This is based on the current NixOS `nixpkgs` module, adjusted for the
nix-darwin context and without adding the options due for deprecation
in NixOS.
This gives us the ability to set the package set modularly through
`nixpkgs.pkgs` and builds up infrastructure for handling user-specified
Nixpkgs instantiations more robustly.
The cross-compilation options are currently not very useful due to
even Darwin->Darwin cross-compilation not being wholly functional
yet, but it looks feasible to build an `aarch64-darwin` system from
`x86_64-darwin` with some patching and it should be possible to make
cross-compilation more widely supported after the Darwin SDK situation
in Nixpkgs improves.
One casualty is the error for setting `nixpkgs.*` options when
overriding the package set. That could be ported over to this new
scheme, but it'd increase divergence with the NixOS module and reduce
cross-compatibility of configurations, so I lean towards adding it
upstream to NixOS if anything. (But if people want to keep it I can add
it back.)
This process was automated by [my fork of `nix-doc-munge`]; thanks
to @pennae for writing this tool! It automatically checks that the
resulting documentation doesn't change, although my fork loosens
this a little to ignore some irrelevant whitespace and typographical
differences.
As of this commit there is no DocBook remaining in the options
documentation.
You can play along at home if you want to reproduce this commit:

These all use DocBook markup too complex for `nix-doc-munge` to handle,
have syntax that clashes with Markdown, or already contain Markdown
syntax that currently isn't rendering correctly.
Converting DocBook list syntax makes me think that maybe Markdown
isn't so bad after all.
These help `nix-munge-doc` automate more of the Markdown conversion
process. See the following nixpkgs commits for explanations of many
of these changes:
* 275a34e0d8
* 694d5b19d3
* f1d39b6d61
* 16102dce2f
I couldn't think of any particularly good way to format the
`system.defaults` breadcrumbs, so I just made them standalone
paragraphs. They weren't rendering correctly in DocBook anyway.
This was
mkDefault { } // filterAttrs () x
which is interpreted as
(mkDefault { }) // (filterAttrs () x)
but the intention is
mkDefault ({ } // filterAttrs () x)
Resulting in lastModified, rev, etc. not being included. This is
essentially just bringing this clause up-to-date with the one from
NixOS.
Stop using `nice` related options like NixOS, and because `launchd`
recommends using `ProcessType` instead. Note this commit also changes
the default `ProcessType` for the `nix-daemon` from `Interactive` to
`Standard`.
Also remove `nix.version` option since it's no longer being used
anywhere, old irrelevant `nix-info` module, and all support for
legacy `nix.profile` option.
This is useful for flake users as they will usually already have an
instantiated Nixpkgs e.g.
let
pkgs = import nixpkgs {
config.allowUnfree = true;
overlays = [ ... ];
}
in darwin.lib.darwinSystem {
inherit pkgs;
}
This change makes `nix-darwin` match the behaviour of NixOS and
`home-manager`.
