...for filesystem options. Before this change, users would typically encounter conflicting option definitions when trying to build an image for a generic nixos closure, i.e. `nixos-rebuild build-image --image-variant sd-card --flake .#my-host`
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

This allows users to simply enable support for all hardware by enabling the option `hardware.enableAllHardware`, instead of having to import `modules/profiles/all-hardware.nix`.
This is better, as the enableAllHardware option will be discoverable via search.nixos.org, while the `all-hardware.nix` is hidden inside nixpkgs and hard to discover.
Backward compatibility is provided by replacing the old `profiles/all-hardware.nix` with a file that sets the `enableAllHardware` option to true.
When building an image, rather than operating on a real partition,
there's no need to have sfdisk tell the kernel to reread the partition
table. This also avoids a call to sync(2), which could be very
expensive depending on what other IO is going on on the system at the time.
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
This is done for sd-images only here, but should probably also be done
for dvd-images.
The --invariant arg should be a better way of making mkfs.vfat deterministic.
The previous version of invoking faketime was building fine and reproducible
when I was compiling an sdimage for aarch64 under emulation.
It was however still logging errors:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/nix/store/1c2cp2709kmvby8ql2n9946v7l52nn50-libfaketime-0.9.9/lib/libfaketime.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object '/nix/store/1c2cp2709kmvby8ql2n9946v7l52nn50-libfaketime-0.9.9/lib/libfaketime.so.1' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
The logged errors were presumably inaccurate somehow as calling
faketime was required for reproducibility, even though the log makes it
looks like it failed.
this mostly means marking options that use markdown already
appropriately and making a few adjustments so they still render
correctly. notable for nftables we have to transform the md links
because the manpage would not render them correctly otherwise.
Different boards using u-boot SPL require to write to different
locations. Sometimes, the 8MiB gap isn't sufficient - rk3399 boards
write to 0x16384 for example, which is at 8MiB, thus overriding the
fat32 partition with the SPL.
This is supeer useful to allow the normal sd-image code to be used by
someone who wants to setup multiple partitions with a sd-image.
Currently I'm manually copying the sd-image file and modifying it
instead.
