This patch add a new argument to Nixpkgs default expression named "overlays".
By default, the value of the argument is either taken from the environment variable `NIXPKGS_OVERLAYS`,
or from the directory `~/.nixpkgs/overlays/`. If the environment variable does not name a valid directory
then this mechanism would fallback on the home directory. If the home directory does not exists it will
fallback on an empty list of overlays.
The overlays directory should contain the list of extra Nixpkgs stages which would be used to extend the
content of Nixpkgs, with additional set of packages. The overlays, i-e directory, files, symbolic links
are used in alphabetical order.
The simplest overlay which extends Nixpkgs with nothing looks like:
```nix
self: super: {
}
```
More refined overlays can use `super` as the basis for building new packages, and `self` as a way to query
the final result of the fix-point.
An example of overlay which extends Nixpkgs with a small set of packages can be found at:
https://github.com/nbp/nixpkgs-mozilla/blob/nixpkgs-overlay/moz-overlay.nix
To use this file, checkout the repository and add a symbolic link to
the `moz-overlay.nix` file in `~/.nixpkgs/overlays` directory.
This adds pulseaudio.daemon.config, which is a set of keys to values
which are directly translated to keys and values of pulseaudio's
daemon.conf, e. g.
hardware.pulseaudio.daemon.config = { flat-volumes = "no"; }
becomes
flat-volumes=no
in pulse/daemon.conf.
The reason being less mental overhead when reading upstream
documentation. Examples can be pasted right into the configuration
instead of translating to Nix attrset first.
Make sure that the output of the sieve compiler produces files that

ckb is a driver for Corsair keyboards/mice. It also contains a graphical tool for configuring their LED backlight settings.
The driver is implemented as a userland daemon. A NixOS module is included that runs this as a systemd service.
The content of programs.zsh.interactiveShellInit was

This reverts commit 712e62c260.
This commit broke NixOS containers. Systemd wouldn't detect if a container
started successfully and would kill it again after a grace period.
Additionally this prints mount errors due to already mounted filesystems
at boot.
I have left in 2 NixOS custom config directives, so the configuration
should be the same with the only change in behaviour being that the
service is not eagerly loaded but in fact only socket activated, which
it should be.
Using outputsToInstall the intended behaviour of including host and dnsutils
when bind is installed can be implemented instead of using symlinks to fix
installing all outputs individually with nix-env.

/etc/hostname is the file used by hostnamectl(1) and the
org.freedesktop.hostname1 dbus service (both provided by systemd) to get
the "static hostname". Better provide it so that users of those

An example of an issue created by the lack of /etc/hostname is that the
bluetooth stack on NixOS identifies itself to peers as "BlueZ $VERSION"
instead of the hostname.

Overlayfs is quite a bit faster, e.g. with it the KDE 5 test takes ~7m
instead of ~30m on my laptop (which is still not great, since plain
9pfs is ~4m30s).
The structured options are incomplete compared to upstream and I think
it will be a maintenance burden to try to keep up. Instead, provide an
option for the raw config file contents (prometheus.yml).
Ensure that archive members are added in sorted order with a fixed
mtime. This allows `nix-build --check` to succeed (when building a
tarball of a simple system configuration).
We also remove env-vars which doesn't appear to do much apart from
capture a bunch of store paths we probably don't want.

From the upstream changelog:
* Tesseract development is now done with Git and hosted at github.com
(Previously we used Subversion as a VCS and code.google.com for
hosting).
So let's move over to the GitHub repository, where the organisation also
includes a full repository for tessdata, so we no longer need to fetch
it one-by-one.
The build also got significantly simpler, because we no longer need to
run autoconf, neither do we need to patch the configure script for
Leptonica headers.
This also has the advantage that we don't need to use the
enableLanguages attribute for the test runner anymore.

Otherwise it starts way too early, only to fail and having to restart
until devices are available. It is less wasteful to simply wait until
there's a reasonable chance of success. This is consistent with
upstream.
networkd options are always correct or up to date. This option allows to by
pass type checking. It is also easier to write because examples can be just copy
and paste from manpages.
Networkd units can contain secrets. In future also wireguard vpn will be supported by
networkd. To avoid leakage of private keys, those could be then also put outside
of the /nix/store
Having a writeable /etc/systemd/network also allows to quick fix network issues,
when upgrading `nixos-rebuild switch` would require network on its own (due
updates).

