85ed3ca9c7 libinput.accelProfile: improve docs & new default
The link to some (of course non-existing, i.e. freedesktop) “libinput”
documentation is replaced by a piece of the API documentation.

The default is changed since the documentation suggests `adaptive`
should be it.
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/group__config.html#gad63796972347f318b180e322e35cee79

Also fix a missing string conversion for `scrollButton`.

d8fd06641a gitlab module: split up gitlab-runner script
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.

6711e62d51 nixos manual: add Emacs section (fixes #13217)
In light of Emacs packaging improvements such as those mentioned
in #11503, and with the addition of a systemd service (#15807
and #16356), and considering that the wiki page is completely
out of date (#13217), it seems that some documentation is in order.

grsecurity module: disable EFI runtime services by default
Enabling EFI runtime services provides a venue for injecting code into
the kernel.

When grsecurity is enabled, we close this by default by disabling access
to EFI runtime services.  The upshot of this is that
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars will be unavailable by default (and attempts
to mount it will fail).

This is not strictly a grsecurity related option, it could be made into
a general option, but it seems to be of particular interest to
grsecurity users (for non-grsecurity users, there are other, more
immediate kernel injection attack dangers to contend with anyway).

* Hydra doesn't like spaces in filenames.

* The zip file contained nix/store/.../OEBPS rather than OEBPS at
  top-level, causing some programs (like okular) to barf.

845c9b50bf boot.initrd.luks.devices: Change into an attribute set
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain

  boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";

while configuration.nix can add

  boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;

Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.

Merge pull request #14700: olinks for NixOS manual
This allows to use <olink> tags inside NixOS options to reference
sections from the manual. I've originally introduced it in #14476 to
reference the Taskserver specific documentation from the options
reference but as suggested by @nbp, this was done as a separate pull
request to ensure greater visibility rather than being "hidden" in the
Taskserver branch.

The build time for the manual is around 30s on my machine without this
change and 34s with this change, so it shouldn't have a very big impact
on the build time of the manual.

Olinks between the options reference and the manual now will look like
this:

"More instructions about NixOS in conjuction with Taskserver can be
found in the NixOS manual at Chapter 15, Taskserver."

More documentation about olinks can be found here:

25387a1bed nixos-checkout: Remove
This command was useful when NixOS was spread across multiple

happens, i.e. "git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git").

Merge pull request #14476 (taskserver)
This adds a Taskserver module along with documentation and a small
helper tool which eases managing a custom CA along with Taskserver
organisations, users and groups.

Taskserver is the server component of Taskwarrior, a TODO list
application for the command line.

The work has been started by @matthiasbeyer back in mid 2015 and I have
continued to work on it recently, so this merge contains commits from
both of us.

Thanks particularly to @nbp and @matthiasbeyer for reviewing and
suggesting improvements.

I've tested this with the new test (nixos/tests/taskserver.nix) this
branch adds and it fails because of the changes introduced by the
closure-size branch, so we need to do additional work on base of this.

nixos/doc: Revert allowing olinks from options
This reverts commit 1d77dcaed3.

It will be reintroduced along with #14700 as a separate branch, as
suggested by @nbp.

I added this to this branch because I thought it was a necessary
dependency, but it turns out that the build of the manual/manpages still
succeeds and merely prints a warning like this:

warning: failed to load external entity "olinkdb.xml"
Olink error: could not open target database 'olinkdb.xml'.
Error: unresolved olink: targetdoc/targetptr = 'manual/module-taskserver'.

The olink itself will be replaced by "???", so users looking at the
description of the option in question will still see the reference to
the NixOS manual, like this:

More instructions about NixOS in conjuction with Taskserver can be found
in the NixOS manual at ???.

nixos/doc: Allow refs from options to the manual
My first attempt to do this was to just use a conditional <refsection/>
in order to not create exact references in the manpage but create the
reference in the HTML manual, as suggested by @edolstra on IRC.

Later I went on to use <olink/> to reference sections of the manual, but
in order to do that, we need to overhaul how we generate the manual and
manpages.

So, that's where we are now:

There is a new derivation called "manual-olinkdb", which is the olinkdb
for the HTML manual, which in turn creates the olinkdb.xml file and the
manual.db. The former contains the targetdoc references and the latter
the specific targetptr elements.

The reason why I included the olinkdb.xml verbatim is that first of all
the DTD is dependent on the Docbook XSL sources and the references
within the olinkdb.xml entities are relative to the current directory.

So using a store path for that would end up searching for the manual.db
directly in /nix/store/manual.db.

Unfortunately, the <olinks/> that end up in the output file are
relative, so for example if you're clicking on one of these within the
PDF, the URL is searched in the current directory.

However, the sections from the olink's text are still valid, so we could
use an alternative URL for that in the future.

The manual doesn't contain any links, so even referencing the relative
URL shouldn't do any harm.
