this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
MD can only do the latter, so change them all over now to keeps diffs reviewable.
this also includes <literal><xref> -> <xref> where options are referenced since
the reference will implicitly add an inner literal tag.
Both Zsh and Bash support aliases that begin with characters also used to
indicate options to the “alias” built-in command, as long as the alias
definition is preceeded by a double dash.
This allows, e.g, for “alias -- +x=chmod +x”.
When a script specifies the shell option “nounset” as part of the shebang (e.g.,
via “#!/usr/bin/env -S zsh -u”), our initialization scripts would produce error
messages of the form:
__ETC_FOO_SOURCED: parameter not set
These messages could probably be confusing to users when running such scripts.
By providing a fall-back in the parameter expansion, we can avoid them.
This patch does not address interactive shell start-up, where such messages may
(or may not) be less problematic.
Zsh ships some rudimentary completions for programs where upstream also ships
their own completions (e.g., curl). So as not to shadow those completions, we
need to prepend to the fpath instead of appending.
Fixes#197502
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.
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.
zsh-autosuggestions supports having fallback strategies expressed
through the ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY array. For example,
`ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY=(history completion)`. We should also support
this.
This reverts commit 6a756af3e7.
Currently zshenv by default only set fpath and HELPDIR without exporting them.
A parent shell would also not set those variables usually as they are shell local.
It also sources a file called set-environment but this is protected by an
environment variable called __NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE. Hence any modification
done by the parent shell should persist as long as __NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE
is not unset.
This behavior deviates from what we do in bashrc and breaks common setups such
as tmux/mosh or screen.
Fixes#80437
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
From https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#faq:
"It must be sourced after all custom widgets have been created
(i.e., after all zle -N calls and after running compinit)."
zsh-syntax-highlighting must be sourced to the end.
For a long time, TRAMP has not worked with ZSH NixOS servers. I
thought I fixed this in 0740f57e63af61694d14796286cb9204, but now
realize that was only half the problem. For TRAMP to start working
again ‘unsetopt zle’ was needed, otherwise the connection would hang.
In addition, I have a few more settings added that can apparenty
interfere with these settings.
