This does break the API of being able to import any lib file and get
its libs, however I'm not sure people did this.
I made this while exploring being able to swap out docFn with a stub
in #2305, to avoid functor performance problems. I don't know if that
is going to move forward (or if it is a problem or not,) but after
doing all this work figured I'd put it up anyway :)
Two notable advantages to this approach:
1. when a lib inherits another lib's functions, it doesn't
automatically get put in to the scope of lib
2. when a lib implements a new obscure functions, it doesn't
automatically get put in to the scope of lib
Using the test script (later in this commit) I got the following diff
on the API:
+ diff master fixed-lib
11764a11765,11766
> .types.defaultFunctor
> .types.defaultTypeMerge
11774a11777,11778
> .types.isOptionType
> .types.isType
11781a11786
> .types.mkOptionType
11788a11794
> .types.setType
11795a11802
> .types.types
This means that this commit _adds_ to the API, however I can't find a
way to fix these last remaining discrepancies. At least none are
_removed_.

* lib: introduce imap0, imap1
For historical reasons, imap starts counting at 1 and it's not
consistent with the rest of the lib.
So for now we split imap into imap0 that starts counting at zero and
imap1 that starts counting at 1. And imap is marked as deprecated.
See c71e2d4235 (commitcomment-21873221)
* replace uses of lib.imap
* lib: move imap to deprecated.nix
Nix style seems to have settled on not using spaces between bound
variable names and the lambda : so I also tried to make those somewhat
more consistent throughout.
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.

value is a list while a Boolean was expected
When displaying a warning about a removed Option we should always
include reasoning why it was removed and how to get the same
functionality without it.
Introduces such a description argument and patches occurences (mostly
with an empty string).
startGnuPGAgent: further notes on replacement
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.
Option aliases/deprecations can now be declared in any NixOS module,
not just in nixos/modules/rename.nix. This is more modular (since it
allows for example grub-related aliases to be declared in the grub
module), and allows aliases outside of NixOS (e.g. in NixOps modules).
The syntax is a bit funky. Ideally we'd have something like:
options = {
foo.bar.newOption = mkOption { ... };
foo.bar.oldOption = mkAliasOption [ "foo" "bar" "newOption" ];
};
but that's not possible because options cannot define values in
*other* options - you need to have a "config" for that. So instead we
have functions that return a *module*: mkRemovedOptionModule,
mkRenamedOptionModule and mkAliasOptionModule. These can be used via
"imports", e.g.
imports = [
(mkAliasOptionModule [ "foo" "bar" "oldOption" ] [ "foo" "bar" "newOption" ]);
];
As an added bonus, deprecation warnings now show the file name of the
offending module.
Fixes#10385.
This move idioms which were used in `evalOptionValue` and in the `merge`
functions of `listOf` and `attrsOf` types, such that we can use a names such
as `isDefined` and `optionalValue` instead or repeating identical
comparisons of `defsFinal == []`.
The current implementation of the ApplyIfFunction is looking at the
arguments of a module to decide which arguments should be given to each
module. This patch make sure that we do not wrap a submodule function in
order to keep functionArgs working as expected.
Ideally the module system could be configured pretty much completely by
the contents of the modules themselves, so add comments about avoiding
complicating it further and possibly removing now-redundant
configurability from the existing interface.
This allows for module arguments to be handled modularly, in particular
allowing the nixpkgs module to handle the nixpkgs import internally.
This creates the __internal option namespace, which should only be added
to by the module system itself.
This makes the relationship between property types clearer, and more
importantly will let option types parameterized by other option types
reuse the code for delegated type checking and merging.
Now we should be able to have multiple declaration of the same option as
long as all declarations have the same type. If the type has a sub module,
then it is merged with the submodules of other declarations, as done with
option sets.
In addition, the file of the option declaration is passed into the
submodule, such as the documentation can display it correctly.
This modification improves NixOS manual by listing in which file, each
submodule option is declared. This solve the issue that files are not
reported when looking at options such as fileSystems.<name?>.neededForBoot
E.g.
The unique option `fileSystems./.device' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' and `/etc/nixos/foo.nix'.
This requires passing file/value tuples to the merge functions.
Now that overriding fileSystems in qemu-vm.nix works again, it's
important that the VM tests that add additional file systems use the
same override priority. Instead of using the same magic constant
everywhere, they can now use mkVMOverride.
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6695561
For instance, if time.timeZone is defined multiple times, you now get
the error message:
error: user-thrown exception: The unique option `time.timeZone' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/x11vnc.nix' and `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix'.
while previously you got:
error: user-thrown exception: Multiple definitions of string. Only one is allowed for this option.
and only an inspection of the stack trace gave a clue as to what
option caused the problem.
Also, when an option definition fails to type-check, print the file
name of the module in which the offending definition occurs, e.g.
error: user-thrown exception: The option value `boot.loader.grub.version' in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' is not a integer.
The major changes are:
* The evaluation is now driven by the declared options. In
particular, this fixes the long-standing problem with lack of
laziness of disabled option definitions. Thus, a configuration like
config = mkIf false {
environment.systemPackages = throw "bla";
};
will now evaluate without throwing an error. This also improves
performance since we're not evaluating unused option definitions.
* The implementation of properties is greatly simplified.
* There is a new type constructor "submodule" that replaces
"optionSet". Unlike "optionSet", "submodule" gets its option
declarations as an argument, making it more like "listOf" and other
type constructors. A typical use is:
foo = mkOption {
type = type.attrsOf (type.submodule (
{ config, ... }:
{ bar = mkOption { ... };
xyzzy = mkOption { ... };
}));
};
Existing uses of "optionSet" are automatically mapped to
"submodule".
* Modules are now checked for unsupported attributes: you get an error
if a module contains an attribute other than "config", "options" or
"imports".
* The new implementation is faster and uses much less memory.
