Unlike pathsFromGraph, on Nix 1.12, this function produces a
registration file containing correct NAR hash/size information.

-s, --script: never prompts for user intervention
Sometimes the NixOS installer tests fail when they invoke parted, e.g.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/62513826/nixlog/1. But instead of exiting
right there, the tests hang until the Nix builder times out (and kills
the build). With this change the tests would instead fail immediately,
which is preferred.
While at it, use "parted --script" treewide, so nobody gets build
timeout due to parted error (or misuse). (Only nixos/ use it, and only
non-interactive.)
A few instances already use the short option "-s", convert them to long
option "--short".
Container config example code mentions `postgresql` service, but the correct use of that service involves setting `system.stateVersion` option (as discovered in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/30056).
The actual system state version is set randomly to 17.03 because I have no preferences here
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...)
Although it is quite safe to restart ```libvirtd``` when there are only ```qemu``` machines, in case if there are ```libvirt_lxc``` containers, a restart may result in putting the whole system into an odd state: the containers go on running but the new ```libvirtd``` daemons do not see them.
This allows to run the prune job periodically on a machine.
By default the if enabled the job is run once a week.
The structure is similar to how system.autoUpgrade works.
Use xmlstarlet to update the OVMF path on each startup, like we do for
<emulator>...qemu-kvm</emulator>.
A libvirt domain using UEFI cannot start if the OVMF path is garbage
collected/missing.
Instead of grep and sed, which is brittle.
(I don't know how to preserve the comment we currently add to say that
this line is auto-updated. But I don't think it adds much value, so I'm
not spending any effort on it.)
This commit adds the xen_4_8 package to be used instead of
xen (currently at 4.5.5):
* Add packages xen_4_8, xen_4_8-slim and xen_4_8-light
* Add packages qemu_xen_4_8 and qemu_xen_4_8-light to be used
with xen_4_8-slim and xen_4_8-light respectively.
* Add systemd to buildInputs of xen (it is required by oxenstored)
* Adapt xen service to work with the new version of xen
* Use xen-init-dom0 to initlilise dom0 in xen-store
* Currently, the virtualisation.xen.stored option is ignored
if xen 4.8 is used
OVMF{,CODE,VARS}.fd are now available in a dedicated fd output, greatly
reducing the closure in the common case where only those files are used (a
few MBs versus several hundred MBs for the full OVMF).
Note: it's unclear why `dontPatchELF` is now necessary for the build to
pass (on my end, at any rate) but it doesn't make much sense to run this
fixup anyway,
Note: my reading of xen's INSTALL suggests that --with-system-ovmf should
point directly to the OVMF binary. As such, the previous invocation was
incorrect (it pointed to the root of the OVMF tree). In any case, I have
only built xen with `--with-system-ovmf`, I have not tested it.

Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/25855
Provide the option forwardDns in virtualisation.xen.bridge, which
enables forwarding of DNS queries to the default resolver, allowing
outside internet access for the xen guests.
The xen-bridge service accepts the option prefixLength, but does not
use it to set the actual netmask on the bridge. This commit makes
it set the correct netmask.