- most nixos user only require time synchronisation,
while ntpd implements a battery-included ntp server (1,215 LOCs of C-Code vs 64,302)
- timesyncd support ntp server per interface (if configured through dhcp for instance)
- timesyncd is already included in the systemd package, switching to it would
save a little disk space (1,5M)
The collectd service runs as an unprivileged user by default, so it does
not leak more information to its data directory than any user can obtain

If people are running it as root and are worried about information leak,

This commit introduces a nixos module for the Openstack Keystone
service. It also provides a optional bootstrap step that creates some
basic initial resources (tenants, endpoints,...).
The provided test starts Keystone by enabling bootstrapping and checks
if user creation works well.
This commit is based on initial works made by domenkozar.
Split packages in three categories, all of them going into the system
package list:
- pre-requisite packages
- core packages
- optional packages
Add a new configuration option 'environment.lxqt.excludePackages' to
specify optional LXQt packages that should be excluded from system
packages.
Add 'gvfs' as a pre-requisite package, needed by 'pcmanfm-qt' to
handle virtual places, like "Computer" and "Network".
The boot tests import test-instrumentation.nix directly to create a VM
image that only contains things such as the backdoor and serial console
the same way as used by other NixOS VM tests.
With one difference though: It doesn't need nor want to have 9p
filesystems mounted, because we actually want to test an image rather
than re-using most stuff from the host's store.
Change tested against the boot.uefiUsb and ipv6 tests, just that it
becomes clear we don't break either the tests with 9p nor the boot
tests (which were already broken but now succeed).

tune2fs marks the filesystem as clean to prevent resize2fs from

`systemd.hideProcessInformation = true`, would break interactions

Fairly severe, but can be disabled at bootup via

Previously, we would only set a default value, on the theory that
`boot.kernelPackages` could be used to sanely configure a custom grsec
kernel. Regrettably, this is not the case and users who expect e.g.,
`boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest` to work will end up
with a non-grsec kernel (this problem has come up twice on the bug
tracker recently).
With this patch, `security.grsecurity.enable = true` implies
`boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_grsec_nixos` and any customization
must be done via package override or by eschewing the module.
Fixes#20713, though I'm certain nixpkgs contains loads of places
without proper quoting, as (ba)sh unfortunately encourages that.
The only plus side is that most of such problems in nixpkgs aren't
actually security problems but mere annoyance to those who are foolish
enough to use "weird" characters in critical names.
Allows one or more directories to be mounted as a read-only file system.
This makes it convenient to run volatile containers that do not retain
application state.
The configuration { services.openssh.enable = true;
services.openssh.forwardX11 = false; } caused
programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation to be set to false, which was not the
intent. The intent is that programs.ssh.setXAuthLocation should be
automatically enabled if needed or if xauth is already available.

Using a custom package set with the NixOS module is no longer
something I wish to support. It's still *possible* but not
advertised. Secondly, the requiredKernelConfig didn't really
do anything (setting kernelPackages to a non-grsec kernel would
just silently let the user boot into a non-grsec setup ...).
Network Manager calls dhclient on container interfaces and fails

The reason to patch QEMU is that with latest Nix, tests like "printing"
or "misc" fail because they expect the store paths to be owned by uid 0
and gid 0.
Starting with NixOS/nix@5e51ffb1c2, Nix
builds inside of a new user namespace. Unfortunately this also means
that bind-mounted store paths that are part of the derivation's inputs
are no longer owned by uid 0 and gid 0 but by uid 65534 and gid 65534.
This in turn causes things like sudo or cups to fail with errors about
insecure file permissions.
So in order to avoid that, let's make sure the VM always gets files
owned by uid 0 and gid 0 and does a no-op when doing a chmod on a store
path.
In addition, this adds a virtualisation.qemu.program option so that we
can make sure that we only use the patched version if we're *really*
running NixOS VM tests (that is, whenever we have imported
test-instrumentation.nix).
Tested against the "misc" and "printing" tests.

The old etcd port 4001 is no longer enabled by default in etcd 3.
The new port is 2379 and is officially assigned by IANA.
There were still some services left that expect etcd on port 4001 by default.
This changes the default to 2379 everywhere.
It should not cause problems for users as the etcd by nix does listen on the new port only by default anyway.

The update process of Chromium has been a bit bumpy on our side, because
version 54 also did the switch from GYP to GN so it wasn't just a matter
of updating the upstream-info file.
I've tested the Flash plugin (which runs fine) and WideVine manually,
although I couldn't get WideVine to work (I was running this within a VM
though).
So if people want to use WideVine they need to use Chrome instead until
we got this sorted out.

Sometimes it happens that the "Type to search or enter a URL to

whether Chromium has finished starting up.

This needs to be included for VirtualBox to detect that it needs to start the video driver.
