Programs written in Nim are built with libraries selected by lockfiles. The nimPackages and nim2Packages sets have been removed. See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#nim for more information.
The Yama LSM is now enabled by default in the kernel, which prevents ptracing non-child processes. This means you will not be able to attach gdb to an existing process, but will need to start that process from gdb (so it is a child). Or you can set boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope" to 0.
Gitea 1.21 upgrade has several breaking changes, including:
- Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in custom/public/* now belong in custom/public/assets/*
- New instances of Gitea using MySQL now ignore the [database].CHARSET config option and always use the utf8mb4 charset, existing instances should migrate via the gitea doctor convert CLI command.
The hardware.pulseaudio module now sets permission of pulse user home directory to 755 when running in "systemWide" mode. It fixes issue 114399.
