The standard attrsOf is strict in its *values*, meaning it's impossible to
access only one attribute value without evaluating all others as well.
lazyAttrsOf is a version that doesn't have that problem, at the expense
of conditional definitions not properly working anymore.
This reverts commit eec83d41e3.
This broke hydra evaluation because with this commit submodule values
are allowed to be paths, however the certmgr module uses `either
(submodule ...) path` in its type, meaning it already used paths for
something else which would now be interpreted as a submodule.
When installing a fresh NixOS system it occasionally happens that you
encounter issues that are rather hard to track down since
`nixos-install(8)` doesn't provide any debugging flags.
This patch adds `-L` to force `nix build` to display the build-log on
stderr and `-v` to increase the log-level of Nix.
While it's a good idea to automate the linting of the python code used
for our tests, I think that it can be quite distracting when hacking on
a NixOS test.
I figured that it might be more convenient to add an option as a
shortcut for this to avoid that everyone needs to dig into the test
driver again.
Deperecates the interfaces option which was used to generate a host:port
list whereas the port was always hardcoded to 53. This unifies the
listen configuration for plain and TLS sockets and allows to specify a
port without an address for wildcard binds.
This makes ~2.5x speed up of an empty container instantiate, hence reduces
rebuild time of system with many declarative containers.
Note that this doesn't affect production systems much, becaseu those most
likely already include `minimal.nix` profile.
The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/75075.
To summarize the report in the aforementioned issue, at a glance,
it's a different default than what upstream polkit has. Apparently
for 8+ years polkit defaults admin identities as members of
the wheel group [0]. This assumption would be appropriate on NixOS, where
every member of group 'wheel' is necessarily privileged.

This cuts down the dependency tree on some rust builds where a crate not
just exposes a binary but also a library. `$out/lib` contained a bunch
of extra support files that among other information carry linker flags
(including the full path to link-time dependencies). Worst case this led
to some binary outputs depending on the full build closure of rust
crates.
Moving all the `$out/lib` files to `$lib/lib` solves this nicely.
`lib` might be a bit weird here as they are most of the time just rlib
files (rust libraries). Those are essential only required during
compilation but they can also be shared objects (like with traditional
C-style packages). Which is why I went with `lib` for the new output.
One of the caveats we are running into here is that we do not (always)
know ahead of time of a crate produces just a library or just a binary.
Cargo allows for some ambiguity regarding whether or not a crate
provides one, two, … binaries and libraries as it's outputs. Ideally we
would be able to rely on the `crateType` entirely but so far that isn't
the case. More work on that area might show how difficult that actually
is.
This is a more sane default since we do not magically (without opt-in)
pull in binaries from `~/bin`. That is not really an expected behavior
for many users. Users that still want that behavior can now just flip
that switch.
osquery was marked as broken since April.
If somebody steps up to fix it, we can always revive it from the
histroy, but there's not much value in shipping completely broken things
in current master.

The package set is not maintained. It is also not used by most of the
BEAM community. Removing it to allow a more useful set of tools fit to
the BEAM community in Nixpkgs.
Add --use-remote-sudo option. When set, remote commands will be prefixed
with 'sudo'. This allows using sudo remotely _without_ having to use
sudo locally (when using --build-host/--taget-host).
Also add --all, which shows the value of all options. Diffing the --all
output on either side of contemplated changes is a lovely way to better
understand what's going on inside nixos.
Before, we very carefully unapplied and reapplied `set -u` so the rest
of Nixpkgs could continue to not fail on undefined variables. Let's rip
off the band-aid.
Just maching all network interfaces caused many breakages, see #18962
and #71106.
We already don't support the global networking.useDHCP,
networking.defaultGateway(6) options if networking.useNetworkd is
enabled, but direct users to configure the per-device
networking.interfaces.<name?>.… options.
Even though the release obviously already happened, I think it might
still make sense to add a short note about the attributes not being
supported any longer (and going forward).

This option was removed because allowing (multiple) regular users to
override host entries affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack
vector. There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful.
Consider setting system-wide host entries using networking.hosts,
provide them via the DNS server in your network, or use
networking.networkmanager.appendNameservers to point your system to
another (local) nameserver to set those entries.
