Previously this barfed with:
updating GRUB 2 menu...
fileparse(): need a valid pathname at /nix/store/zldbbngl0f8g5iv4rslygxwp0dbg1624-install-grub.pl line 391.
warning: error(s) occured while switching to the new configuration
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
mmc_block and sdhci_acpi are both necessary for a Bay Trail Chromebook with an
internal eMMC drive. The sdhci_acpi module is detectable but I can not figure
out a way to check whether the mmc_block module is needed by just looking at
/sys/
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.
- systemd puts all into one output now (except for man),
because I wasn't able to fix all systemd/udev refernces
for NixOS to work well
- libudev is now by default *copied* into another path,
which is what most packages will use as build input :-)
- pkgs.udev = [ libudev.out libudev.dev ]; because there are too many
references that just put `udev` into build inputs (to rewrite them all),
also this made "${udev}/foo" fail at *evaluation* time
so it's easier to catch and change to something more specific
This way the binary gets stripped & rpath-shrinked etc. as usual.
We'd seem to get a runtime reference to gcc otherwise.
TODO: Maybe we should be able to set e.g. 'dontUnpack = true;'
to make this more pretty.
Adding the configuration option 'systemd.generators' to
specify systemd system-generators. The option allows to
either add new system-generators to systemd, or to over-
ride or disable the system-generators provided by systemd.
Internally, the configuration option 'systemd.generators'
maps onto the 'environment.etc' configuration option.
Having a convenience wrapper around 'environment.etc' helps
to group the systemd system-generator configuration more
easily with other 'systemd...' configurations.
$d should be $sd, this causes resume from hibernate to fail if
resumeDevice is not explicitly set in config. Introduced in commit:

When using extlinux-conf-builder in a nix build using chroots, the
following error message could be seen:
/nix/store/XXX-extlinux-conf-builder.sh: line 121: cd: /nix/var/nix/profiles: No such file or directory
To avoid this, just skip the code path parsing /nix/var/nix/profiles
when $numGenerations (passed from the command line) is 0 (which is the
only legal value of $numGenerations in a nix build context).
Without a menu title, U-Boot's distro scripts just autoboot the first
entry by default.
When I initially wrote this, my board wasn't apparently running stock
U-Boot but had some local hacks saved in the U-Boot's environment
which made it always display the prompt.
