The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are
bound to be better tested than `fdisk`.
This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the
`fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected.

Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes.
In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been
made, allowing better deep linking.
While it seemingly brings more attention to the macOS notes with the
default docbook template, it better represents which parts of the
section are about macOS, and which parts are simply in the flow of the
text; otherwise the last paragraph may be lost into the details for
macOS.
Nix commands inside the container have been broken since 18.03,
and no fix is yet in sight. Lets remove from the documentation
that this is a usecase that we support, as it doesn't seem
likely that this will be fixed before 18.09 either.
See #40355
- New dependency on 'getconf' binary for
3aa619e9ef/src/vm_memory_monitor.erl (L448)
- New dependency on 'socat' for systemd notifications
4a3ee3a336/src/rabbit.erl (L361)
- elixir_1_6 for a new 'rabbitmqctl' tool
- Replace patching with providing custom PATH, as we already have some
other things here
- Renamed package in all-packages.nix from a legacy spelling
Because when I see "config.system.build.manual.manual" after I forgot
what it means I ask "Why do I need that second `.manual` there again?".
Doesn't happen with `config.system.build.manual.manualHTML`.
This is taken from the 18.09 change, which was reverted on release-18.09
but not master. The now-false 18.09 release notes were just removed from
master in 29854e2426, but since the
underlying change is still there, release notes for 19.03 are warranted.
This commit takes the now-reverted release notes and reuses them for
that.
Fixed minor issue where kube-addon manager complaints about
/opt/namespace.yaml missing.
Added release notes with reference to Kubernetes 1.11 release notes.
closes#43882
This adds a release notes entry to make users (and especially
developers) aware so they no longer need to use </para><para> in option
descriptions as this is now done automatically on every two consecutive
newlines.

What annoyed me for a long time was the fact, that in order to break
into a new paragraph, you need to insert </para><para> in the
description attribute of an option.
Now we will automatically create <para/> elements for every block that
is separated by two consecutive newlines.
I first tried to do this within options-to-docbook.xsl, but it turns
out[1] that this isn't directly possible with XSLT 1.0, so I added
another XSLT file that postprocesses the option descriptions that are
now enclosed in <nixos:option-description/> by options-to-docbook.xsl.
The splitting itself is a bit more involved, because we can't simply
split on every \n\n because we'd also split text nodes of elements, for
example:
<screen><![CDATA[
one line
another one
]]></screen>
This would create one <para/> element for "one line" and another for
"another line", which we obviously don't want because <screen/> is used
to display verbatim contents of what a user is seeing on the screen.
So what we do instead is splitting *only* the top-level text nodes
within the outermost <para/> and leave all elements as-is. If there are
more than one <para/> elements at the top-level, we simply don't process
it at all, because the description then already contains </para><para>.

The instructions to install nixos behind a proxy were not clear. While
one could guess that setting http_proxy variables can get the install
rolling, one could end up with an installed system where the proxy
settings for the nix-daemon are not configured.
This commit updates the documentation with
1. steps to install behind a proxy
2. configure the global proxy settings so that nix-daemon can access
internet.
3. Pointers to use nesting.clone in case one has to use different proxy
settings on different networks.
Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.

When rebuilding you have to manually run `systemctl --user
daemon-reload`. It gathers all authenticated users using
`loginctl list-user` and runs `daemon-reload` for each of them.
This is a first step towards a `nixos-rebuild` which is able to reload
user units from systemd. The entire task is fairly hard, however I
consider this patch usable as it allows to restart units without running
`daemon-reload` for each authenticated user.
The server is not verified over the git:// transfer protocol. If you
clone a repository over git://, you should check if the latest commit's
hash is correct.
On the other hand, https:// will always verify the server automatically,

This reverts commit 095fe5b43d.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.

