This was enabled by default in 18a7ce76fc
with the reason that it would be "useful regardless of the desktop
environment.", which I'm not arguing against.
The reason why this should not be enabled by default is that there are a
lot of systems that NixOS runs on that are not desktop systems.
Users on such systems most likely do not want or need this feature and
could even consider this an antifeature.
Furthermore, it is surprising to them to find out that they have this
enabled on their systems.
They might be even more surprised to find that they have polkit enabled
by default, which was a default that was flipped in
a813be071c. For some discussion as to why
see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/156858.
Evidently, this default is not only surprising to users, but also module
developers, as most if not all modules for desktop environments already
explicity set services.udisks2.enable = true; which they don't need to
right now.
`cosigned` is no more part of the cosign repository and it has been moved
into a `sigstore/policy-controller` repository. A new package should probably
be created to replace it.
https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/releases/tag/v1.10.0
* Update to the latest upstream version of pass-secret-service that includes
systemd service files.
* Add patch to fix use of a function that has been removed from the Python
Cryptography library in NixOS 22.05
* Install systemd service files in the Nix package.
* Add NixOS test to ensure the D-Bus API activates the service unit.
* Add myself as a maintainer to the package and NixOS test.
* Use checkTarget instead of equivalent custom checkPhase.
Due to lack of maintenance. It is not compatible with the default
Python version (due to the tornado 5) dependency, and doesn't look
like it will be any time soon.
I was under the impression that setting `services.redis.servers.<name>.save = []` would disable RDB persistence as no schedule would mean no persistence. However since the code did not handle this case specially it actually results in no `save` setting being written and the internal Redis default is used.
This patch handles the empty case to disable RDB persistence.
Disabling RDB persistence is useful in a number of scenarios:
1. Using Redis in a pure-cache mode where persistence is not desired.
2. When using the (generally superior) AOF persistence mode this file is never read so there is little point to writing it.
3. When saving is handled manually
For more information see https://redis.io/docs/manual/persistence/
This is a breaking change as the user may have been relying on `[]` using Redis defaults. However I believe that updating the behaviour for the next release is beneficial as IMHO it is less surprising and does what the user would expect. I have added release notes to warn about this change.
- Add a module for the thunar file manager, which depends on the xfconf dbus service, and also has a dbus service and a systemd unit.
- Renames the option services.xserver.desktopManager.xfce.thunarPlugins to programs.thunar.plugins.
Riak have been updated a lot since the version 2.2 (now 3.0.10) but
has seen no updated to the package. This is at this point
a problem forcing us to maintain old versions of erlang.
We would be happy to re accept a newer version of Riak if someone want
to spend the time to set it up.
Qt4 is on it's way out, according to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/174634
Barco's ClickShare driver/client requires Qt4;
an update isn't in sight anywhere.
To prepare for the removal of Qt4,
the commit at hand removes the
ClickShare package and its NixOS module.
The release notes are appended with a hint about the
removal and some alternatives that might help users
that are still in need of the driver/client functionality.
