The section was strange to read, as the initial example already used
`listOf' which is mentioned in the very first paragraph. Then you read
in a subsection about `listOf' and the exact same example is given
once again.
This is a squash commit of the joint work from:

This commit readds and updates the 1.x package from 1.1.4 to 1.1.6 which
also includes the needed command for migrating to 2.x
The module is adjusted to the version change, defaulting to radicale2 if
stateVersion >= 17.09 and radicale1 otherwise. It also now uses
ExecStart instead of the script service attribute. Some missing dots at
the end of sentences were also added.
I added a paragraph in the release notes on how to update to a newer
version.
This change updates the instructions for building a NixOS ISO so that it's clear how to do it.
Previously, the instructions stated to set NIXOS_CONFIG prior to running `nix-build`, yet the example provided by-passed NIXOS_CONFIG anyway. But the *really* important missing piece is the need for nixos/default.nix. See #21840.
This change removes the NIXOS_CONFIG verbiage, and adds steps to clone nixpkgs and (most importantly) cd'ing into nixpkgs/nixos. That way, the reader may think: *Oh, so I need a default.nix and a configuration.nix. Ahhh, OK.*
I purposely added the redundant default.nix argument.
* postgresql service: make 9.6 the default version for 17.09
* postgresql service: change default superuser for 17.09
Change the default superuser from `root` to `postgres` for state
version 17.09
* postgresql service: change default data directory for 17.09
The new directory includes the schema version of the database.
This makes upgrades easier and is more consistent with other distros.
* updated nixos release notes
... because `nixos-generate-config` currently understand it's running under virtualbox, and correctly adds the configuration in `/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix`
When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.
However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.
This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:
* XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
* SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
* XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
taskbar on the primary monitor
These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.
The changes are also backwards-compatible.
The xrandrHeads option has been there since a long time, so there is no
need to advertise it as a new feature.
Instead, let's focus on just what has changed, which is that we now
assign one head to be primary.

The inability to run strace or gdb is the kind of
developer-unfriendliness that we're used to from OS X, let's not do it
on NixOS.
This restriction can be re-enabled by setting
boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope" = 1;
It might be nice to have a NixOS module for enabling hardened defaults.
Xref #14392.
Thanks @abbradar.
This is based on a prototype Nicolas B. Pierron worked on during a
discussion we had at FOSDEM.
A new version with a workaround for problems of the reverted original.

If a package's meta has `knownVulnerabilities`, like so:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "foobar-1.2.3";
...
meta.knownVulnerabilities = [
"CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution"
"CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation"
];
}
and a user attempts to install the package, they will be greeted with
a warning indicating that maybe they don't want to install it:
error: Package ‘foobar-1.2.3’ in ‘...default.nix:20’ is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.
Known issues:
- CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution
- CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation
You can install it anyway by whitelisting this package, using the
following methods:
a) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ‘foobar-1.2.3’ to
`nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
like so:
{
nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
"foobar-1.2.3"
];
}
b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
‘foobar-1.2.3’ to `permittedInsecurePackages` in
~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, like so:
{
permittedInsecurePackages = [
"foobar-1.2.3"
];
}
Adding either of these configurations will permit this specific
version to be installed. A third option also exists:
NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1 nix-build ...
though I specifically avoided having a global file-based toggle to
disable this check. This way, users don't disable it once in order to
get a single package, and then don't realize future packages are
insecure.
Add link to "Configuration" chapter from "Changing the Configuration" section.
Also, fix grammar error.

From Postfix documentation:
With this setting, the Postfix SMTP server will not reject mail with "User
unknown in local recipient table". Don't do this on systems that receive mail
directly from the Internet. With today's worms and viruses, Postfix will become
a backscatter source: it accepts mail for non-existent recipients and then
tries to return that mail as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender
address.
The tag wasn't properly closed which caused the manual build to fail.
Tested with: nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