Kubernetes dashboard currently has cluster admin permissions,
which is not recommended.
- Renamed option "services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard.enableRBAC" to "services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard.rbac.enable"
- Added option "services.kubernetes.addons.dashboard.rbac.clusterAdmin", default = false.
- Setting recommended minimal permissions for the dashboard in accordance with https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/wiki/Installation
- Updated release note for 18.09.
- Added option 'cni.configDir' to allow for having CNI config outside of nix-store
Existing behavior (writing verbatim CNI conf-files to nix-store) is still available.
- Removed unused option 'apiserver.publicAddress' and changed 'apiserver.address' to 'bindAddress'
This conforms better to k8s docs and removes existing --bind-address hardcoding to 0.0.0.0
- Fixed c/p mistake in apiserver systemd unit description
- Updated 18.09 release notes to reflect changes to existing options
And fixed some typos from previous PR

This script is used to automatically fix issues within xml documentation
files.
The script is *for now* intended to be used ad-hoc, and the commits to
be examined.
A future discussion will define whether:
* This commit and scripts are kept.
* The script is extended for common use.
The biggest issue right now with the script is that it *could* in theory
destroy a valid space-less varlistentry.
The script could, in practical use, be changed and extended to normalize
some parts of the XML files, mainly:
* A common quoting style for attributes
* Fix-up some weird formatting automatically that xmlformat doesn't
catch
- Added information regarding breaking changes to release note for 18.09
- Changed golang version comment in kubernetes package
- Added @johanot to maintainers list
* improve nix installation instructions
in the command
$ bash <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install)
<(..) is a bashism. The documentation now show a command that does
not require to be executed by bash.
The manual still had a reference to an option that was already renamed
ages ago and a7ed44ccad made it 'visible'.
With the visible attribute set to false for extraKernelModules, the
option no longer appears in the manual and thus breaks the link from the
manual to the options.
This is easily fixed by referring to boot.initrd.kernelModules instead
of the obsolete option boot.initrd.extraKernelModules.

This introduces an option that allows us to turn off stateful generation
of Diffie-Hellman parameters, which in some way is still "stateful" as
the generated DH params file is non-deterministic.
However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for
failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is
done during build-time.
Aside from adding a NixOS VM test it also restructures the type of the
security.dhparams.params option, so that it's a submodule.
A new defaultBitSize option is also there to allow users to set a
system-wide default.
I added a release notes entry that described what has changed and also
included a few notes for module developers using this module, as the
first usage already popped up in NixOS/nixpkgs#39507.
Thanks to @Ekleog and @abbradar for reviewing.
This is not only to make users aware of the changes but also to give a
heads up to developers which are using the module. Specifically if they
rely on security.dhparams.path only.

The following changes have been applied:
- the property `http.headers.X-Content-Type-Options` must a list of
strings rather than a serialized list
- instead of `/etc/docker/registry/config.yml` the configuration will be
written with `pkgs.writeText` and the store path will be used to run
the registry. This reduces the risk of possible impurities by relying
on the Nix store only.
- cleaned up the property paths to easy readability and reduce the
verbosity.
- enhanced the testcase to ensure that digests can be deleted as well
- the `services.docker-registry.extraConfig` object will be merged with
`registryConfig`

As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745
the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to
`nixos/version` which implicates the following changes:
* `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release`
* `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix`
* `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version`
As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`,
`NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause
a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with
a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
- mkfs.fat needs `-n` to set a partition label, not `-L`.
- create /mnt/boot before mounting
- leave out detailed LVM example as advanced users already how to create
LVs while it is detracting for novices.
Re #38674
The `clementine` package is actually released under Apache license, but
requires the unfree `libspotify` package to build.
Now `nixpkgs.clementine` points to the free derivation and
`nixpkgs.clementineUnfree` has been introduced for the package bundled
with spotify support.
Fixes#38315

The original idea behind this change (described in ticket #11064) was to
improve the assertions to avoid that users of the X server accidentally
forget to configure a DM or WM.
However this caused several issues with setups that require X, but no DM
or WM. The keymap testcases became instable as well as now disabling DMs
needs to be done explicitly.
(see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/31268#issuecomment-347080036)
In the end the idea behind the change and #11064 was obviously a
mistake, so reverting it completely for now should be fine.
I was mainly considering Jellyfish and Jaguar (and Jackrabbit).
Originally I was inclined for Jellyfish, but then I thought of the
release T-shirts someone makes and it didn't seem suitable...
Jaguar would keep the name referring to a car as well, but as a
not-too-old (Mac) OS version is codenamed that way, I didn't go for it.

