahead of time of a crate produces just a library or just a binary.
Cargo allows for some ambiguity regarding whether or not a crate
provides one, two, … binaries and libraries as it's outputs. Ideally we
would be able to rely on the `crateType` entirely but so far that isn't
the case. More work on that area might show how difficult that actually
is.
This is a more sane default since we do not magically (without opt-in)
pull in binaries from `~/bin`. That is not really an expected behavior
for many users. Users that still want that behavior can now just flip
that switch.
osquery was marked as broken since April.
If somebody steps up to fix it, we can always revive it from the
histroy, but there's not much value in shipping completely broken things
in current master.
