We separate the different steps (injecting the toplevel and injecting
the specialisations) so that it's easy to document what each snippet is
actually doing.
most of these are hidden because they're either part of a submodule that
doesn't have its type rendered (eg because the submodule type is used in
an either type) or because they are explicitly hidden. some of them are
merely hidden from nix-doc-munge by how their option is put together.
most of the screen tags used in option docs are actually listings of
some sort. nsd had a notable exception where its screen usage was pretty
much a raw markdown block that made most sense to convert into docbook lists.
Call dbus by using `$cur_systemd/busctl --json=...` and core modules
JSON::PP and IPC::Cmd to slim down dependencies for baseSystem.
perlPackages.NetDBus pulls in quite a few other dependencies, like
XML::Twig, LWP, and HTTP::Daemon. These are not really neccecary for
s-t-c, and some of them have caused issues particularly with cross
builds after updates to perlPackages.
our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
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.
Use a quoted heredoc to inject installBootLoader safely into the script,
and restore the previous invocation of `system` with a single argument so
that shell commands keep working.
This bug is so obscure and unlikely that I was honestly not able to
properly write a test for it. What happens is that we are calling
handleModifiedUnit() with $unitsToStart=\%unitsToRestart. We do this to
make sure that the unit is stopped before it's started again which is
not possible by regular means because the stop phase is already done
when calling the activation script.
recordUnit() still gets $startListFile, however which is the wrong file.
The bug would be triggered if an activation script requests a service
restart for a service that has `stopIfChanged = true` and
switch-to-configuration is killed before the restart phase was run. If
the script is run again, but the activation script is not requesting
more restarts, the unit would be started instead of restarted.
