The default value for journald's Storage option is "auto", which
determines whether to log to /var/log/journal based on whether that
directory already exists. So NixOS has been unconditionally creating
that directory in activation scripts.
However, we can get the same behavior by configuring journald.conf to
set Storage to "persistent" instead. In that case, journald will create
the directory itself if necessary.
Previously, the activation script was responsible for ensuring that
/etc/machine-id exists. However, the only time it could not already
exist is during stage-2-init, not while switching configurations,
because one of the first things systemd does when starting up as PID 1
is to create this file. So I've moved the initialization to
stage-2-init.
Furthermore, since systemd will do the equivalent of
systemd-machine-id-setup if /etc/machine-id doesn't have valid contents,
we don't need to do that ourselves.
We _do_, however, want to ensure that the file at least exists, because
systemd also uses the non-existence of this file to guess that this is a
first-boot situation. In that case, systemd tries to create some
symlinks in /etc/systemd/system according to its presets, which it can't
do because we've already populated /etc according to the current NixOS
configuration.
This is not necessary for any other activation script snippets, so it's
okay to do it after stage-2-init runs the activation script. None of
them declare a dependency on the "systemd" snippet. Also, most of them
only create files or directories in ways that obviously don't need the
machine-id set.
environment.sessionVariables cannot refer to the values of env vars,
and as a result this has caused problems in a variety of scenarios.
One use for these is that they're injected into /etc/profile,
elewhere these are used to populate an 'envfile' for pam
(`pam 5 pam_env.conf`) which mentions use of HOME being
potentially problematic.
Anyway if the goal is to make things easier for users,
simply do the NIX_PATH modification as extraInit.
This fixes the annoying problems generated by the current approach
(#40165 and others) while hopefully serving the original goal.
One way to check if things are borked is to try:
$ sudo env | grep NIX_PATH
Which (before this change) prints NIX_PATH variable with
an unexpanded $HOME in the value.
-------
This does mean the following won't contain user channels for 'will':
$ sudo -u will nix-instantiate --eval -E builtins.nixPath
However AFAICT currently they won't be present either,
due to unescaped $HOME. Unsure if similar situation for other users
of sessionVariables (not sudo) work with current situation
(if they exist they will regress after this change AFAIK).
Previously single quotes were used by default for aliases and the module
never warned about possible collisions when having a shell alias which
relies on single quotes.
Adding `escapeShellArg` works around this fixes the issue and ensures that a
properly quoted value is written to `/etc/zshrc`.
The socket activation I added to the rspamd module doesn't actually work
and can't be made to work without changes to rspamd.

Evaluation error introduced in 599c4df46a.
There is only a "platformS" attribute in kexectools.meta, so let's use
this and from the code in the kexec module it operates on a list,
matching the corresponding platforms, so this seems to be the attribute
the original author intended.
Tested by building nixos/tests/kexec.nix on x86_64-linux and while it
evaluates now, the test still fails by timing out shortly after the
kexec:
machine: waiting for the VM to finish booting
machine# Cannot find the ESP partition mount point.
This however seems to be an unrelated issue and was also the case before
the commit mentioned above.

Changes the evaluation order in that it evaluates assertions before
warnings, so that eg. the following would work:
{ config, lib, ... }:
{
options.foo = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
default = true;
description = "...";
};
options.bar = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.bool;
default = false;
description = "...";
};
config = lib.mkMerge [
(lib.mkIf config.bar {
system.build.bar = "foobar";
})
(lib.mkIf config.foo {
assertions = lib.singleton {
assertion = config.bar;
message = "Bar needs to be enabled";
};
systemd.services.foo = {
description = "Foo";
serviceConfig.ExecStart = config.system.build.bar;
};
})
];
}
This is because the systemd module includes definitions for warnings
that would trigger evaluation of the config.system.build.bar definition.
The original pull request references a breakage due to the following:
{
services.nixosManual.enable = false;
services.nixosManual.showManual = true;
}
However, changing the eval order between asserts and warnings clearly is
a corner case here and it only happens because of the aforementioned
usage of warnings in the systemd module and needs more discussion.
Nevertheless, this is still useful because it lowers the evaluation time
whenever an assertion is hit, which is a hard failure anyway.
Introduced by 0f3b89bbed.
If services.nixosManual.showManual is enabled and
documentation.nixos.enable is not, there is no
config.system.build.manual available, so evaluation fails. For example
this is the case for the installer tests.
There is however an assertion which should catch exactly this, but it
isn't thrown because the usage of config.system.build.manual is
evaluated earlier than the assertions.
So I split the assertion off into a separate mkIf to make sure it is
shown appropriately and also fixed the installation-device profile to
enable documentation.nixos.

