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.
This reverts commit 42eebd7ade, reversing
changes made to b169bfc9e2.
This breaks nfs3.simple test and even current PR #97656 wouldn't fix it.
Therefore let's revert for now to unblock the channels.
Currently the `rpc-gssd.service` has a `ConditionPathExists` clause that can
never be met, because it's looking for stateful data inside `/nix/store`.
`auth-rpcgss-module.service` also only starts if this file exists.
FixesNixOS/nixpkgs#29509.
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
