14:53 <andi-> Finally got around to write nixos tests for my upcoming migration to NixOS on the local router... Should update the networkd module.. Things like the `[DHCP]` section are just legacy and not even documented anymore. (It is now `[DHCPv4]` and `[DHCPv6]`).. Hope to get home soon enough to fix that during the weekend.

14:56 <gchristensen> yay!

15:14 <andi-> gchristensen: given that all the networkd documentation is written in docbook xml. Do you think it is feasible to generate list of accepted options per section? As a user I love the config "verification" we do in NixOS.. As a developer I hate updating these details…

15:15 <gchristensen> +1

15:15 <gchristensen> link?

15:16 <andi-> https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/man/systemd.network.xml

15:17 <gchristensen> with munging, yes

15:17 <andi-> We obviously can not parse (all) the valid values for options but it seems like it wouldn't be to hard to get a list of options. Even if we just diff it against what we have right now.

15:18 <gchristensen> even some simple xpath could extract a lot of the <term><varname>Type=</varname></term> bits

15:20 <andi-> I guess my real question was: Is there some docbook magic for that besides the standard XML tooling :)

15:23 <gchristensen> ah

15:24 <gchristensen> docbook is a lot like s-expressions. they aren't special except for the transformation you can apply to it

15:24 <gchristensen> I don't know of anything special here that would answer this question specifically

15:24 <andi-> kk
