This module generates a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf bootloader
configuration file that is supported by e.g. U-Boot:
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=blob;f=doc/README.distro;hb=refs/heads/master
With this, all ARM boards supported by U-Boot can be booted in a common
way (a single boot file generator, all boards booting via initrd like
x86) and with same boot menu functionality as GRUB has.
-- sample extlinux.conf file --
# Generated file, all changes will be lost on nixos-rebuild!
# Change this to e.g. nixos-42 to temporarily boot to an older configuration.

This is essentially what's been done for the official NixOS build slaves
and I'm using it as well for a few of my machines and my own Hydra
slaves.
Here's the same implementation from the Delft server configurations:

I had to make several adjustments to make it work with nixos:
* Replace relative config file lookups with ENV variable.
* Modify gitlab-shell to not clear then environment when running
pre-receive.
* Modify gitlab-shell to write some environment variables into
the .authorized_keys file to make sure gitlab-shell reads the
correct config file.
* Log unicorn output to syslog.
I tried various ways of adding a syslog package but the bundler would
not pick them up. Please fix in a better way if possible.
* Gitlab-runner program wrapper.
This is useful to run e.g. backups etc. with the correct
environment set up.
Details:
* The option `fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.enable` can be used to disable
the fontconfig-ultimate configuration.
* The user-configurable options provided by fontconfig-ultimate are
exposed in the NixOS module: `allowBitmaps` (default: true),
`allowType1` (default: false), `useEmbeddedBitmaps` (default: false),
`forceAutohint` (default: false), `renderMonoTTFAsBitmap` (default:
false).
* Upstream provides three substitution modes for substituting TrueType
fonts for Type 1 fonts (which do not render well). The default,
"free", substitutes free fonts for Type 1 fonts. The option "ms"
substitutions Microsoft fonts for Type 1 fonts. The option "combi"
uses a combination of Microsoft and free fonts. Substitutions can also
be disabled.
* All 21 of the Infinality rendering modes supported by fontconfig-ultimate
or by the original Infinality distribution can be selected through
`fonts.fontconfig.ultimate.rendering`. The default is the medium style
provided by fontconfig-ultimate. Any of the modes may be customized,
or Infinality rendering can be disabled entirely.
'torify' now ships with the tor bundle itself; and using torsocks is
recommended over tsocks (torify will use torsocks automatically.)

We will simply rename the previous module and add a warning whenever the
module is included directly, pointing the user to the right option and
also enable it as well (in case somebody has missed the option and is
wondering why VirtualBox doesn't work anymore).

The dnscrypt-proxy service relays regular DNS queries to
a DNSCrypt enabled upstream resolver.
The traffic between the client and the upstream resolver is
encrypted and authenticated, which may mitigate the risk of
MITM attacks and third-party snooping (assuming a trustworthy
upstream).
Though dnscrypt-proxy can run as a standalone DNS client,
the recommended setup is to use it as a forwarder for a
caching DNS client.
To use dnscrypt-proxy as a forwarder for dnsmasq, do
```nix
{
# ...
networking.nameservers = [ "127.0.0.1" ];
networking.dhcpcd.extraConfig = "nohook resolv.conf";
services.dnscrypt-proxy.enable = true;
services.dnscrypt-proxy.localAddress = "127.0.0.1";
services.dnscrypt-proxy.port = 40;
services.dnsmasq.enable = true;
services.dnsmasq.extraConfig = ''
no-resolv
server=127.0.0.1#40
listen-address=127.0.0.1
'';
# ...
}
```
I'm not using JFS, but this is to mainly make jfsutils available if you
have defined a JFS filesystem in your configuration.

This is proprietary software, and NixOS is intended as a free software
distribution. We currently don't have a mechanism like allowUnfree for
NixOS modules, so it's better to leave out modules for such
packages. Of couse, they can still be activated by doing:
imports = [ <nixpkgs/nixos/services/networking/copy-com.nix ];
This conflicts with the existing reference NTP daemon, so we're using
services.ntp.enable = mkForce false here to make sure both services
aren't enabled in par.
I was already trying to merge the module with services.ntp, but it would
have been quite a mess with a bunch of conditions on the package name.
They both have a bit in common if it comes to the configuration files,
but differ in handling of the state dir (for example, OpenNTPd doesn't
allow it to be owned by anything other than root).
