There is nothing in this commit except for the changes made by
nix-shell -p nixfmt-rfc-style --run "nixfmt ."
If this has mucked up your open branches then sorry about that. You
can probably nixfmt them to match before merging
this is so that we don't have to obfuscate store paths in
systemConfiguration to avoid dragging in build system
deps.
breaking-ish change to workflows, docs updated
* [] is now [ ]
* {} is now { }
* commas in arglists go at end of line not beginning
In short, I ran the whole thing through nixfmt-rfc-style but only
accepted about 30% of its changes. I might grow accustomed to more
of it over time
We call s6-rc -u -p default to restart/start the base services
on a rebuild, otherwise services that are only in the new
configuration won't come up. However, this stops any service
started by a trigger. So, workaround is to restart the trigger
service and expect it to restart the services it manages if they're
needed
which copies the init stuff (whatever it is) from store to /persist
instead of making liminix-rebuild have to know what the files are.
This is principally to ease making a system configuration in /mnt or
similar when operating in a rescue/recovery scenario, and we
don't want to liminix-rebuild because it will reboot
systemconfig (a.k.a "activate") is run from the initramfs. Converting
it from a shell script to an executable means it doesn't depend on
there being a shell in the initramfs
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.
this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup
