make (almost) all links appear on only a single line, with no
unnecessary whitespace, using double quotes for attributes. this lets us
automatically convert them to markdown easily.
the few remaining links are extremely long link in a gnome module, we'll
come back to those at a later date.
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.
Depending on the network management backend being used, if the interface
configuration in stage 1 is not cleared, there might still be some old
addresses or routes from stage 1 present in stage 2 after network
configuration has finished.
The improved lspci command shows all available ethernet controllers and
their kernel modules. Previously, the user had to provide the slot name
of a specific device.
* acquire DHCP on the interfaces with networking.interface.$name.useDHCP == true or on all interfaces if networking.useDHCP == true (was only only "eth0")
* respect "mtu" if it was in DHCP answer (it happens in the wild)
* acquire and set up staticroutes (unlike others clients, udhcpc does not do the query by default); this supersedes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/41829
This can be used to fix issues where udhcpc times out before
acquiring a lease. For example of these issues, see:
