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.
our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
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.
The `bash` binary is needed for running some plugins, notably the alarm notify plugins. If the binary isn't in the path, alarms notifications aren't sent and the netdata error log instead contains `/usr/bin/env: 'bash': No such file or directory`.
This option makes the complete netdata configuration directory available for
modification. The default configuration is merged with changes
defined in the configDir option.

Without this patch merging options like
services.xserver.windowManager.xmonad.extraPackages
results in the evaluation error:
error: value is a list while a set was expected, at nixpkgs/lib/options.nix:77:23
With this patch we get the desired merging behaviour that just concatenates the
resulting package lists.

I've had Netdata crash on me sometimes. Rarely but more than once. And I lost days of data before I noticed.
Let's be nice and restart it on failures by default.
New option `extraPluginPaths' that allows users to supply additional
paths for netdata plugins. Very useful for when you want to use
custom collection scripts.
Otherwise netdata will not find python modules.
To make sure netdata still pick up our setuid version of apps.plugin
we rename the original executable.
The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.
apps.plugin requires capabilities for full process monitoring. with
1.9.0, netdata allows multiple directories to search for plugins and the
setuid directory can be specified here.
the module is backwards compatible with older configs. a test is
included that verifies data gathering for the elevated privileges. one
additional attribute is added to make configuration more generic than
including configuration in string form.
