Description of changes

This is kind of a spiritual successor to #238557, achieved by just moving more things out of the NixOS module system and into normal packages. This iteration starts with nixos-build-vms, nixos-enter and nixos-install, all three of which don't depend on any config state except Nix itself. nixos-generate-config can probably also move out, but will require some refactoring to do so, and I'm not sure about nixos-version, but this is a start.

Things done

  • Built on platform(s)
    • x86_64-linux
    • aarch64-linux
    • x86_64-darwin
    • aarch64-darwin
  • For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
    • sandbox = relaxed
    • sandbox = true
  • Tested, as applicable:
  • Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
  • Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • 24.11 Release Notes (or backporting 23.11 and 24.05 Release notes)
    • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
    • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
    • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The main objective of the mentioned PR, was to avoid rebuilding system-path on every commit. Making the packages overridable was kind of a side mission.

I'm also very much in favour of this change by itself though, it's annoying when packages are not easily overridable.

That's going to be in the next commits that I haven't finished yet :)

@NixOS/nixpkgs-vet that's an interesting failure mode

OK, looking at nixos-generate-config, that'll be a huge pain to untangle and I'm considering just rewriting it entirely, so I'm going to send this as is, as it's already an improvement.
