This should be a significant disk space saving for most NixOS
installations. This method is a bit more complicated than doing it in
the postInstall for the firmware derivations, but this way it's
automatic, so each firmware package doesn't have to separately
implement its compression.
Currently, only xz compression is supported, but it's likely that
future versions of Linux will additionally support zstd, so I've
written the code in such a way that it would be very easy to implement
zstd compression for those kernels when they arrive, falling back to
xz for older (current) kernels.
I chose the highest possible level of compression (xz -9) because even
at this level, decompression time is negligible. Here's how long it took
to decompress every firmware file my laptop uses:
i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin 2ms
regulatory.db 4ms
regulatory.db.p7s 3ms
iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode 62ms
9d71-GOOGLE-EVEMAX-0-tplg.bin 22ms
intel/dsp_fw_kbl.bin 65ms
dsp_lib_dsm_core_spt_release.bin 6ms
intel/ibt-hw-37.8.10-fw-22.50.19.14.f.bseq 7ms
And since booting NixOS is a parallel process, it's unlikely (but
difficult to measure) that the time to user interaction was held up at
all by most of these.
Fixes (partially?) #148197
These two packages don't have a lib/firmware directory, so putting
them in hardware.firmware has no effect. This will become a hard
error once firmware compression is implemented.
(In the case of Linux, the firmware was all moved to linux-firmware.)
automysqldump passes the --events flag, but without the EVENTS permission a error occures:
> mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show events': Access denied for user 'automysqlbackup'@'localhost' to database 'mysql' (1044)
Add support for enabling confinement
but does not enable it by default yet
because so far no module within NixOS uses confinement
hence that would set a precedent.
Previously, it was held back due to the ENA driver not building on the
current default (5.15). The previous commit bumps the ENA driver, which
allows 5.15 to work.
This will package up the closure of pkgs.hello in a tarball, and will
later on verify machinectl pull-tar properly unpacked it, serving as a
regression test for #108158.
Closes#108158
Initially applied via e7f6370701, then
reverted by 96aaf29234.
Re-applying this patch: the pleroma NixOS test is broken without it.
It was originally impossible to login in toot without having an
interactive shell. I opened https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/pull/180
upstream to fix that and fetch this patch for this test.
The author decided to fix the issue using a slightly different
approach at a3eb5dca24
Because of this upstream fix, our custom patch does not apply anymore.
Using that stdin-based login upstream feature.
Pointing pleroma_ctl to the right RELEASE_COOKIE as well.
Tailscale uses policy routing to enable certain traffic to bypass
routes that lead into the Tailscale mesh. NixOS's reverse path
filtering setup doesn't understand the policy routing at play,
and so incorrectly interprets some of this traffic as spoofed.
Since this only breaks some features of Tailscale, merely warn
users about it, rather than make it a hard error.
Updates tailscale/tailscale#4432

For some features, tailscaled uses getent(1) to get the shell
of OS users. getent(1) is in the glibc derivation. Without this
derivation in the path, tailscale falls back to /bin/sh for all
users.
