As requested by @roberth, we now have an option similar to
environment.etc. There's also extra store paths to copy and a way to
suppress store paths to make customizations possible.
We also link mount and umount to /bin to make recovery easier when
something fails
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
This accomplishes multiple things:
- Allows us to start systemd without stage-2-init.sh. This was not
possible before because the environment would have been wrong
- `systemctl daemon-reexec` also changes the environment, giving us
newer tools for the fs packages
- Starts systemd in a fully clean environment, making everything more
consistent and pure
At some point, I'd like to make another attempt at
71f1f4884b ("openssl: stop static binaries referencing libs"), which
was reverted in 195c7da07d. One problem with my previous attempt is
that I moved OpenSSL's libraries to a lib output, but many dependent
packages were hardcoding the out output as the location of the
libraries. This patch fixes every such case I could find in the tree.
It won't have any effect immediately, but will mean these packages
will automatically use an OpenSSL lib output if it is reintroduced in
future.
This patch should cause very few rebuilds, because it shouldn't make
any change at all to most packages I'm touching. The few rebuilds
that are introduced come from when I've changed a package builder not
to use variable names like openssl.out in scripts / substitution
patterns, which would be confusing since they don't hardcode the
output any more.
I started by making the following global replacements:
${pkgs.openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib pkgs.openssl}/lib
${openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib openssl}/lib
Then I removed the ".out" suffix when part of the argument to
lib.makeLibraryPath, since that function uses lib.getLib internally.
Then I fixed up cases where openssl was part of the -L flag to the
compiler/linker, since that unambigously is referring to libraries.
Then I manually investigated and fixed the following packages:
- pycurl
- citrix-workspace
- ppp
- wraith
- unbound
- gambit
- acl2
I'm reasonably confindent in my fixes for all of them.
For acl2, since the openssl library paths are manually provided above
anyway, I don't think openssl is required separately as a build input
at all. Removing it doesn't make a difference to the output size, the
file list, or the closure.
I've tested evaluation with the OfBorg meta checks, to protect against
introducing evaluation failures.
We can perform most of the mkdir/ln/rm using systemd-tmpfiles
instead which cleans up the script.
/bin and /home are created by their activation script snippets
usbfs is deprecated and unused.
hwclock seems to be automatically executed by systemd on startup.
The mkswap to prevent hibernation cycles seems to be executed by systemd
as well since the provided regression tests succeeds.
