* gnome3: only maintain single GNOME 3 package set
GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in #2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources
to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense.
Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome.
This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes
the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates
the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`.
Closes: #29329
* maintainers/scripts/gnome: Use fixed GNOME 3 directory
Since we now allow only a single GNOME 3 package set, specifying
the working directory is not necessary.
This commit sets the directory to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`.
There are currently two ways to build Openstack image. This just picks
best of both, to keep only one!
- Image is resizable
- Cloudinit is enable
- Password authentication is disable by default
- Use the same layer than other image builders (ec2, gce...)
This changes much of the make-disk-image.nix logic (and thus most NixOS
image building) to use LKL to set up the target directory structure rather
than a Linux VM. The only work we still do in a VM is less IO-heavy stuff
that while still time-consuming, is less of the overall load. The goal is
to kill more of that stuff, but that will require deeper changes to NixOS
activation scripts and switch-to-configuration.pl, and I don't want to
bite off too much at once.
* google-cloud-sdk: 150.0.0 -> 151.0.0
- gce/create-gce.sh: rewrite using nix-shell shebang and bash
- allows to run the script without being the same directory
- nix-shell install google-cloud-sdk
- some shellcheck cleanups and scripting best practice
- gce/create-gce.sh: do not clobber NIX_PATH: this allows NIX_PATH to be overwritten to build a different release
- gce/create-gce.sh: remove legacy hydra option
Unfortunately, somewhere between 16.09 and 17.03, paravirtualized
instances stopped working. They hang at the pv-grub prompt
("grubdom>"). I tried reverting to a 4.4 kernel, reverting kernel
compression from xz to bzip2 (even though pv-grub is supposed to
support xz), and reverting the only change to initrd generation
(5a8147479e794d5932273d01790c3602b8abeedc). Nothing worked so I'm
giving up.
This makes make-disk-image.nix slightly more consistent with other image
builders we have. Unfortunately I duplicated some code in doing so, but
this is temporary duplication on the path to consolidating everything.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23052 for more details on that.
I'm also exposing the option in the amazon-image.nix maintainer module.
We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.

The EBS and S3 (instance-store) AMIs are now created from the same
image. HVM instance-store AMIs are also generated.
Disk image generation has been factored out into a function
(nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix) that can be used to build other kinds
of images.
images. Root disks are now SSD backed and 20GB by default, both on hvm and pv-grub
(previously was 8GB for HVM). Added new eu-central region to the locations to copy images
to. Also the root disk for HVM instances was not deleted on termination with previous
images, this is fixed as well.
be used on HVM instances without needing nixops. Previously
the grub setup was incorrect, so a plain 'nixos-rebuild switch'
and a reboot would result in a broken system.
Also added growing of the partition of the root disk in the initrd,
so you can run resize2fs after initial boot, without needing an
extra reboot. This is useful especially for nixops'
deployment.ec2.ebsInitialRootDiskSize option.
