Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder. That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary. Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/) to achieve atomicity. Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints were removed in installation scripts and in boot process. Tested: - upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink - make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted |

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at
https://nixos.org/nix/download.html
When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
