Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.
Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.
vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close#14139.
This reverts commit cad8957eabcbf73062226d28366fd446c15c8737. It
breaks NixOps, but more importantly, such major changes to the module
system really need to be reviewed.
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.
Allow usage of list of strings instead of a comma-separated string
for filesystem options. Deprecate the comma-separated string style
with a warning message; convert this to a hard error after 16.09.
15.09 was just released, so this provides a deprecation period during
the 16.03 release.

First of all this fixes an evaluation error I introduced in ae466ba,
which wasn't triggered by any of my own tests against the change because
there are usually no NixOS options that are declared outside of the
<nixpkgs> tree. I renamed the attribute name from "fn" to "fileName"
first and later to "fullPath" but forgot one still occuring "filename".
Thanks to @vcunat for noticing this.
Another thing that he pointed out was that the "stripPrefix" function
can be factored away entirely, because it's very similar to
"removePrefix" in <nixpkgs/lib>.
Unfortunately we can't use "removePrefix" as is, because we need to
account for the final shlash.
So instead of removing it twice and/or retaining "stripPrefix", let's
append a shlash on every "prefixesToStrip" and we can use "removePrefix"
as is.
Tested with:
taalo-build nixos/release.nix -A tests.installer.simple.x86_64-linux
And:
w3m -dump "$(
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
)/share/doc/nixos/options.html"

Let's use a simple (unflipped) fold and break out the actual core
stripPrefix function from stripAnyPrefixes (I personally love
point-less^H^H^H^Hfree style but if I'd be anal I'd even go further and
factor away the "fn:").
Also, let's use path as a better name for "fn" (filename), because
that's what it is and also cannot be confused with "fn" meaning
"function".
We now toString all of the prefixes, so there shouldn't be any need to
implicily toString the extraSources anymore.

Regression introduced by e6cd147ae7ae05900ec2ab8ad933bfac7428feac.
This broke all of the installer tests, because they needed to rebuild
the manual within the test machine, while it only has a closure of the
already pre-built system in place.
The problem here was just that the order of the arguments got mixed up
in stripAnyPrefixes, so it was actually trying to strip the path off the
prefix, not the other way around.
So in the end no prefix was stripped at all, so we ended up having full
store paths in the manual, which in turn caused the build within the VM
to fail, because the prefixes differed.
