This commit fixes a papercut in nixos-rebuild where people wanting to
switch to a specialisation (or test one) were forced to manually figure
out the specialisation's path and run its activation script - since now,
there's a dedicated option to do just that.
This is a backwards-compatible change which doesn't affect the existing
behavior, which - to be fair - might still be considered sus by some
people, the painful scenario here being:
- you boot into specialisation `foo`,
- you run `nixos-rebuild switch`,
- whoops, you're no longer at specialisation `foo`, but you're rather
brought back to the base system.
(it's especially painful for cases where specialisation is used to load
extra drivers, e.g. Nvidia, since then launching `nixos-rebuild switch`,
while forgetting that you're inside a specialisation, can cause some
parts of your system to get accidentally unloaded.)
I've tried to mitigate that by improving specialisations so that they
create a dedicated file somewhere in `/run/current-system` containing
the specialisation's name (which `nixos-rebuild` could then use as the
default value for `--specialisation`), but I haven't been able to come
up with anything working (plus it would be a breaking change then).

* Will make it so that GHC.Paths's docdir NIX_GHC_DOCDIR points to an
actual directory.
* Documentation of all packages in the environment is available in
`$out/share/doc`.
This has previously been attempted in #76842 and reverted in #77442,
since documentation can collide when the libraries wouldn't (thanks to
the hash in the lib filename). `symlinkJoin` allows collision, so this
solution should be akin to #77523 (minus `buildEnv`, one step at a
time). `installDocumentation = false` restores the old behavior.
Collision in the documentation only happen if the dependency closure of
the given packages has more than one different derivation for the same
library of the very same version. I'm personally inclined not to claim
that our infrastructure does anything sensible in this case.
Additionally, the documentation is likely largely the same in such
cases (unless it is heavily patched).
Resolves#150666.
Resolves#76837.
Closes#150968.
Closes#77523.
This is a followup of #148921, to allow local builds when
`--target-host` is used again. It also documents the change in
behavior, regarding the specialty of the `localhost` value.
By removing the special handling of an empty `buildHost` and non empty
`targetHost`, this change also slightly alters the behavior of
`nixos-rebuild`.
Originally by specifying `--target-host target --build-host ""`, the
now removed special case would transform those arguments to
`--target-host target --build-host target`.
Now the empty `--build-host` would result in a local build.
Added the RFC42-style added the posibility to use
`services.dokuwiki.sites.<name>.settings' instead of passing a plain
string to `<name>.extraConfig`. ´<name>.pluginsConfig` now also accepts
structured configuration.
There should be no reason to use this package as it's a remnant of
non-modular X. Chances are you do not want every single library it
used to pull in:
freetype fontconfig xorg.xorgproto xorg.libX11 xorg.libXt
xorg.libXft xorg.libXext xorg.libSM xorg.libICE
Just pick the ones you really need instead.
`nixpkgs` does not have any users of `xlibsWrapper`.

- Extensive documentation in NixOS manual
- Deterministic mode that fixes various identifiers relative to disk
partitions and filesystems in ext4 case
- UEFI variable recording
This commit upgrades headscale to the newest version, 0.17.0 and updates
the module with the current breaking config changes.
In addition, the module is rewritten to conform with RFC0042 to try to
prevent some drift between the module and the upstream.
A new maintainer, Misterio77, is added as maintainer.

* minio: add legacy fs version 2022-10-24T18-35-07Z
This allows users to migrate their data to versions that already removed
support for the legacy fs backend.
* Update nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2305.section.md

Make "$out" more conformant to the bin/ lib/ share/ hirarchy
instead of messing up the user profile
with stuff like cmake/ config/ macros/ icons/ js/ tutorials/ ...
In this layout,
* `tutorials` is now under `share/doc/ROOT/tutorial`
* `cmake`, `font`, `icons`, `js` and `macro` is now under `share/root`
* `Makefile.comp` and `Makefile.config` in now under `etc/root`.
Avoids confusion: `vim-full`'s build-time features are configurable, but both
`vim` and `vim-full` are *customizable* (in the sense of user configuration).
Adds a new option for backup jobs `inhibitsSleep` which prevents
the system from going to sleep while a backup is in progress.
Uses `systemd-inhibit`, which holds a "lock" that prevents the
system from sleeping while the process it invokes is running.
This did require wrapping the existing backup script using
`writeShellScript` so that it could be run by `systemd-inhibit`.
When using the declarative shared folder configuration for resilio sync
it is now possible to pass a path from which to read the secret should
be read at runtime. The path will not be added to the nix store.
The 'secret' parameter to specify the secret directly is still
supported. This option will still store the secret in the nix store.
This commit follows the pattern described in this issue, for upstream
programs that do not provide support for setting a password using a
file: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/24288
The placement of this option under `nix` was misleading, as it is not
configuration of the Nix daemon, but rather configuration of the NixOS
boot process and how it mounts the Nix store. As such, make it an option
of `boot` to clarify what it actually affects, and imply that it will
only take effect on a reboot.
Since it no longer has the context of nix, adjust the name to include
it.
This also removes automatic enablement/mounting of instance store swap
devices and ext3 filesystems. This behaviour is strongly opinionated
and shouldn't be enabled by default.
The unionfs behaviour never took effect anyway, because the AMI
manifest path only exists for instance store-backed AMIs, which have
not been supported by nixpkgs since
84742e2293 (2019).
