symlinkJoin can break (silently) when the passed paths contain symlinks
to directories. This should work now.
Down-side: when lib/tmpfiles.d doesn't exist for some passed package,
the error message is a little less explicit, because we never get
to the postBuild phase (and symlinkJoin doesn't provide a better way):
/nix/store/HASH-NAME/lib/tmpfiles.d: No such file or directory
Also, it seemed pointless to create symlinks for whole package trees
and using only a part of the result (usually very small part).
These are now only installed by systemd if HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT is true,
which only is the case if you set sysvinit-path and sysvrcnd-path (which
we explicitly unset in the systemd derivation for quite some time)
From the systemd release notes:
nss-mymachines lost support for resolution of users and groups, and now
only does resolution of hostnames. This functionality is now provided by
nss-systemd. Thus, the 'mymachines' entry should be removed from the
'passwd:' and 'group:' lines in /etc/nsswitch.conf (and 'systemd' added
if it is not already there).
Since systemd 246, these are only installed by systemd if
HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT is true, which only is the case if you set
sysvinit-path and sysvrcnd-path (which we explicitly unset in the
systemd derivation for quite some time)
There's a circular dependency to systemd via cryptsetup and lvm2
(systemd -> cryptsetup -> lvm2 -> udev=systemd).
However, cryptsetup only really needs the devmapper component shipped
with lvm2. So build `pkgs.cryptsetup` with a lvm2 that doesn't come with
udev.
- Give a more accurate description of how fileSystems.<name/>.neededForBoot
works
- Give a more detailed description of how fileSystems.<name/>.encrypted.keyFile
works
This lets users do sneaky things before systemd starts, and
permanently affect the environment in which systemd runs. For example,
we could start systemd in a non-default network namespace by setting
the systemdExecutable to a wrapper script containing:
#!/bin/sh
ip netns add virtual
touch /var/run/netns/physical
mount -o bind /proc/self/ns/net /var/run/netns/physical
exec ip netns exec virtual systemd
_note: the above example does literally work, but there are unresolved
problems with udev and dhcp._
Fixes error
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /nix/store/...-install-grub.pl line 642, <FILE> line 5.
with `/boot/grub/state` being:
```
grub
2.04
no
/dev/sda
/boot
```
I am not sure where the trailing empty line can come from; the script does not
seem to write it. In any case, now we handle that situation as well.
Further, ensure that `extraGrubInstallArgs` defaults to the empty array
if its key is not present in the `jsonState`.
For example, turns the error
cannot copy /nix/store/g24xsmmsz46hzi6whv7qwwn17myn3jfq-grub-2.04/share/grub/unicode.pf2 to /boot
into the more useful
cannot copy /nix/store/g24xsmmsz46hzi6whv7qwwn17myn3jfq-grub-2.04/share/grub/unicode.pf2 to /boot: Read-only file system
