It's a quick approximation to unblock unstable channels after #48116.
This commit isn't ideal, as I suspect most wayland users won't have
xserver.enable, so they will lose the icon cache in case they had gtk
in system path (otherwise they didn't get cache anyway).
I considered using environment.noXlibs, but the nixos tests installing
headless systems do *not* get that option, so we would still be pulling
gtk in many cases where it's clearly not desired. We need to design
this more carefully.
Several service definitions used `mkEnableOption` with text starting
with "Whether to", which produced funny option descriptions like
"Whether to enable Whether to run the rspamd daemon..".
This commit corrects this, and adds short descriptions of services
to affected service definitions.
We use `127.0.1.1` instead of `127.0.0.1` because some applications will fail if
`127.0.0.1` resolves to something other than `localhost`.
Debian does the same.
See #1248 and #36261.
Since `networking.hosts` is properly typed all of that magic `/etc/hosts` generator
does can be dropped. People that disagree with the value of `networking.hosts` can
simply `mkForce`.
For update-mime-database to work, you must have to have some mime
packages installed. In some DEs like XFCE this is not guaranteed to
happen. In that case just skip the update-mime-database call.
Fixes#46162
A shared exported guard `__NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE` is introduced that can
be used to prevent child shells from sourcing `system.build.setEnvironment`
the second time.
This fixes e.g. `nix run derivation` when run from e.g. ZSH through the console or
ssh. Before this Bash would resource the common environment resetting the `PATH`
environment variable.
We also export `system.build.setEnvironment` to `/etc/set-environment` making it
easy to reset the common environment with `. /etc/set-environment` when
needed and to grep for environment variables in `/etc` (which was the
motivation of #30418).
This reverts changes made in b00a3fc6fd
(the original #30418).
- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB)
- coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools
- NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full
- *Support parameter defaults are moved inside
(it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`)
Closure considerations:
+ typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB
- typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB,
due to referring to both versions. I think it would be possible to
re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression
would get much more complex.
I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default
`coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many
trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild
impact of openssl from growing significantly.
Forcibly restarting NSCD is unnecessary and breaks setups that use SSSD for
authentication. NSCD is capable of detecting changes to /etc/resolv.conf and
invalidating its caches internally. Restarting NSCD/SSSD breaks user name and
UID resolution.
The usage of nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides is deprecated and we do
have overlays since quite a while.

When doing source routing/multihoming, it's practical to give names to routing
tables. The absence of the rt_table file in /etc make this impossible.
This patch recreates these files on rebuild so that they can be modified
by the user see NixOS#38638.
iproute2 is modified to look into config.networking.iproute2.confDir instead of
/etc/iproute2.
Following legacy packing conventions, `isArm` was defined just for
32-bit ARM instruction set. This is confusing to non packagers though,
because Aarch64 is an ARM instruction set.
The official ARM overview for ARMv8[1] is surprisingly not confusing,
given the overall state of affairs for ARM naming conventions, and
offers us a solution. It divides the nomenclature into three levels:
```
ISA: ARMv8 {-A, -R, -M}
/ \
Mode: Aarch32 Aarch64
| / \
Encoding: A64 A32 T32
```
At the top is the overall v8 instruction set archicture. Second are the
two modes, defined by bitwidth but differing in other semantics too, and
buttom are the encodings, (hopefully?) isomorphic if they encode the
same mode.
The 32 bit encodings are mostly backwards compatible with previous
non-Thumb and Thumb encodings, and if so we can pun the mode names to
instead mean "sets of compatable or isomorphic encodings", and then
voilà we have nice names for 32-bit and 64-bit arm instruction sets
which do not use the word ARM so as to not confused either laymen or
experienced ARM packages.
