Dollar signs in options under <option>services.postfix</option> are
|
|
passed verbatim to Postfix, which will interpret them as the beginning of
|
|
a parameter expression. This was already true for string-valued options
|
|
in the previous release, but not for list-valued options. If you need to

|
pass literal dollar signs through Postfix, double them.

The most commonly used files in <filename>nix-support</filename> are now split between the two wrappers.

The propagation logic has been changed.
|
|
The new logic, along with new types of dependencies that go with, is thoroughly documented in the "Specifying dependencies" section of the "Standard Environment" chapter of the nixpkgs manual.
|
|
<!-- That's <xref linkend="ssec-stdenv-attributes"> were we to merge the manuals. -->
|
|
The old logic isn't but is easy to describe: dependencies were propagated as the same type of dependency no matter what.
|
|
In practice, that means that many <function>propagatedNativeBuildInputs</function> should instead be <function>propagatedBuildInputs</function>.
|
|
Thankfully, that was and is the least used type of dependency.
|
|
Also, it means that some <function>propagatedBuildInputs</function> should instead be <function>depsTargetTargetPropagated</function>.
|
|
Other types dependencies should be unaffected.

The merging of config options for <varname>services.postfix.config</varname>
|
|
was buggy. Previously, if other options in the Postfix module like
|
|
<varname>services.postfix.useSrs</varname> were set and the user set config
|
|
options that were also set by such options, the resulting config wouldn't
|
|
include all options that were needed. They are now merged correctly. If
|
|
config options need to be overridden, <literal>lib.mkForce</literal> or
|
|
<literal>lib.mkOverride</literal> can be used.
