In some cases, /dev/stderr may not point to a sensible location. For
example, running nixos-enter inside a systemd unit where the unit's
StandardOutput and StandardError are set to be sockets. In these
cases, this line would fail.
Piping to fd2 directly works just as well, even under strange and
twisted executions.

Some display managers (e.g. SDDM) set the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable accroding to this parameter.
If this variable is not defined, there will be some problems (e.g. MATE doesn't have icons on the desktop).

3c74e48d9c was a bit too much, it updated
permissions of all files recursively, causing files to be readable by
the group.
This isn't a problem immediately after bootup, but on a new activation,
as tmpfiles.d get restarted then, updating the permission bits of
now-existing files.
This updates the `Z` to be a `z` (the non-recursive variant), and adds a
`d` to ensure a directory is created (which should be covered by the
initrd shell script anyway)
"master" is not a valid SHA-1 commit hash, and it's not even
necessarily the branch used. 'nixos-version --revision' now returns an
error if the commit hash is not known.
XML error introduced with merge commit 4e0fea3fe2.
This was probably because of wrong conflict resolution, because the
actual change (d8e697b4fc) had the close
tag of the <para/> element, but the merge commit didn't.

Most VM tests have been migrated to use the python test driver
(introduced in #71684), the migration is tracked in #72828 (which also
thankfully uncovered and fixed many currently broken tests)
While increasing the acceptance and adoption of NixOS integration tests
by using a more popular language, there was also nobody willing to do
larger refactors in the currently very convoluted test infrastructure.
We plan to remove the perl infrastructure between the 20.03 and 20.09
release, to be able to do these refactorings.
Some people might be using Perl tests in their internal CI, so print a
warning for 20.03, and give users time to move to the python testing
infrastructure.
Package is marked as broken for >2 years and used a fairly old
snapshot from the gcc7-branch, so I fairly doubt that this is
somewhere used (and is also pretty misleading as you don't expect a
random snapshot from gcc7 at `pkgs.gcc-snapshot`).
