`ocserv` is a VPN server which follows the openconnect protocol
(https://github.com/openconnect/protocol). The packaging is slightly
inspired by the AUR version
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocserv/).
This patch initializes the package written in C, the man pages and a
module for a simple systemd unit to run the VPN server. The package
supports the following authentication methods for the server:
* `plain` (mostly username/password)
* `pam`
The third method (`radius`) is currently not supported since `nixpkgs`
misses a packaged client.
The module can be used like this:
``` nix
{
services.ocserv = {
enable = true;
config = ''
...
'';
};
}
```
The option `services.ocserv.config` is required on purpose to
ensure that nobody just enables the service and experiences unexpected
side-effects on the system. For a full reference, please refer to the
man pages, the online docs or the example value.
The docs recommend to simply use `nobody` as user, so no extra user has
been added to the internal user list. Instead a configuration like
this can be used:
```
run-as-user = nobody
run-as-group = nogroup
```

Fixes#42594
Until now it's impossible to override the attrs of the actual build
instruction for the `termite` package like this:
```
termite.overrideAttrs (_: {
# ...
})
```
This issue occurs since the `termite/default.nix` expressions returns
the `symlinkJoin` expression when I override termite (e.g. to provide a
config file).
I recently patched termite and wanted to apply this patch to my local
termite installation in my system config which is impossible this, so
splitting the wrapper and the build instruction into their own files
makes this way easier to maintian.
When creating a new mobile broadband connection
with the plasma network manager connection editor,
it tries to find a file containing provider
information somewhere in /usr/share/... .
The build recipe contains a patch to fix the lookup path
such that it finds the file in the corresponding package,
probably added due to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/9389 .
The actual lookup path is injected into
the patch file with substituteAll.
With commit a31d98f312 ,
the variable name used in subsituteAll changed from
mobile_broadband_provider_info to mobile-broadband-provider-info
(underscores in package names turned into dashes).
Apparently, substituteAll can't handle dashes in variable names.
Consequently, the variable name was no longer resolved.
plasma-nm failed to create new mobile broadband connections;
the connection creator silently exited and logged the error
> plasma-nm: Error opening providers file "@mobile-broadband-provider-info@/share/mobile-broadband-provider-info/serviceproviders.xml"
This commit keeps the dashes in package names, but it
restores the underscores in the variable used by substituteAll,
thereby ensuring the variable gets resolved properly.
atom-beta: 1.29.0-beta1 -> 1.30.0-beta1
The beta version jump seems like an irregular update, but 1.30.0-beta0
was retired rougly 3 hours after release due to an macOS error:
> Fixed an error about a missing string_decoder module when the Git pane
> is displayed on macOS.
This shouldn't affect the Linux x86_64 version, but latest versions are
always nice.
Also refactored the build script, it now takes the version number as
an extra (optional) argument and creates the version number from that.
Also removed `rec` from the main set because it was no longer needed.
