So far we were merely printing a warning if there are still references
to (/usr)/s?bin, but we actually want to make sure that we fix those
paths, especially on updates of packages that come with udev rules.
This adds a new option allowImpurePaths, which when set to false will
cause the "udev-rules" derivation to fail.
I've set this to true by default, to not break existing systems too much
and the intention is to set it to false for a few NixOS VM tests.

We were trying to find FHS references in all of the rules found in
services.udev.packages. Unfortunately we're still fixing up paths in the
same derivation where we are checking those references, so for example
references to /sbin/modprobe were still printed to be needed to fixup
even though they were already fixed at the time.
So now we're printing a more helpful warning message which is also
conditional (before the warning message was printed regardless of
whether there are any rules that need fixup) and is based off the rules
that were already fixed up.
The new warning message not only contains the build-local rule files but
also the original files from other store paths and the FHS path
references that were still found.
With 8ecd3a5e1d reverted, we now get this:
/nix/store/...-udev-rules/63-md-raid-arrays.rules (originally from
/nix/store/...-mdadm-3.3.4/lib/udev/rules.d/63-md-raid-arrays.rules)
contains references to /usr/bin/readlink and /usr/bin/basename.
Which is now more accurate to what is not yet fixed and where it's
coming from.

In 8ecd3a5, we fixed up the FHS paths for stage 1, but unfortunately we
have a similar udev rules generator twice one for the initrd and one
without. So we might need to refactor this in the future.
For now, let's just fix the references to readlink and basename in the
udev module as well until we have properly addressed this.

Fixes: #12722
- Fixed a bug in bluedevil (link to a .js file)
- Made bluez5 the default bluetooth service except for kde4
- created org.bluez.obex systemd dbus service
- Patched bluez5 using bluez-5.37-obexd_without_systemd-1.patch
in order to enable obex when using either the bluedevil plasmoid
or dolpin file manager within plasma workspaces 5.
The functionality was tested using a Sony Xperia Z, the machine
and the handset paired and two different files were sent in both
directions successfully.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
- systemd puts all into one output now (except for man),
because I wasn't able to fix all systemd/udev refernces
for NixOS to work well
- libudev is now by default *copied* into another path,
which is what most packages will use as build input :-)
- pkgs.udev = [ libudev.out libudev.dev ]; because there are too many
references that just put `udev` into build inputs (to rewrite them all),
also this made "${udev}/foo" fail at *evaluation* time
so it's easier to catch and change to something more specific
It seems that with the latest update to `udisks2`, the ExecStart path
for the daemon changed from `/lib/udisks2` to `/libexec/udisks2`. This
commit reflects that change for our purposes.
If a kernel without CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER set is used with NixOS, the file
/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug does not exist. Before writing to it to disable
this deprecated mechanism, we have to ensure it actually exists because
otherwise the activation script will fail.

You disable the assignment of fixed names, so that the unpredictable
kernel names are used again. For this, simply mask udev's rule file for
the default policy: ln -s /dev/null
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules (since v209: this file was
called 80-net-name-slot.rules in release v197 through v208)

Option defaults should not refer to store paths, because they cause
the manual to be rebuilt gratuitously. It's especially bad to refer to
a highly variable path like a computed configuration file.
The ability for unprivileged users to mount external media is useful
regardless of the desktop environment. Also, since udisks2 is
activated on-demand, it doesn't add any overhead if you're not using it.
If you define a unit, and either systemd or a package in
systemd.packages already provides that unit, then we now generate a
file /etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/overrides.conf. This makes it
possible to use upstream units, while allowing them to be customised
from the NixOS configuration. For instance, the module nix-daemon.nix
now uses the units provided by the Nix package. And all unit
definitions that duplicated upstream systemd units are finally gone.
This makes the baseUnit option unnecessary, so I've removed it.
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
Latest update to udisks in 344f2e65 broke it for me. Fix it by doing the
following:
- Add udisks.service to /etc/systemd/system (via systemd.packages)
- Fix path to udisks-daemon in udisks.service (libexec/ instead of lib/)
You can now say:
systemd.containers.foo.config =
{ services.openssh.enable = true;
services.openssh.ports = [ 2022 ];
users.extraUsers.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "ssh-dss ..." ];
};
which defines a NixOS instance with the given configuration running
inside a lightweight container.
You can also manage the configuration of the container independently
from the host:
systemd.containers.foo.path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/containers/foo";
where "path" is a NixOS system profile. It can be created/updated by
doing:
$ nix-env --set -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/containers/foo \
-f '<nixos>' -A system -I nixos-config=foo.nix
The container configuration (foo.nix) should define
boot.isContainer = true;
to optimise away the building of a kernel and initrd. This is done
automatically when using the "config" route.
On the host, a lightweight container appears as the service
"container-<name>.service". The container is like a regular NixOS
(virtual) machine, except that it doesn't have its own kernel. It has
its own root file system (by default /var/lib/containers/<name>), but
shares the Nix store of the host (as a read-only bind mount). It also
has access to the network devices of the host.
Currently, if the configuration of the container changes, running
"nixos-rebuild switch" on the host will cause the container to be
rebooted. In the future we may want to send some message to the
container so that it can activate the new container configuration
without rebooting.
Containers are not perfectly isolated yet. In particular, the host's
/sys/fs/cgroup is mounted (writable!) in the guest.
(systemd service descriptions that is, not service descriptions in "man
configuration.nix".)
Capitalizing each word in the description seems to be the accepted
standard.
Also shorten these descriptions:
* "Munin node, the agent process" => "Munin Node"
* "Planet Venus, an awesome ‘river of news’ feed reader" => "Planet Venus Feed Reader"
