now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
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.
Prior to this change, the configuration value for
`services.gitlab.registry.issuer` was only referenced by the
docker-registry configuration and in the `gitlab-registry-cert` service
while the gitlab config used the hard-coded value "gitlab-issuer".
`ConditionPathExists` belongs in the [Unit] section, not [Service].
The unit now properly checks if the cert file already
exists before activating so certs will not be overwritten anymore.
using freeform is the new standard way of using modules and should replace
extraConfig.
In particular, this will allow us to place a condition on mails
Fail scripts on pipeline errors and propagate subshell errors.
If an error occurs in a subshell, including while trying to read a
secret file, we want that error to propagate to the main shell
context. That means we have to set the `inherit_errexit` option, which
allows errors from subshells to propagate to the outer shell. Also,
the subshell cannot run as part of another command, such as `export`,
since that will simply ignore the subshell exit status and only
respect `export`s exit status; first assigning the value to a variable
and then exporting it solves issue.
