When installing NixOS on a machine with Windows, the "easiest" solution
to dual-boot is re-using the existing EFI System Partition (ESP), which
allows systemd-boot to detect Windows automatically.
However, if there are multiple ESPs, maybe even on multiple disks,
systemd-boot is unable to detect the other OSes, and you either have to
use Grub and os-prober, or do a tedious manual configuration as
described in the wiki:
https://wiki.nixos.org/w/index.php?title=Dual_Booting_NixOS_and_Windows&redirect=no#EFI_with_multiple_disks
This commit automates and documents this properly so only a single line
like
boot.loader.systemd-boot.windows."10".efiDeviceHandle = "HD0c2";
is required.
In the future, we might want to try automatically detecting this
during installation, but finding the correct device handle while the
kernel is running is tricky.
Previously, setting listsAsDuplicateKeys or listToValue would make it so
merging these treat all values as lists, by coercing non-lists via
lib.singleton. Some programs (such as gamemode; see #345121), allow some
values to be repeated but not others, which can lead to unexpected
behavior when non-list values are merged like this rather than throwing
an error.
This now makes that behavior opt-in via the mergeAsList option. Setting
mergeAsList (to either true or false) without setting either
listsAsDuplicateKeys or listToValue is an error, since lists are
meaningless in this case.
Currently if a timezone was selected explicitly, the service will
silently override the value, essentially ignoring what is meant to be a
a deliberate choice of option. This may cause confusion as to why the
option is not doing anything when this service is enabled, particularly
in more complex set-ups after some time.
This will simply make the choice deliberate from the user's part, either
by having to remove the option or lowering its priority as a recognition
that it may be ignored.
This change was inspired by the `services.tzupdate` module, which does
the same.

Add a pre v2 copy of deno as deno_1 to provide some stability until our next
release and until 1.46 is fully abandoned soon.
deno_1 is expected to be removed prior to 24.11.
Added a release note.
Updates deno to v2.
Slight refactor of fetcher code for grabbing librusty_v8.
Updated the update scripts to use new Deno v2 interfaces and pull latest
toml dependency from jsr rather than the deno.land registry.
Added release note.
- use upstream service and scripts
- switch to integrated-vtysh-config, abandon per-daemon config
- use always daemon names in options (e.g. ospf -> ospfd)
- zebra, mgmtd and staticd are always enabled
- abandon vtyListenAddress, vtyListenPort options; use
just "extraOptions" or "options" instead, respectively
- extend test to test staticd
- update release-notes
- pkgs.servers.frr: fix sbindir and remove FHS PATH
- introduce services.frr.openFilesLimit option

Fixes CVE-2024-47176 and CVE-2024-47850. NixOS is not affected by these security issues by
default because we do not ship the default configuration file so it fallbacks to `BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd`.
631/udp is removed from the open firewall ports, it was by the CUPS
browsing protocol.
Deprecate (buildPythonPackage { ... }).override for Python packages in
favour of overridePythonAttrs.
This change does not affect the override interface of most Python
packages, as the override interface is provided by callPackage and
shadows the locally defined override attribute.
The rss-bridge service changes introduced in f2201789fe
resp. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/223148 removes the need for
the package patch. This commit removes the patch to ease updating and
maintenance.
Relevant service functionality was also removed (e.g. the setting of
RSSBRIDGE_DATA).
The explicit definition of FileCache.path so users can easily see its
default value and change it, requires to use a freeformType to let users
freely add potentially upcoming config options. This type is restricted
to ini types (although we coerce them to environment variables).
This however makes the list of enabled_bridges impossible. That was
fixed by explicitly introducing this option with a type allowing lists.
The default value however should be unset, which is expressed as `null`,
which further spurred a change in the environment variable generation to
ignore null values (instead of coercing them to an empty string).
A breaking change note was added to highlight this change. A check that
warns users of the not-application of their existing config file is
not easily possible, as people could have only added or changed the
config.ini.php file on the file system without changing a nix variable.
