As of recently, Nix 2.6 from Ubuntu 22.04 became too old to evaluate
nixpkgs. A new-enough version of Nix is available as part of Ubuntu
24.04, but those newer versions of Nix aren't happy with our rather
primitive proot workaround anymore.
Thankfully, someone already made a version of Nix that does all the
heavy lifting for running in unprivileged environments like the one
Read the Docs provides. So we used that instead.
instead of just smtp:// with STARTTLS.
Opted to call the flag --ssl and not --tls to keep it consistent with
the module option (mailserver.enableSubmissionSsl), dovecot internals
and smtplib in mail-check.py.
Eval does not stop on the first assertion failure it encouters.
Instead, it tries to evaluate all assertions and returns with a list of
those that failed.
This means our very top `config.mailserver.stateVersion != null`
assertion does not gate against any other assertions trying to compare
null against an integer.
The error prior to this commit can be reproduced by removing
`mailserver.stateVersion = 999;` in tests/lib/config.nix and then trying
to evaluate any of the tests:
~~~bash
# nix eval --raw .#checks.x86_64-linux.internal-unstable
