Eelco Dolstra 5c1f8cbc70 Move all of NixOS to nixos/ in preparation of the repository merge 2013-10-10 13:28:20 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 3a23e6dd31 Remove reference to non-existant config.tests 2013-09-03 15:14:55 +02:00
Rickard Nilsson f9b05ac1fe Parameterise the path to nixpkgs.
This makes it possible to build several NixOS systems that use different
nixpkgs in the same nix-build invocation. Today, you can't do that since
the <nixpkgs> path reference is hard-coded in lib/eval-config.nix.

Mathijs Kwik 26bf696350 Revert "allow out-of-tree nixos modules"
This reverts commit b609ff4fcf.

It turns out this can just be done using "require".
2012-07-21 18:30:58 +02:00
Mathijs Kwik b609ff4fcf allow out-of-tree nixos modules
The environment variable "NIXOS_EXTRA_MODULES" is now checked to
contain a path to a file similar to modules/module-list.nix.

This gives the ability to include nixos modules that are not in the
nixos source tree.

This can be useful for modules that are still experimental, or which
aren't useful for other nixos users. Of course, this was already
possible to do this using a forked nixos tree, but with this
functionality, you can just rely on the nixos channel, easing things a
lot.

Eelco Dolstra 29d84af677 * Remove the use of the NIXPKGS and NIXOS environment variables.
Instead use $NIX_PATH.  NIXOS_CONFIG is still supported.

Eelco Dolstra c1295661c4 * Added a command `nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader'. This is
like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
  1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd.  Thus
  it allows testing of GRUB.

Eelco Dolstra 194a24bcf1 * Support a `system' argument for if you want to do hacky things like
change a NixOS installation from x86_64-linux to i686-linux (or vice
  versa if you have distributed builds enabled - I used this upgrade
  from 32-bit to 64-bit NixOS).

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 89ef5c979b * New nixos-rebuild action: "nixos-rebuild build-vm" builds a virtual
machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
  configuration.  This is mostly useful for testing configuration
  changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
  "nixos-rebuild test").  The VM can be started as follows:

  $ nixos-rebuild build-vm
  $ ./result/bin/run-*-vm

  which starts a KVM/QEMU instance.  Additional QEMU options can be
  passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
  (e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
  guest).  The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
  configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
  can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices.  Instead, at
  startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
  store the VM's root filesystem.

  Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
  store with the host (through a CIFS mount).  However, because the
  Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
  run Nix build actions inside the VM.  Therefore the VM can only be
  reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
  restarting the VM.

Eelco Dolstra 3c6ae39a0d * Refactoring: moved some options out of system/options.nix (almost

Eelco Dolstra 98cce35041 * Turn the top-level derivation of a NixOS configuration ("system")
into a NixOS module (modules/system/activation/top-level.nix -
  couldn't think of a better name).  The top-level derivation is
  returned in config.system.build.system.
* Inlined system.sh in top-level.nix so that we don't have to pass
  everything through environment variables.

Eelco Dolstra 60b3f95ad8 * Move the definition of the set of system packages to
modules/config/system-path.nix.  system/system.nix is now almost
  empty.
* Removed the cleanStart option - it should be possible to get the
  same functionality by overriding config.system.path (or defining
  config.system.systemPackages with a higher priority - don't know if
  that works though).

Eelco Dolstra c155a3f46e * When doing chroot builds, the `build-chroot-dirs' option should
include the closure of /bin/sh.  Otherwise all builders that call
  /bin/sh will fail when using the new chroot implementation, which
  only bind-mounts the inputs of a build rather than the whole Nix
  store.

Nicolas Pierron 892d12bccf - Move some system configuration to options:
* system.nssModules
  * system.modulesTree
  * system.sbin.modprobe
  * system.sbin.mount
  * nix.envVars

- Remove Arguments that can be accessed either by "config" or "pkgs".

- Use the new scheme for upstart-jobs/default.nix.
This is now a configuration file which is imported by system/options.nix.

- Jobs can now include upstart-job/default.nix:
  * upstrat-jobs/cron.nix
  * upstart-jobs/dhclient.nix

=> No Nixos file refers to upstart-jobs/default.nix except if one of its options is require to define an extra job. (e.g.: cron, dhclient)

Eelco Dolstra ce250ffb37 * Installation CD: include a lot of modules (SATA, PATA, Firewire,
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.

Eelco Dolstra cfed953b5f * Option to enable the Intel 3945 firmware. (It's enabled by
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).

Eelco Dolstra b9dd7509b6 * nixos-rebuild: before building NixOS, first build the latest Nix and
use that one to build NixOS.  This will make it easier to use
  bleeding-edge features in the NixOS expressions.

2007-09-18 15:38:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f2780fdc62 * Add a top-level default.nix for NixOS which has attributes useful
for building parts of the system.  E.g.

  $ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A upstartJobs.xserver

  to build the Upstart job for the X server, or

  $ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A kernel

  to build the NixOS kernel.

* /etc/profile.sh: if ~/.nix-defexpr doesn't exist yet, create it as a
  directory and add links to root's channels, /etc/nixos/nixos and
  /etc/nixos/install-source.nix (as "nixpkgs_sys").
  
* boot.useKernel -> boot.kernel.