- Use socket-activated epmd - that way there won't be any trouble when
more than one erlang system is used within a single host.
- Use new automation-friendly configuration file format
- Use systemd notifications instead of buggy 'rabbitmqctl wait' for
confirming successful server startup.
'wait' bug: https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/issues/463
- Use 'rabbitmqctl shutdown' instead of 'stop', because it's not
pid-file based
- Use sane systemd unit defaults from RabbitMQ repo:
https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/blob/master/docs/rabbitmq-server.service.example
- Support for external plugins

This breaks evaluation of the tested job:
attribute 'diskInterface' missing, at /nix/store/5k9kk52bv6zsvsyyvpxhm8xmwyn2yjvx-source/pkgs/build-support/vm/default.nix:316:24
Most importantly, this sets PrivateTmp, ProtectHome, and ProtectSystem
so that Chrony flaws are mitigated, should they occur.
Moving to ProtectSystem=full however, requires moving the chrony key
files under /var/lib/chrony -- which should be fine, anyway.
This also ensures ConditionCapability=CAP_SYS_TIME is set, ensuring
that chronyd will only be launched in an environment where such a
capability can be granted.

or else at least the following config will fail with an evaluation error
instead of an assert
```
{
services.nixosManual.enable = false;
services.nixosManual.showManual = true;
}
```
This reverts commit 67c8c49177.
'nix run nixos.firefox' is *not* supposed to work - the Nix 2.x
interface attempts to standardize on nixpkgs.*, to get rid of the
nixos/nixpkgs confusion that existed with the channels interface. So
let's not bring that confusion back.
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`.
Without this the graphical installer has no way to open the manual.
You can fix it yourself by installing any HTML browser but this might
be unfamiliar to users new to NixOS and without any other way to open
the manual. The downside is it will also increase download sizes.

/run/rmilter is set by systemd, and have root:root ownership, which
prevent pid file to write.
This fix suggested to be promoted to 18.09 branch.
(Although rmilter itself is deprecated, and I plan to remove it, after
18.09 would be released)
Add package libratbag and service module ratbagd
Libratbag contains ratbagd daemon and ratbagctl cli to configure
buttons, dpi, leds, etc. of gaming mice.
Add mvnetbiz to maintainers.
The `pkgs.yabar` package is relatively old (2016-04) and contains
several issues fixed on master. `yabar-unstable` containsa recent master
build with several fixes and a lot of new features (I use
`yabar-unstable` for some time now and had no issues with it).
In the upstream bugtracker some bugs could be fixed on ArchLinux by
simply installing `yabar-git` (an AUR package which builds a recent
master).
To stabilize the module, the option `programs.yabar.package` now
defaults to `pkgs.yabar-unstable` and yields a warning with several
linked issues that are known on `pkgs.yabar`.
The test has been refactored as well to ensure that `yabar` actually
starts (and avoid non-deterministic random success) and takes a
screenshot of a very minimalistic configuration on IceWM.
Fixes#46899
This allows the definition of a custom derivation of Exim,
which can be used to enable custom features such as LDAP and PAM support.
The default behaviour remains unchanged (defaulting to pkgs.exim).
10G is not enough for a desktop installation, and resizing a Virtualbox disk image is a pain.
Let's increase the default disk size to 100G. It does not require more storage space, since the empty bits are left out.
