By setting useRealVendorConfig explicitly to true, the actual (slightly
modified) config generated by cargo-vendor is used.
This solves a problem, where the static vendor config in
pkgs/build-support/rust/default.nix would not sufficiently replace all
crates Cargo is looking for.
As useRealVendorConfig (and writeVendorConfig in fetchcargo) default to
false, there should be no breakage in existing cargoSha256 hashes.
Nethertheless, imho using this new feature should become standard. A
possible deprecation path could be:
- introduce this patch
- set useRealVendorConfig explicitly to false whereever cargoSha256 is
set but migration is not wanted yet.
- after some time, let writeVendorConfig default to true
- when useRealVendorConfig is true everywhere cargoSha256 is set and
enough time is passed, `assert cargoVendorDir == null ->
useRealVendorConfig;`, remove old behaviour
- after some time, remove all appearences of useRealVendorConfig and the
parameter itself
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.

That way the built-in web server is usable by default but users can use
$HOME/web directly (instead of having to use a symlink), if they want to
customize the webpage.
Without a group the gid will default to 65534 (2^16 - 2) which maps to
"nogroup". IMO it makes more sense to explicitly set a valid group.
Adding pkgs.sks to environment.systemPackages is not required (IIRC we
want to avoid bloating environment.systemPackages). Instead it seems
like a better idea to make the relevant binaries available to the user
sks and enable useDefaultShell so that "su -l sks" can be used for
manual interaction (that way the files will always have the correct
owner).
Take two of #40708 (4fe2898608).
That PR attempted to bidirectionally default `config.nixpkgs.system` and
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system` to each be updated by the other. But
this is not possible with the way the module system works. Divergence in
certain cases in inevitable.
This PR is more conservative and just has `system` default `localSystem`
and `localSystem` make the final call as-is. This solves a number of
issues.
- `localSystem` completely overrides `system`, just like with nixpkgs
proper. There is no need to specify `localSystem.system` to clobber the
old system.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is exactly what is passed to nixpkgs. No
spooky steps.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is elaborated just as nixpkgs would so
that all attributes are available, not just the ones the user
specified.
The remaining issue is just that `config.nixpkgs.system` doesn't update
based on `config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system`. It should never be
referred to lest it is a bogus stale value because
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem` overwrites it.
Fixes#46320
This adds several improvements the previously introduced
`services.weechat` module:
* Dropped `services.weechat.init` as the initialization script can now
be done on package-level since 2af41719bc using the `configure`
function.
* Added `sessionName` option to explicitly configure a name for the
`screen` session (by default: weechat-screen).
* Added `binary` option to configure the binary name (e.g.
`weechat-headless`).
* Added docs regarding `screen` session and `weechat.service`.
Previously it was only possible to use very simple Riemann config.
For more complicated scenarios you need a directory of clojure
files and the config file that riemann starts with should be in this
directory.
This fixes an issue with shells like fish that are not fully POSIX
compliant. The syntax `ENV=val cmd' doesn't work properly in there.
This issue has been addressed in #45932 and #45945, however it has been
recommended to use a single shell (`stdenv.shell' which is either
`bash' or `sh') to significantly reduce the maintenance overload in the
future.

A sporadic failure occured on Hydra because a request was sent
to smtpd after the systemd unit was started, but before the daemon
was actually listening. Fix by checking for open ports first.

Some programs like eog seem to need dconf accessible on dbus.
Without this change I get
(eog:1738): dconf-WARNING **: 21:20:52.770: failed to commit changes to
dconf: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
ca.desrt.dconf was not provided by any .service files
This adds a release notes entry to make users (and especially
developers) aware so they no longer need to use </para><para> in option
descriptions as this is now done automatically on every two consecutive
newlines.