branches since the fork point):

Hm, this is not really the intended use of stateVersion. From the description:
Every once in a while, a new NixOS release may change
configuration defaults in a way incompatible with stateful
data. For instance, if the default version of PostgreSQL
changes, the new version will probably be unable to read your
existing databases. To prevent such breakage, you can set the
value of this option to the NixOS release with which you want
to be compatible. The effect is that NixOS will option
defaults corresponding to the specified release (such as using
an older version of PostgreSQL).
So this is only intended for options that have some corresponding on-disk state. AFAICT this is not the case for sound. In any case stateVersion is a necessary evil that only exists because we can't just upgrade Postgres databases or change SSH host keys. It's not necessary for things like whether sound is enabled. (If the user discovers that sound is suddenly disabled, they can just enable it.)
I had some vague recollection that we also had a configVersion option setting to control the defaults for non-state-related options, but I can't find it so maybe it was only discussed.
This allows one to specify "related packages" in NixOS that get rendered into
the configuration.nix(5) man page. The interface philosophy is pretty much
stolen from TeX bibliography.
See the next several commits for examples.
The use of Nix 2.0 significantly simplifies the installer, since we
can just pass a different store URI (--store /mnt) - it's no longer
needed to set up a chroot environment for the build, and to bootstrap
Nix into the chroot.
Also, commands that need to run in the installation (namely boot
loader installation and setting a root password) are now executed
using nixos-enter.
This also removes the need for nixos-prepare-root since any required
initialisation is done by Nix or by the activation script.
Among other things, this will allow *2nix tools to output plain data
while still being composable with the traditional
callPackage/.override interfaces.
addPassthru became unused in #33057, but its signature was changed at the same

New thin laptops don't have an ethernet port and so rely on wifi to get
access. With the minimal installer, setup wpa_supplicant can be hard if
it is the first time so here we provide an example.
This was only applicable to very specific hardware, and the only person
with an apparent interest in maintaining it (me) no longer uses the

"Ejecting" from the Finder ejects the entire device which is then not available for dd. diskutil unmountDisk does the right thing. Furthermore writing to diskN instead of rdiskN failed to complete even after waiting >10 minutes.
before:
- /var/run/memcached is a bad default for a socket path, since its
parent directory must be writeable by memcached.
- Socket directory was not created by the module itself -> this was
left as a burden to the user?
- Having a static uid with a dynamic user name is not very useful.
after:
- Replace services.memcached.socket by a boolean flag. This simplifies
our code, since we do not have to check if the user specifies a
path with a parent directory that should be owned by memcached
(/run/memcached/memcached.sock -> /run/memcached).
- Remove fixed uid/gid allocation. The only file ever owned by the
daemon is the socket that will be recreated on every start.
Therefore user and group ids do not need to be static.
- only create the memcached user, if the user has not specified a
different one. The major use case for changing option is to allow
existing services (such as php-fpm) opening the local unix socket.
If we would unconditionally create a user that option would be
useless.

Breaking people's config for this is hardly reasonable as is. If it
absolutely cannot be avoided, at the very least, we need to provide
clear instructions on what people need to upgrade in their config. I
actually had to bisect to the commit, to even find out what property I
should change or define, as the error message was useless. It didn't
even mention a property name.
Discussion on the PR seems to be ongoing, so I'm reverting this, so we
don't break people's systems on unstable.
postage is no longer maintained and has been replaced by the identical pgmanage. See:

It's a fairly basic usage, but it makes explicity the fact that
you should at least have a main partition and a swap partition,

The section was strange to read, as the initial example already used
`listOf' which is mentioned in the very first paragraph. Then you read
in a subsection about `listOf' and the exact same example is given
once again.
