description) to allow all kernel-related packages to be overriden
easily. For instance, you can now say in configuration.nix
boot = {
kernelPackages = pkgs: pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25;
};
to use Linux 2.6.25.x. Externel kernel module packages (like
the NVIDIA drivers) appropriate for this kernel will then be used
automatically.

add `/var/run/current-system/sw/lib' to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'. This should allow
NSS modules to be added and taken into account by applications without
the need to reboot.

Currently, the solution is a bit hackish since running applications
will not work after a `nixos-rebuild' because `libnss_mdns' is not
in their `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.

This is really a hack since programs not known to `system.nix' will not be in the path
of `activate-configuration', which consequently creates empty `.real' files under
`/var/setuid-wrappers'. I don't know what the best way to address this is: let admins
write `.real' files by hand? Add a `setuidPackages' attribute, listing the names of
packages that contain the binaries listed in `setuidPrograms'?

( added \n in config concatenation as well )
added serviceProposal, examples see upstart-jobs/newProposal/*.nix
enhancement: everything belonging to one job is within the same file
(was: upstart-jobs/default.nix, options.nix and the job file)
drawback: options won't be included within the manual
(can be fixed see comments in options.nix)
comment: looking at the funtion newProposalJobs maybe it's overkill?
Hope it pays off if we start having dozens of small different services..

USB, some SCSI controllers) in the initrd for mounting the CD.
* Add nix-hardware-scan to the system.
* Upstart: don't use the -v flag.
* Include the NixOS version in the ISO image filename.
* Include testdisk and ms-sys in the CD.
* Some bugfixes in the installer.

appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs). This allows you
to run Nix operations on the Live CD. However, we're not quite
there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database. So for
instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
hanging the system.

default since it doesn't seem to have the legal issues of
the Intel 2200 firmware.)
* Firmware loader: don't write in /tmp. Also a hack to quickly
test new firmwares.
* Revert r10105 since the build fails if configuration.nix
is a symlink. Anyway copying configuration.nix does not
necessarily make sense since it can import other expressions,
which would also have to be copied. Perhaps a better
approach would be to write a serialisation of the config
to a file (maybe with builtins.toXML).

get the background image to work, you may need
to set NIXOS_INSTALL_GRUB=1 when calling
nixos-rebuild to force Grub to be reinstalled

Just set nix.distributedBuilds to true and nix.buildMachines
to a list of machines that can perform Nix builds via SSH,
and local builds will be forwarded appropriately. So now
any user can say something like
nix-build /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/ --arg system '"powerpc-linux"' -A libxml2
and the build for powerpc-linux will be forwarded to a machine
of that type.

sets that match the hierarchical structure of the options. So
instead of
{
name = ["time" "timeZone"];
default = "CET";
example = "America/New_York";
description = "The time zone used when displaying times and dates.";
}
we have
time = {
timeZone = {
default = "CET";
example = "America/New_York";
description = "The time zone used when displaying times and dates.";
};
};
And instead of `config.get ["time" "timeZone"]' you can now just say
`config.time.timeZone'. Furthermore, this option representation
will allow option structures with repetition (such as in
networking.interfaces or services.httpd.subservices) to be defined.
