these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
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.
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.
The module option type `nonEmptyStr` was introduced in commit
a3c5f0cba8
The hylafax module previously simply used
`addCheck str (s: s!="")` to prevent empty option strings,
but the new type is more thorough as
it also catches space-only strings.
Also document that `ProtectClock` blocks access to serial line.
I couldn't found out why this is the case,
but faxgetty complains about the device file
not being accessible with `ProtectClock=true`.
According to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/84556
this effort helps with cross-compilation.
This commit also renames a substituted variable `hylafax`
to `hylafaxplus` to permit substitution with `inherit`.
The manpage claims that the "limit" in the setting::
<name>:[<limit>:]<regex>
is optional and defaults to zero, implying no limit.
However, tests confirmed that it actually isn't optional.
Without limit, the setting ``any:.*`` places
outbound jobs on infinite hold if no particular
modem was specified on the sendfax command line.
The new default value ``any:0:.*`` from
this commit uses any available modem to
send jobs if not modem was given to sendfax.
This commit adds the following
* the uucp user
* options for HylaFAX server to control startup and modems
* systemd services for HylaFAX server processes
including faxgettys for modems
* systemd services to maintain the HylaFAX spool area,
including cleanup with faxcron and faxqclean
* default configuration for all server processes
for a minimal working configuration
Some notes:
* HylaFAX configuration cannot be initialized with faxsetup
(as it would be common on other Linux distributions).
The hylafaxplus package contains a template spool area.
* Modems are controlled by faxgetty.
Send-only configuration (modems controlled by faxq)
is not supported by this configuration setup.
* To enable the service, one or more modems must be defined with
config.services.hylafax.modems .
* Sending mail *should* work:
HylaFAX will use whatever is in
config.services.mail.sendmailSetuidWrapper.program
unless overridden with the sendmailPath option.
* The admin has to create a hosts.hfaxd file somewhere
(e.g. in /etc) before enabling HylaFAX.
This file controls access to the server (see hosts.hfaxd(5) ).
Sadly, HylaFAX does not permit account-based access
control as is accepts connections via TCP only.
* Active fax polling should work; I can't test it.
* Passive fax polling is not supported by HylaFAX.
* Pager transmissions (with sendpage) are disabled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
* Incoming data/voice/"extern"al calls
won't be handled by default.
I have never tested or used these.
