Eelco Dolstra
82c3e2aa50 * Updated poweroff/reboot/maintenance mode for Upstart 0.6. Upstart
no longer emits specific events for those.  Instead it emits a
  "runlevel" event.  The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
  perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
  no longer works.  Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
  running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
  remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
  console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged
  in on tty1, bad things will happen.

11022e8d9f * Back out r17946 and 17948 because it doesn't work. I've seen it
fail to update /etc twice now.  It's also unnecessarily complex
  IMHO (see nix-dev).

893f13bb14 Some boot optimisations attempted. My system boots a few times faster now, and I cannot see how these can break things.

a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

2892aed712 * lib/eval-config.nix: combined "configuration" and "extraModules"
into one argument "modules".
* release.nix: fixed the manual job.
* ISO generation: break an infinite recursion.  Don't know why this
  suddenly happens.  Probably because of the nixpkgs.config change,
  but I don't see why.  Maybe the option evaluation is too strict.

25dbf1594e * Updates for the new udev and util-linux-ng: fsck is now in
util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs, blkid is in util-linux-ng, and
  we need to manually create /dev/.udev prior to starting udevd for
  some reason.

16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default).
This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
  journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
  few seconds.  I'd love to know why this is the case...

1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).
