pandoc renders these to multiple docbook paragraphs in a single
definition for the term, not multiple *actual* definitions for the same
term. this is most likely not what is intended here, so let's use
multiple paragraphs instead.
this should be placed before the appendices, not between them. might
even have a good place in the development part, but that's a decision
for another day.
mdoc is just too slow to render on groff, and semantic markup doesn't
help us any for generated pages.
this produces a lot of changes to configuration.nix.5, but only few
rendering changes. most of those seem to be place losing a space where
docbook emitted roff code that did not faithfully represent the input
text, though a few places also gained space where docbook dropped them.
notably we also don't need the compatibility code docbook-xsl emitted
because that problem was fixed over a decade ago.
this will handle block quotes, which the docbook stylesheets turned into
a mess of roff requests that ended up showing up in the output instead
of being processed.
This patch provides input arguments `newuidmapPath` and `newgidmapPath`
for apptainer and singularity to specify the path to the SUID-ed executables
newuidmap and newgidmap where they are not available from the FHS PATH.
As NixOS places those suided executables in a non-FHS position
(/run/wrapper/bin), this patch provides
programs.singularity.enableFakeroot option and implement with the above
input parameters.
Upstream changes:
singularity 3.8.7 (the legacy) -> apptainer 1.1.3 (the renamed) / singularity 3.10.4 (Sylabs's fork)
Build process:
* Share between different sources
* Fix the sed regexp to make defaultPath patch work
* allowGoReference is now true
* Provied input parameter removeCompat (default to false)
that removes the compatible "*singularity*" symbolic links
and related autocompletion files when projectName != "singularity"
* Change localstatedir to /var/lib
* Format with nixpkgs-fmt
* Fix the defaultPath patching
and use it instead of the `<executable> path` config directive
deprecated in Apptainer
* Provide dependencies for new functionalities such as
squashfuse (unprivileged squashfs mount)
* Provide an attribute `defaultPathInputs` to override
prefix of container runtime default PATH
NixOS module programs.singularity:
* Allow users to specify packages
* Place related directories to /var/lib
* Format with nixpkgs-fmt
singularity-tools:
* Allow users to specify packages
* Place related directories to /var/lib when building images in VM
nixos/manual/manpages: add description on previewing manpage files
I was a bit lost with the new manpage format and it took me some time to
find the corresponding pull request by @pennae with a very helpful
comment of @alyssais that mentioned this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/213256#issuecomment-1407713215
As @pennae noted, the file path is only a fallback if it cannot be resolved in the man database

This commit changes from a precompiled bundle to
a source file. Accordingly, the expression file is renamed to `default.nix`
and the old attribute name is changed to `tvbrowser`, the old one being now a
throw-message.
The upstream build script tries to download the news plugin; so, we provide
this and pass it as a parameter.
Given that this is still a piece of a precompiled Java bytecode, along with a
main readable source bundle, `meta.sourceProvenance` is updated accordingly.
since we want to move away from docbook and having docbook manpages
around is going to block further progress we have to translate the
current nixos manpages from docbook it *something* else. mdoc seems the
most appropriate choice since markdown can't represent all the things
manpages can differentiate with even more extensions. if we ever need
html manpages we can render them using troff, like many of the online
manpage viewers, or rewrite them again. since we haven't had html
manpages for any of these in many years that seems unlikely to happen.
unlike most of the recent markdown conversions this comes with a lot of
minor rendering changes, mostly in spacing. docbook-xslt creates manual
pages in a very different dialect than mdoc (which is used here).
As announced in the NixOS 22.11 release notes, 23.05 will switch NixOS
to using nsncd (a non-caching reimplementation in Rust) as NSS lookup
dispatcher, instead of the buggy and deprecated glibc-provided nscd.
If you need to switch back, set `services.nscd.enableNsncd = false`, but
please open an issue in nixpkgs so your issue can be fixed.

This reverts commit 6ae3e7695e.
(and evaluation fixups 08d26bbb727aed90a969)
Some of the tests fail or time out after the merge.
Wordpress bundles some non-essential plugins and themes, then pesters
users to upgrade them. As we make the whole webroot readonly, it is
not possible to trivially delete them. Instead we should have users
explicitly install plugins via the existing nixos module.
this converts meta.doc into an md pointer, not an xml pointer. since we
no longer need xml for manual chapters we can also remove support for
manual chapters from md-to-db.sh
since pandoc converts smart quotes to docbook quote elements and our
nixos-render-docs does not we lose this distinction in the rendered
output. that's probably not that bad, our stylesheet didn't make use of
this anyway (and pre-23.05 versions of the chapters didn't use quote
elements either).
also updates the nixpkgs manual to clarify that option docs support all
extensions (although it doesn't support headings at all, so heading
anchors don't work by extension).
In an effort to better encode version strings and use descriptive pnames
that do not conflict with top level pkgs, we currently use
wordpress-${type}-${pname} for pname. This is good for the nix store,
but when we synthesize the wordpress derivation in our module, we reuse
this pname for the output directory.
Internally wordpress can handle this fine, since plugins must register
via php, not directory. Unfortunately, many plugins like civicrm and
wpforms-lite are designed to rely upon the name of their install
directory for homing or discovery.
As such, we should follow both the upstream convention and
services.nextcloud.extraApps and use an attribute set for these options.
This allows us to not have to deal with the implementation details of
plugins and themes, which differ from official and third party, but also
give users the option to override the install location. The only issue
is that it breaks the current api.
