The ELK-6.3 stack now comes with

|
|
License</link> the ELK packages now have an unfree license. To use them

you need to specify <literal>allowUnfree = true;</literal> in your nixpkgs

The <literal>pkgs</literal> argument to NixOS modules can now be set

directly using <literal>nixpkgs.pkgs</literal>. Previously, only the

A NixOS system can now be constructed more easily based on a preexisting
|
|
invocation of Nixpkgs. For example:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
inherit (pkgs.nixos {
|
|
boot.loader.grub.enable = false;
|
|
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/xvda1";
|
|
}) toplevel kernel initialRamdisk manual;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
This benefits evaluation performance, lets you write Nixpkgs packages that
|
|
depend on NixOS images and is consistent with a deployment architecture
|
|
that would be centered around Nixpkgs overlays.
