* The ELK stack is upgraded to 6.3.2.
* `elasticsearch6`, `logstash6` and `kibana6` now come with X-Pack which is
a suite of additional features. These are however licensed under the unfree
"Elastic License".
* Fortunately they also provide OSS versions which are now packaged
under: `elasticsearch6-oss`, `logstash6-oss` and `kibana6-oss`.
Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream.
* The test `nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6` will test the OSS
version by default. You can also run the test on the unfree ELK using:
`NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 nix-build nixos/tests/elk.nix -A ELK-6 --arg enableUnfree true`
This reverts commit 095fe5b43def40279a243e663c662b02caac5318.
Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to
spend extra work updating their configs for no benefit, and hindering
the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.
Like, what was the value of having the "nixos." there? I mean, by
definition anything in a NixOS module has something to do with NixOS...
Having socket-activated epmd means that there always be only a single
instance managed centrally. Because Erlang also starts it
automatically if not available, and in worst case scenario 'epmd' can
be started by some Erlang application running under systemd. And then
restarting this application unit will cause complete loss of names in
'epmd' (if other Erlang system are also installed on this host).
E.g. see at which lengths RabbitMQ goes to recover from such
situations:
7741b37b1e/src/rabbit_epmd_monitor.erl (L36)
Having the only one socket-activated epmd completely solves this
problem.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl

Problem: Restarting (stopping) system.slice would not only stop X11 but
also most system units/services. We obviously don't want this happening
to users when they switch from 18.03 to 18.09 or nixos-unstable.
Reason: The following change in systemd:
d8e5a93382
The commit adds system.slice to the perpetual units, which means
removing the unit file and adding it to the source code. This is done so
that system.slice can't be stopped anymore but in our case it ironically
would cause this script to stop system.slice because the unit file was
removed (and an older systemd version is still running).
