* Strictly check the arguments to mkOptionEelco Dolstra2013-10-30
| | | | And fix various instances of bad arguments.
* Show correct position info for errors in submodulesEelco Dolstra2013-10-30
| | | | | | | | E.g. The unique option `fileSystems./.device' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' and `/etc/nixos/foo.nix'. This requires passing file/value tuples to the merge functions.
* Remove obsolete function addDefaultOptionValuesEelco Dolstra2013-10-28

* Show precise error messages in option merge failuresEelco Dolstra2013-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | For instance, if time.timeZone is defined multiple times, you now get the error message: error: user-thrown exception: The unique option `time.timeZone' is defined multiple times, in `/etc/nixos/configurations/misc/eelco/x11vnc.nix' and `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix'. while previously you got: error: user-thrown exception: Multiple definitions of string. Only one is allowed for this option. and only an inspection of the stack trace gave a clue as to what option caused the problem.
* Remove uses of the "merge" option attributeEelco Dolstra2013-10-28
| | | | | It's redundant because you can (and should) specify an option type, or an apply function.
* Fix manual generationEelco Dolstra2013-10-28
|
* Remove dead codeEelco Dolstra2013-10-28
|
* Remove uses of mkFixStrictnessEelco Dolstra2013-10-28
| | | | mkFixStrictness is no longer needed, woohoo!
* Big cleanup of the NixOS module systemEelco Dolstra2013-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The major changes are: * The evaluation is now driven by the declared options. In particular, this fixes the long-standing problem with lack of laziness of disabled option definitions. Thus, a configuration like config = mkIf false { environment.systemPackages = throw "bla"; }; will now evaluate without throwing an error. This also improves performance since we're not evaluating unused option definitions. * The implementation of properties is greatly simplified. * There is a new type constructor "submodule" that replaces "optionSet". Unlike "optionSet", "submodule" gets its option declarations as an argument, making it more like "listOf" and other type constructors. A typical use is: foo = mkOption { type = type.attrsOf (type.submodule ( { config, ... }: { bar = mkOption { ... }; xyzzy = mkOption { ... }; })); }; Existing uses of "optionSet" are automatically mapped to "submodule". * Modules are now checked for unsupported attributes: you get an error if a module contains an attribute other than "config", "options" or "imports". * The new implementation is faster and uses much less memory.
* Slightly improve option type error messagesEelco Dolstra2013-10-23

* Manual: Don't show obsolete/deprecated optionsEelco Dolstra2013-10-23
|
* Allow options to be marked as "internal"Eelco Dolstra2013-10-23
| | | | | This means they're not for end users. Currently they're filtered from the manual, but we could include them in a separate section.
* mkEnableOption: Add a period at the end of the descriptionEelco Dolstra2013-10-17

* Rename newOptionAttrSetToDocList -> optionAttrSetToDocListEelco Dolstra2013-10-17

* Move pkgs/lib/ to lib/Eelco Dolstra2013-10-10
