* Added an option "nixpkgs.system" to specify the system type for
which NixOS should be built. This is useful in NixOS network specifications, because it allows machines in the network to have different types, e.g., { machine1 = { config, pkgs, ... }: { nixpkgs.system = "i686-linux"; ... other config ... }; machine2 = { config, pkgs, ... }: { nixpkgs.system = "x86_64-linux"; ... other config ... }; } It can also be useful in distributed NixOS tests. svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=24823
