these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running

nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
markdown can't represent the difference without another extension and
both the html manual and the manpage render them the same, so keeping the
distinction is not very useful on its own. with the distinction removed
we can automatically convert many options that use <code> tags to markdown.
the manpage remains unchanged, html manual does not render
differently (but class names on code tags do change from "code" to "literal").
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
hostNames being deprecated makes configuring hosts with multiple keys a
pain. including the attr name of the entry in the host name list is a
nice convenience though, so we'll retain it and clarify the
documentation on how the actual host name list for an entry is put
together.
The programs.ssh.knownHosts.*.publicKeyFile is broken, because it's
scoped to a set of host names, but to insert those host names on each
line of the file we'd have to parse out blank lines and comments, so
only the first line works. It would be much easier all round if users
just provided known hosts files in the normal format, and we pointed
ssh directly to them. This way, it would be possible to have multiple
keys for a single host (which is extremely common due to multiple
algorithms being commonplace).
We add an option for this instead of relying on extraConfig, because
we need to make sure /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts is always included to
ensure programs.ssh.knownHosts keeps working.
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2 is another OpenSSH default that seems a bit
weird, but there's no real reason to change that so we'll leave it.
Previously, this was only implicitly enabled if xserver.enable = true.
However, Wayland-based desktops do not require this, and so configuring
SSH_ASKPASS on a Wayland desktop becomes cumbersome. This simplifies
that by adding a new option that defaults to the old conditional.
The wrapper for ssh-askpass did not pass arguments to the real
ssh-askpass, therefore the generic "Please enter your authentication
passphrase" prompt was displayed for all requests (including the key
usage confirmation requests, which don't need the passphrase), and some
important information such as the key name was not displayed.
If you want to be able to use OpenSC with ssh-agent, you need to be able
to add it to the ssh-agent whitelist. This adds an option,
agentPKCS11Whitelist, that exposes the option.
Note that I currently work around this by injecting the parameter into
the agentTimeout option:
programs.ssh.agentTimeout = "1h -P ${pkgs.opensc}/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so";
but I feel that a proper option would be better :)
Otherwise, the standard options (e.g. AddressFamily) cannot be overriden
in extraConfig, as the option is applied on the first (not most
specific) match. Closes#52267
While systemd suggests using the pre-defined graphical-session user
target, I found that this interface is difficult to use. Additionally,
no other major distribution, even in their unstable versions, currently
use this mechanism.
The window or desktop manager is supposed to run in a systemd user service
which activates graphical-session.target and the user services that are
binding to this target. The issue is that we can't elegantly pass the
xsession environment to the window manager session, in particular
whereas the PassEnvironment option does work for DISPLAY, it for some
mysterious reason won't for PATH.
This commit implements a new graphical user target that works just like
default.target. Services which should be run in a graphical session just
need to declare wantedBy graphical.target. The graphical target will be
activated in the xsession before executing the window or display manager.
Fixes#17858.
SSH expects a new line at the end of known_hosts file.
Without a new line the next entry goes on the same line
as the last entry in known_hosts causing errors.
The configuration { services.openssh.enable = true;
services.openssh.forwardX11 = false; } caused
programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation to be set to false, which was not the
intent. The intent is that programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation should be
automatically enabled if needed or if xauth is already available.
This reverts most of 89e983786a, as those references are sanitized now.
Fixes#10039, at least most of it.
The `sane` case wasn't fixed, as it calls a *function* in pkgs to get
the default value.
