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.
Included changes:
* upstream repository has moved, URLs changed accordingly
* journaldriver bumped to new upstream release
The new release includes an important workaround for an issue that
could cause log-forwarding to fail after service restarts due to
invalid journal cursors being persisted.
Adds a module for running the journaldriver log forwarding agent via
systemd.
The agent can be deployed on both GCP instances and machines hosted
elsewhere to forward all logs from journald to Stackdriver Logging.
Consult the module options and upstream documentation for more
information.
Implementation notes:
* The service unit is configured to use systemd's dynamic user feature
which will let systemd set up the state directory and appropriate
user configuration at unit launch time instead of hardcoding it.
* The module depends on `network-online.target` to prevent a situation
where journaldriver is failing and restarting multiple times before
the network is online.
