radicale: 1.1.4 -> 2.1.2
This commit readds and updates the 1.x package from 1.1.4 to 1.1.6 which
also includes the needed command for migrating to 2.x

The module is adjusted to the version change, defaulting to radicale2 if
stateVersion >= 17.09 and radicale1 otherwise. It also now uses
ExecStart instead of the script service attribute. Some missing dots at
the end of sentences were also added.

I added a paragraph in the release notes on how to update to a newer
version.

doc: clarify building-nixos CD/DVD instructions
This change updates the instructions for building a NixOS ISO so that it's clear how to do it.

Previously, the instructions stated to set NIXOS_CONFIG prior to running `nix-build`, yet the example provided by-passed NIXOS_CONFIG anyway. But the *really* important missing piece is the need for nixos/default.nix. See #21840.

This change removes the NIXOS_CONFIG verbiage, and adds steps to clone nixpkgs and (most importantly) cd'ing into nixpkgs/nixos. That way, the reader may think: *Oh, so I need a default.nix and a configuration.nix. Ahhh, OK.*

I purposely added the redundant default.nix argument.

Pascal Bach de52d2450e Cleanup PostgreSQL for state version 17.09 (#25753)
* postgresql service: make 9.6 the default version for 17.09

* postgresql service: change default superuser for 17.09

Change the default superuser from `root` to `postgres` for state
version 17.09

* postgresql service: change default data directory for 17.09

The new directory includes the schema version of the database.
This makes upgrades easier and is more consistent with other distros.

* updated nixos release notes

Merge pull request #15353 (improve xrandrHeads)
When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.

However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.

This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:

 * XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
 * SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
         currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
 * XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
           taskbar on the primary monitor

These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.

The changes are also backwards-compatible.

nixos/doc: Improve release notes for xrandrHeads
The xrandrHeads option has been there since a long time, so there is no
need to advertise it as a new feature.

Instead, let's focus on just what has changed, which is that we now
assign one head to be primary.

Allow attaching to non-child processes by default
The inability to run strace or gdb is the kind of
developer-unfriendliness that we're used to from OS X, let's not do it
on NixOS.

This restriction can be re-enabled by setting

  boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope" = 1;

It might be nice to have a NixOS module for enabling hardened defaults.

Xref #14392.

Thanks @abbradar.

nixpkgs: allow packages to be marked insecure
If a package's meta has `knownVulnerabilities`, like so:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      name = "foobar-1.2.3";

      ...

      meta.knownVulnerabilities = [
        "CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution"
        "CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation"
      ];
    }

and a user attempts to install the package, they will be greeted with
a warning indicating that maybe they don't want to install it:

    error: Package ‘foobar-1.2.3’ in ‘...default.nix:20’ is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.

    Known issues:

     - CVE-0000-00000: remote code execution
     - CVE-0000-00001: local privilege escalation

    You can install it anyway by whitelisting this package, using the
    following methods:

    a) for `nixos-rebuild` you can add ‘foobar-1.2.3’ to
       `nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages` in the configuration.nix,
       like so:

         {
           nixpkgs.config.permittedInsecurePackages = [
             "foobar-1.2.3"
           ];
         }

    b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
    ‘foobar-1.2.3’ to `permittedInsecurePackages` in
    ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix, like so:

         {
           permittedInsecurePackages = [
             "foobar-1.2.3"
           ];
         }

Adding either of these configurations will permit this specific
version to be installed. A third option also exists:

  NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1 nix-build ...

though I specifically avoided having a global file-based toggle to
disable this check. This way, users don't disable it once in order to
get a single package, and then don't realize future packages are
insecure.

Nikolay Amiantov 52c7e647ab postfix service: don't empty local_recipient_maps
From Postfix documentation:

With this setting, the Postfix SMTP server will not reject mail with "User
unknown in local recipient table". Don't do this on systems that receive mail
directly from the Internet. With today's worms and viruses, Postfix will become
a backscatter source: it accepts mail for non-existent recipients and then
tries to return that mail as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender
address.

Nicolas B. Pierron f5dfe78a1e Add overlays mechanism to Nixpkgs.
This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays".

By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`,
or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`.  If the environment variable does not name a valid directory
then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory.  If the home directory does not exists it will
fallback on an empty list of overlays.

The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the
content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages.  The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links
are used in alphabetical order.

The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like:

```nix
self: super: {
}
```

More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query
the final result of the fix-point.

An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at:
  https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix

To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to
the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.

stdenv/stripHash: print to stdout, not to variable
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.

Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.

Merge pull request #18567 (VirtualBox 5.1.6)
This introduces VirtualBox version 5.1.6 along with a few refactored
stuff, notably:

  * Kernel modules and user space applications are now separate
    derivations.
  * If config.pulseaudio doesn't exist in nixpkgs config, the default is
    now to build with PulseAudio modules.
  * A new updater to keep VirtualBox up to date.

All subtests in nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix succeed on my machine and
VirtualBox was reported to be working by @DamienCassou (although with
unrelated audio problems for another fix/branch) and @calbrecht.

Domen Kožar a6670c1a0b Fixes #18124: atomically replace /var/setuid-wrappers/ (#18186)
Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.

That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.

Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.

Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.

Tested:

- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted

Profpatsch 85ed3ca9c7 libinput.accelProfile: improve docs & new default
The link to some (of course non-existing, i.e. freedesktop) “libinput”
documentation is replaced by a piece of the API documentation.

The default is changed since the documentation suggests `adaptive`
should be it.
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/group__config.html#gad63796972347f318b180e322e35cee79

Also fix a missing string conversion for `scrollButton`.

Franz Pletz d8fd06641a gitlab module: split up gitlab-runner script
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.

Rodney Lorrimar 6711e62d51 nixos manual: add Emacs section (fixes #13217)
In light of Emacs packaging improvements such as those mentioned
in #11503, and with the addition of a systemd service (#15807
and #16356), and considering that the wiki page is completely
out of date (#13217), it seems that some documentation is in order.

grsecurity module: disable EFI runtime services by default
Enabling EFI runtime services provides a venue for injecting code into
the kernel.

When grsecurity is enabled, we close this by default by disabling access
to EFI runtime services.  The upshot of this is that
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars will be unavailable by default (and attempts
to mount it will fail).

This is not strictly a grsecurity related option, it could be made into
a general option, but it seems to be of particular interest to
grsecurity users (for non-grsecurity users, there are other, more
immediate kernel injection attack dangers to contend with anyway).

Eelco Dolstra a7baec7cb1 nixos-generate-config: Emit LUKS configuration for boot device 2016-05-25 18:04:41 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 845c9b50bf boot.initrd.luks.devices: Change into an attribute set
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain

  boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";

while configuration.nix can add

  boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;

Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.

Merge pull request #14700: olinks for NixOS manual
This allows to use <olink> tags inside NixOS options to reference
sections from the manual. I've originally introduced it in #14476 to
reference the Taskserver specific documentation from the options
reference but as suggested by @nbp, this was done as a separate pull
request to ensure greater visibility rather than being "hidden" in the
Taskserver branch.

The build time for the manual is around 30s on my machine without this
change and 34s with this change, so it shouldn't have a very big impact
on the build time of the manual.

Olinks between the options reference and the manual now will look like
this:

"More instructions about NixOS in conjuction with Taskserver can be
found in the NixOS manual at Chapter 15, Taskserver."

More documentation about olinks can be found here:
