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.
we previously defined a custom type for `boot.kernel.sysctl."net.core.rmem_max"`
to resolve to the highest value set. this patch adds the same behavior to
`"net.core.wmem_max"`.
as this changes the type from a string to an integer, which is a breaking
change this patch also includes a release note and updates the transmission
module to use a number for `wmem_max`.
systemd would previously create a nonoperational
"/var/lib/transmission/watch-dir" directory due to a typo in the
StateDirectory array ("watch-dir" -> "watchdir")
I have corrected this by using the pre-declared constants for these
folder names.
mkAliasOptionModule should not default to mdDoc descriptions because
that can break out-of-tree users of documentation infrastructure. add an
explicitly-MD variant for now, to be removed some time after the MD
transition is complete.
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 mostly means marking options that use markdown already
appropriately and making a few adjustments so they still render
correctly. notable for nftables we have to transform the md links
because the manpage would not render them correctly otherwise.
the way these are written they introduce lots of whitespace in each
line, which will cause those lines to render as code when converted to
markdown. override the whole description instead.
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).
markdown can't represent the difference without another extension and
both the html manual and the manpage render them the same, so keeping the
distinction is not very useful on its own. with the distinction removed
we can automatically convert many options that use <code> tags to markdown.
the manpage remains unchanged, html manual does not render
differently (but class names on code tags do change from "code" to "literal").
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.
adds defaultText for all options that use `cfg.*` values in their
defaults, but only for interpolations with no extra processing (other
than toString where necessary)
