Eelco Dolstra e91d882a94 * Converted modules that were still using the old (concrete syntax)
style of declaring Upstart jobs.  While at it, converted them to the
  current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
  Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

Nicolas Pierron 2969f36b15 Add the computation of upstart-packages inside the job sub-module by adding
the option named "upstartPkg".

Move the obsolete option "services.extraJobs" to the rename module.

Marc Weber d0c68bc9ab adding jobAttrs which is filled from jobs contents
Purpose: Allow overwriding of properties such as:
           config.jobAttrs.sshd.startOn = "never";

thanks to Nicolas Pierron for reviewing and
extending nixpkgs to make this possible

I'll convert most of the jobs ASAP so please don't care
about the depreceateion much right now

Eelco Dolstra 636a9e7e32 * Add rename clauses for the old Grub options.
* Renamed some of the new Grub options to more sensible names
  (e.g. extraGrubEntries to extraEntries, bootMount to bootDevice,
  etc.).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 75f6cd20da Making modular my previous changes for armv5tel. I updated the way to use
grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.

I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

Nicolas Pierron 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.

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra c45cf3a28e * In the jobs attribute, support a more high-level way of specifying
jobs, e.g. (from the nscd job)

    { name = "nscd";

      description = "Name Service Cache Daemon";

      startOn = "startup";
      stopOn = "shutdown";

      environment = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = nssModulesPath; };
        
      preStart =
        ''
          mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/run/nscd
          mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/db/nscd
        '';

      exec = "${pkgs.glibc}/sbin/nscd -f ${./nscd.conf} -d 2> /dev/null";
    };

  The Upstart job is generated from this.  The main goal is to provide
  some abstraction from the Upstart syntax.  For instance, this should
  make it easier to upgrade to newer versions of Upstart, to switch to
  an entirely different process management system (e.g. initng or
  launchd), or to test a job independantly from Upstart.  (However the
  startOn and stopOn attributes are tied to Upstart's event model.)

Eelco Dolstra 9704472d1c Some hacks to support clean shutdowns of VMs that mount the Nix store
ove QEMU (and other NixOS instances that use a remote filesystem like
NFS):

* Don't take down the network interfaces during shutdown.
* Don't try to unmount the Nix store.  Usually, this doesn't work
  because it's still in use, but on remote filesystems like CIFS the
  `-f' umount flag actually works.
