conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
there are sufficiently few variable list around, and they are
sufficiently simple, that it doesn't seem helpful to add another
markdown extension for them. rendering differences are small, except in
the tor module: admonitions inside other blocks cannot be made to work
well with mistune (and likely most other markdown processors), so those
had to be shuffled a bit. we also lose paragraph breaks in the list
items due to how we have to render from markdown to docbook, but once we
remove docbook from the pipeline those paragraph breaks will be restored.
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.
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.
* make slurmd depend on network target to ensure basic networking
is available on startup. This fixes behaviour
where slurmd fails with "error: get_addr_info: getaddrinfo() failed".
* Use tmpfiles.d to ensure spool directory exists on start up.
some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
This adds a new internal option, services.slurm.etcSlurm such
that other modules can access slurm's config files. This is
needed, for example, when a service wants to run a slurm command.
Since slurm-20.11.0.1 the dbd server requires slurmdbd.conf to be
in mode 600 to protect the database password. This change creates
slurmdbd.conf on-the-fly at service startup and thus avoids that
the database password ends up in the nix store.
The v7 series is very different.
This commit introduces the 3 packages: fahclient, fahcontrol and
fahviewer. It also rebuilds the NixOS module to map better with the new
client.
Slurmdbd requires a password database which is stored in slurmdbd.conf.
A seperate config file avoids that the password ends up in the nix store.
Slurmdbd does 19.5 does not support MySQL socket conections.
Adapated the slurm test to provide username and password.
* Fix path in module for slurm to find plugstack.conf
* Fix configure flags so that slurm can be compiled
without internal X11 support (required for spank-x11).
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61321, local-fs.target is
part of sysinit.target again, meaning units without
DefaultDependencies=no will automatically depend on it, and the manual
set dependencies can be dropped.
The default of systemd is to kill the
the whole cgroup of a service. For slurmd
this means that all running jobs get killed
as well whenever the configuration is updated (and activated).
To avoid this behaviour we set "KillMode=process"
to kill only slurmd on reload. This is how
slurm configures the systemd service.

* run as user 'slurm' per default instead of root
* add user/group slurm to ids.nix
* fix default location for the state dir of slurmctld:
(/var/spool -> /var/spool/slurmctld)
* Update release notes with the above changes
* add freeipmi to get power meter readings
* readline support for scontrol
* libssh2 support for X11 supporta
* Add note to enableSrunX11 in module
* fix hwloc support (was detected by configure)
The nixos module adds a new derivation to
systemPackages to make sure that the binaries
get the generated config file. This derivation
did not contain the man pages so far.
Activating the module now makes the man pages
available in the system environment.
While BOINC itself is open source, many of the project applications
it runs are not. Additionally, these project applications are
checksummed before they are run, so they can't be patched. This
means we can't make the project applications find required binaries/libraries
on a NixOS system. The solution is therefore to make said binaries
and libraries appear in the expected locations, by wrapping BOINC
in an FHS-compatible environment [1].
An `extraEnvPackages` is also added to allow more packages to
be added into this environment. The documentation for this option
describes some practical use cases for it.
