With this
|
||
change you will get a more descriptive error message if you attempt
|
||
to enable a module that is incompatible with the host platform.</p><p>Previously, modules that were platform specific would only be loaded
|
||
on that particular platform. For example, a module defining a
|
||
<a class="link" href="https://systemd.io/" target="_top">systemd</a> service would only be loaded when the
|
||
host platform was Linux. This reduced evaluation times, simplified
|
||
the generated documentation, and made it impossible to accidentally
|
||
use modules that do not support the host platform.</p><p>While the above benefits are quite nice, avoiding module loads also
|
||
brings a few problems. For example, the <a class="link" href="https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/" target="_top">public
|
||
documentation</a> will
|
||
only show the options available for Linux hosts and the
|
||
documentation cannot make references to options within modules that
|
||
are unavailable on some hosts. Finally, users who wish to use the
|
||
same configuration file for different platforms cannot do so, even
|
||
if the platform incompatible options are unused.</p><p>Ultimately, the benefits of loading all modules won and the behavior
|
||
has now changed. For associated discussion see

override unit values you may encounter errors.</p><p>In particular, if you get an error saying that a “unique option” is
