Previously you either had to set the setuid bit yourself or workaround
`isSystemUser = true` (for a loginable shell) to access the weechat
screen.
`programs.screen` shouldn't do this by default to avoid taking too much
assumptions about the setup, however `services.weechat` explicitly
requires tihs.
See #45728
Included changes:
* upstream repository has moved, URLs changed accordingly
* journaldriver bumped to new upstream release
The new release includes an important workaround for an issue that
could cause log-forwarding to fail after service restarts due to
invalid journal cursors being persisted.
This patch uses the library function `lib.escapeShellArg` to improve
the handling of shell aliases in the NixOS module `bash`, copying the
corresponding change made to the `zsh` module in commit
1e211a70cb (for which GitHub pull
request #47471 was filed).
This patch resolves GitHub issue #16973.
This change presumably also should be copied to the `fish` module, but
I don't know `fish` syntax so that won't be done by me.

When logging into a container by using
nixos-container root-login
all nix-related commands in the container would fail, as they
tried to modify the nix db and nix store, which are mounted
read-only in the container. We want nixos-container to not
try to modify the nix store at all, but instead delegate
any build commands to the nix daemon of the host operating system.
This already works for non-root users inside a nixos-container,
as it doesn't 'own' the nix-store, and thus defaults
to talking to the daemon socket at /nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/,
which is bind-mounted to the host daemon-socket, causing all nix
commands to be delegated to the host.
However, when we are the root user inside the container, we have the
same uid as the nix store owner, eventhough it's not actually
the same root user (due to user namespaces). Nix gets confused,
and is convinced it's running in single-user mode, and tries
to modify the nix store directly instead.
By setting `NIX_REMOTE=daemon` in `/etc/profile`, we force nix
to operate in multi-user mode, so that it will talk to the host
daemon instead, which will modify the nix store for the container.
This fixes#40355
The problem was that the non-fatal warning was not omitted
from the output when constructing a nix expression.
Now it seems OK for me. When return code is OK,
the warnings don't get passed anywhere, but I expect
that won't matter for this utility. Fatal errors are still shown.
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.
The autoupgrade service defined in `system.autoUpgrade`
(`nixos/modules/installer/tools/auto-upgrade.nix`) doesn't have `su` in
its path and thus yields a warning during the `daemon-reload`.
Specifying the absolute path fixes the issue.
Fixes#47648
