commit 0507725061 ("setup-hooks/strip.sh: run RANLIB on static
archives after stripping") added an extra argument to `stripDirs()`
helper.
I did not realize it's used outside the strip hook itself. Restore
stripping by passing $RANLIB as a new argument.
now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
Call dbus by using `$cur_systemd/busctl --json=...` and core modules
JSON::PP and IPC::Cmd to slim down dependencies for baseSystem.
perlPackages.NetDBus pulls in quite a few other dependencies, like
XML::Twig, LWP, and HTTP::Daemon. These are not really neccecary for
s-t-c, and some of them have caused issues particularly with cross
builds after updates to perlPackages.
make (almost) all links appear on only a single line, with no
unnecessary whitespace, using double quotes for attributes. this lets us
automatically convert them to markdown easily.
the few remaining links are extremely long link in a gnome module, we'll
come back to those at a later date.
we can't embed syntactic annotations of this kind in markdown code
blocks without yet another extension. replaceable is rare enough to make
this not much worth it, so we'll go with «thing» instead. the module
system already uses this format for its placeholder names in attrsOf
paths.
our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
Now the tool will only strip binaries if a strip executable is passed
via the STRIP environment variable. This is exposed via the strip
option for makeInitrdNG and the NixOS option boot.initrd.systemd.strip.
The systemd-coredump module required systemd to be built with
withCoredump=true, even if the module was disabled.
- allow systemd to be missing systemd-coredump if the module is disabled
- switch to mkDefault for the sysctl config to allow user overrides when
the module is disabled
- add nixos tests for both the enabled and disabled cases
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
