* The ELK stack is upgraded to 6.3.2.
* `elasticsearch6`, `logstash6` and `kibana6` now come with X-Pack which is
a suite of additional features. These are however licensed under the unfree
"Elastic License".
* Fortunately they also provide OSS versions which are now packaged
under: `elasticsearch6-oss`, `logstash6-oss` and `kibana6-oss`.
Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream.
* The test `nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6` will test the OSS
version by default. You can also run the test on the unfree ELK using:
`NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6 --arg enableUnfree true`
This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.

docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns

Problem: Restarting (stopping) system.slice would not only stop X11 but
also most system units/services. We obviously don't want this happening
to users when they switch from 18.03 to 18.09 or nixos-unstable.
Reason: The following change in systemd:
d8e5a93382
The commit adds system.slice to the perpetual units, which means
removing the unit file and adding it to the source code. This is done so
that system.slice can't be stopped anymore but in our case it ironically
would cause this script to stop system.slice because the unit file was
removed (and an older systemd version is still running).

When running e.g. `nixos-option boot.kernelPackages` I get an output
like this on the current unstable channel (18.09pre144959.be1461fc0ab):
```
$ nixos-option boot.kernelPackages
Value:
*exit 1*
```
This is fairly counter-intuitive as I have no clue what might went
wrong. `strace` delivers an output like this:
```
read(3, "error: Package \342\200\230cryptodev-linu"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "ux/cryptodev/default.nix:22 is m"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "lowBroken = true; }\nin configura"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "you can add\n { allowBroken = tr"..., 128) = 128
read(3, "n)\n", 128) = 3
read(3, "", 128) = 0
```
`nixos-option` evaluates the system config using `nix-instantiate` which
might break when the evaluation fails (e.g. due to broken or unfree
packages that are prohibited to evaluate by default). The script aborts
due to the shebang `@shell@ -e`.
In order to ensure that no unexpected
behavior occurs due to removing `-e` from the interpreter the easiest
way to work around this was to wrap `nix-instantiate` in `evalNix()`
with a `set +e`. The function checks the success of the evaluation with
`$?` in the end. Additionally `evalNix` shouldn't break, if one
evaluation (e.g. the values that contain a package set by default) to
return additional information like a description.
With the change `nixos-option boot.kernelPackages` delivers the
following output for me:
```
Value:
error: Package ‘cryptodev-linux-1.9-4.14.52’ in /nix/store/47z2s8cwppymmgzw6n7pbcashikyk5jk-nixos/nixos/pkgs/os-specific/linux/cryptodev/default.nix:22 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

Description:
"This option allows you to override the Linux kernel used by\nNixOS. Since things like external kernel module packages are\ntied to the kernel you're using, it also overrides those.\nThis option is a function that takes Nixpkgs as an argument\n(as a convenience), and returns an attribute set containing at\nthe very least an attribute <varname>kernel</varname>.\nAdditional attributes may be needed depending on your\nconfiguration. For instance, if you use the NVIDIA X driver,\nthen it also needs to contain an attribute\n<varname>nvidia_x11</varname>.\n"

* nixos/virtualbox: Adds more options to virtualbox-image.nix
Previously you could only set the size of the disk.
This change adds the ability to change the amount of memory
that the image gets, along with the name / derivation name /
file name for the VM.
* Incorporates some review feedback
This allows non-privileged users to configure local DNS
entries by editing hosts files read by NetworkManager's dnsmasq
instance.
Cherry-picked from e6c3d5a507 and
5a566004a2.
With a config like
{
networking.interfaces."lo".ip4 = [
{ address = "10.8.8.8"; prefixLength = 32; }
];
}
a nixos-rebuild switch would take a long time, and you'd see:
$ systemctl list-jobs
JOB UNIT TYPE STATE
734400 network-interfaces.target start waiting
734450 sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device start running
734449 network-link-lo.service start waiting
and:
systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device/star>
systemd[1]: sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device: Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device/star>
systemd[1]: Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-lo.device.
This removes the device dependency for `lo` and fixes this bug.
Closes#7227
The deep merge caused all the options to be unset when generating docs, unless quagga was enabled.
Using imports, instead, properly allows the documentation to be generated.
The `.service` file defining the `systemd` unit for `autorandr.service`
which is bundled with the package itself uses `--default default` in the
`ExecStart` section. This can be an issue when having multiple layouts
(e.g. `default` as workstation layout I mostly work on and `mobile` when
I go somewhere else).
When the service gets restarted and `--default` can't be applied,
however the current layout can't be detected (e.g. when working with an
unknown beamer) the service silently fails with a message like this:
```

As discussed in the IRC (see https://botbot.me/freenode/nixos/2018-07-05/?msg=101791455&page=6)
it's a bad long-term solution in terms of maintenance to manually patch
the service file bundled with the derivation, instead the service shall
be configured declaratively. Additionally this makes possible overrides
from the user-space way easier.
The `udev` rule (in `$out/etc/udev/rules.d`) won't' be affected, it
simply runs `systemctl start autorandr.service` when e.g. a new display
is added, so now `udev` communicates with the NixOS systemd unit.
To update the plasma start menu `kbuildsyscoca5` needs to be executed.
There are several people complaining about missing applications in their
plasma start menu.
This patch adds a activationScript for plasma, that runs
`kbuildsyscoca5` for each user that has `isNormalUser` == `true`.
