Niklas Hambüchen 7cfaba911d manual: Hardening: Remove now-nonexistent ArchWiki link.
The page has been replaced by the much more general page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security#Packages
which is barely talking about hardening flags any more.

Niklas Hambüchen ac36a0f9eb manual: hardening: Fix disabled flags prose being in previous section
This confused the hell out of me, as I didn't spot the

> The following flags are disabled by default ...

when reading about `pie`, because that sentence was hidden in the
previous hardening flag's section.

Also explain that `pie` hardening is on by default on musl.

Alyssa Ross b0b5ef7286 stdenv: introduce dontAddStaticConfigureFlags
With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package
that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared,
without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_
in pkgs/top-level/static.nix.

It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if
we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions
themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix.  This
is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require
multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv
options.

So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described
above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv
option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags.  With this mechanism, a package
that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set
dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually
based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic.

doc: prepare for commonmark
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.

Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist

While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.

Recover the complicated situation after my bad merge
I made a mistake merge.  Reverting it in c778945806 undid the state
on master, but now I realize it crippled the git merge mechanism.
As the merge contained a mix of commits from `master..staging-next`
and other commits from `staging-next..staging`, it got the
`staging-next` branch into a state that was difficult to recover.

I reconstructed the "desired" state of staging-next tree by:
 - checking out the last commit of the problematic range: 4effe769e2
 - `git rebase -i --preserve-merges a8a018ddc0` - dropping the mistaken
   merge commit and its revert from that range (while keeping
   reapplication from 4effe769e2)
 - merging the last unaffected staging-next commit (803ca85c20)
 - fortunately no other commits have been pushed to staging-next yet
 - applying a diff on staging-next to get it into that state

Revert "Merge #101508: libraw: 0.20.0 -> 0.20.2"
I'm sorry; I didn't notice it contained staging commits.

This reverts commit 17f5305b6c, reversing
changes made to a8a018ddc0.

Lily Ballard 7e1e8543fc installShellFiles: Enhance installShellCompletion
Teach installShellCompletion how to install completions from a named
pipe. Also add a convenience flag `--cmd NAME` that synthesizes the name
for each completion instead of requiring repeated `--name` flags.

Usage looks something like

    installShellCompletion --cmd foobar \
      --bash <($out/bin/foobar --bash-completion) \
      --fish <($out/bin/foobar --fish-completion) \
      --zsh <($out/bin/foobar --zsh-completion)

Fixes #83284

hooks: add moveSystemdUserUnitsHook
This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.

maintainers/scripts/update.nix: support auto-committing by passing attrPath
Instead of having the updateScript support returning JSON object,
it should be sufficient to specify attrPath in passthru.updateScript.
It is much easier to use.

The former is now considered experimental.

maintainers/scripts/update.nix: Add support for auto-commiting changes
Update scripts can now declare features using

	passthru.updateScript = {
	  command = [ ../../update.sh pname ];
	  supportedFeatures = [ "commit" ];
	};

A `commit` feature means that when the update script finishes successfully,
it will print a JSON list like the following:

	[
	  {
	    "attrPath": "volume_key",
	    "oldVersion": "0.3.11",
	    "newVersion": "0.3.12",
	    "files": [
	      "/path/to/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/volume-key/default.nix"
	    ]
	  }
	]

and data from that will be used when update.nix is run with --argstr commit true
to create commits.

We will create a new git worktree for each thread in the pool and run the update
script there. Then we will commit the change and cherry pick it in the main repo,
releasing the worktree for a next change.
