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.
Does not set MemoryDenyWriteExecute as OpenJDK need to mark memory page as
executable. Does not set ProcSubset as /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo
are needed.
- allow for options to (added 2 options):
- agree to eula (eula.txt) true/false will create symlink over
existing eula.txt to `/nix/store/...`.
- whitelist users (optional and will symlink over existing
whitelist.json and create backup)
- server.properties can be configured with the serverProperties
option. If there is an existing server.properties it will
copy it to a server.properties.old to keep the old
one. server.properties MUST be writable thus symlinking is not
an option.
- all ports that are stated in `server.properties` are exposed
properly in the firewall.
(infinisil) nixos/minecraft-server: Fix, refactor and polish
Adds an option `declarative` (defaulted to false), in order to stay
(mostly) backwards compatible. The only thing that's not backwards
compatible is that you now need to agree to the EULA on evaluation time,
but that's guarded by an assertion and therefore doesn't need a release
note.
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.
