This factors out `meta.maintainers` from NixOS `misc/meta.nix` for use in arbitrary
Module System applications.
It is useful beyond NixOS and not coupled to it, although it is currently coupled to Nixpkgs'
`lib.maintainers`.
That restriction could be lifted optionally if there's future demand.
Render documentation for modular services.
https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/#modular-services
This is admittedly not a great solution, but it is a rather simple
solution that we can use until we develop a proper one.
Flaws:
- These are rendered in the NixOS documentation, but modular services
are not meant to be exclusive to NixOS.
- They are rendered as NixOS options, but should be imported into
service submodules.
Benefits:
- Simple
- search.nixos.org integration for free
This matches the definition of `_module.args.pkgs` in the standard
Nixpkgs module, and fixes a bunch of build issues caused by use of
`nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgs.foo ];` throughout NixOS.
A fallback could be added in case we expect people might be passing
in package sets without `__splicedPackages`, although that seems like
it would be inherently broken to me.
Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,
making the CI check introduced in the previous commit succeed:
nix-build ci -A fmt.check
This is the next step of the of the [implementation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt/issues/153)
of the accepted [RFC 166](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166).
This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).
Merge conflicts caused by this commit can now automatically be resolved while rebasing using the
[auto-rebase script](8616af08d9/maintainers/scripts/auto-rebase).
If you run into any problems regarding any of this, please reach out to the
[formatting team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/formatting/) by
pinging @NixOS/nix-formatting.
The description for options.nixpkgs.system already hints at this:
Neither ${opt.system} nor any other option in nixpkgs.* is meant
to be read by modules and configurations.
Use pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform instead.
We can support this goal by not elaborating the systems anymore, forcing
users to go via pkgs.stdenv.
This will prevent problems when making the top-level package sets
composable in the next commit. For this to work, you should pass a fully
elaborated system to nixpkgs' localSystem or crossSystem options.
Passing the elaborated system defeats what pkgs/top-level/default.nix
tries to do: Pass only the original args and let defaults be inferred.
The underlying problem is that lib.systems.elaborate can not deal with
arbitrary overrides, but will often return an inconsistent system
description when partially overriding some values. This becomes most
prominent if trying to override an already elaborated system.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
This commit was automatically created and can be verified using
nix-build a08b3a4d19.tar.gz \
--argstr baseRev b32a094368
result/bin/apply-formatting $NIXPKGS_PATH
A free-form `attrsOf str` option that is merged with the /etc/os-release
builder, allowing downstreams to customise arbitrary os-release fields.
This is separate from the variant option, as using an attribute set
merge means one gets an infinte recursion when making extraOSReleaseArgs
a recursive set, and the variant attribute is useful to define elsewhere
or multiple times.
Ditto for /etc/lsb-release.

It's almost 2025; we don't need to use 3-bit colour anymore. Let's use
the proper colour code for NixOS' light blue:
