Quoting from the splitString docstring:
NOTE: this function is not performant and should never be used.
This replaces trivial uses of splitString for splitting version
strings with the (potentially builtin) splitVersion.
The `keys.target` is used to indicate whether all NixOps keys were
successfully uploaded on an unattended reboot. However this can cause
startup issues e.g. with NixOS containers (see #67265) and can block
boots even though this might not be needed (e.g. with a dovecot2
instance running that doesn't need any of the NixOps keys).
As described in the NixOps manual[1], dependencies to keys should be
defined like this now:
``` nix
{
systemd.services.myservice = {
after = [ "secret-key.service" ];
wants = [ "secret-key.service" ];
};
}
```
However I'd leave the issue open until it's discussed whether or not to
keep `keys.target` in `nixpkgs`.

This only sets the timezone when it's not null to prevent:
error: cannot coerce null to a string, at

It hides bugs and do you ever actually want to serve up an empty directory?
It was pretty confusing to me when it tried to write into a read-only store
path because I accidentally pointed it to the wrong store path.
- 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.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
In general, you don't want a .tar.gz file to be served with
"Content-Encoding: x-gzip", because this causes browsers (like Chrome
or "curl --compressed") to decompress the file on the fly. So you end
up with a .tar rather than .tar.gz file, which is unexpected.
If people want such encodings, they should set them in their own NixOS
configuration.
