since we want to move away from docbook and having docbook manpages
around is going to block further progress we have to translate the
current nixos manpages from docbook it *something* else. mdoc seems the
most appropriate choice since markdown can't represent all the things
manpages can differentiate with even more extensions. if we ever need
html manpages we can render them using troff, like many of the online
manpage viewers, or rewrite them again. since we haven't had html
manpages for any of these in many years that seems unlikely to happen.
unlike most of the recent markdown conversions this comes with a lot of
minor rendering changes, mostly in spacing. docbook-xslt creates manual
pages in a very different dialect than mdoc (which is used here).
As announced in the NixOS 22.11 release notes, 23.05 will switch NixOS
to using nsncd (a non-caching reimplementation in Rust) as NSS lookup
dispatcher, instead of the buggy and deprecated glibc-provided nscd.
If you need to switch back, set `services.nscd.enableNsncd = false`, but
please open an issue in nixpkgs so your issue can be fixed.
...for explicitly named network interfaces
This reverts commit 6ae3e7695e.
(and evaluation fixups 08d26bbb727aed90a969)
Some of the tests fail or time out after the merge.
Wordpress bundles some non-essential plugins and themes, then pesters
users to upgrade them. As we make the whole webroot readonly, it is
not possible to trivially delete them. Instead we should have users
explicitly install plugins via the existing nixos module.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
In an effort to better encode version strings and use descriptive pnames
that do not conflict with top level pkgs, we currently use
wordpress-${type}-${pname} for pname. This is good for the nix store,
but when we synthesize the wordpress derivation in our module, we reuse
this pname for the output directory.
Internally wordpress can handle this fine, since plugins must register
via php, not directory. Unfortunately, many plugins like civicrm and
wpforms-lite are designed to rely upon the name of their install
directory for homing or discovery.
As such, we should follow both the upstream convention and
services.nextcloud.extraApps and use an attribute set for these options.
This allows us to not have to deal with the implementation details of
plugins and themes, which differ from official and third party, but also
give users the option to override the install location. The only issue
is that it breaks the current api.
`shell_interact()` is currently not nice to use. If you try to cancel
the socat process, it will also break the nixos test. Furthermore
ptpython creates it's own terminal that subprocesses are running in,
which breaks some of the terminal features of socat.
Hence this commit extends `shell_interact` to allow also to connect to
arbitrary servers i.e. tcp servers started by socat.
as far as we can tell nixos has only ever had a total of one olink, and
currently has no olinks at all. we can't currently represent olinks in
markdown docs, and if we re-add support for cross-document links they
will take a different form (and not use docbook, which will have to be
phased out before we re-add anything).
the olinkdb is thus unused and takes 10 seconds on our machine to build,
holding up the rest of the manual for no benefit.
Without this commit, unsetting any of the `services.kubo.settings` options does not reset the value back to the default. This commit gets rid of this statefulness.
This is achieved by generating the default config, applying the user specified config options to it and then patching the `Identity` and `Pinning` config options from the old config back in. This new config is then applied using `ipfs config replace`.
The only remaining stateful parts of the config are the `Identity` and `Pinning.RemoteServices` settings as those can't be changed with `ipfs config replace`. `Pinning.RemoteServices` also contains secrets that shouldn't be in the Nix store. Setting these options wasn't possible before as it would result in an error when the daemon tried to start. I added some assertions to guard against this case.
Trivial conflict in release notes, except that the xml/docbook parts
are horrible for (semi-)automatic conflict resolution.
Fortunately that's generated anyway.
Adds a new option to the virtualisation modules that enables specifying
explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing
`virtualisation.vlans` is still supported for cases where the name of
the network interface is irrelevant.
