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.
Since Linux 5.7 it's possible to set `SO_BINDTODEVICE` via `setsockopt(2)`
as unprivileged user if this operation doesn't imply escaping a VRF
interface[1].
Dropping the wrapper is actually desirable because `captive-browser`
itself doesn't drop capabilities and as a result, the capabilities are
passed on to `chromium` itself[2].
For older kernels, this is still necessary, hence the wrapper will only
be added nowadays if the kernel is older than 5.7.

and because our setcap wrapper makes all capabilities
inheritable.
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.
this renders the same in the manpage and a little more clearly in the
html manual. in the manpage there continues to be no distinction from
regular text, the html manual gets code-type markup (which was probably
the intention for most of these uses anyway).
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.
easiest way to do this is to move the default expression out and
abstract over what is substituted into it, using a dependent value for
the default and a descriptive value for defaultText
To quote the XDG specification:
There is a single base directory relative to which user-specific
data files should be written. This directory is defined by the\
environment variable $XDG_DATA_HOME.
Rather than adding another directory to $HOME, I think that it's better
to follow this standard to avoid a cluttered home-dir.
Fixes the broken metrics evaluation which was caused by a `trace`
warning in stdout which confused `jq` in `pkgs/top-level/metrics.nix`.
Also made the `bind-device` feature optional as suggested after the
merge.
