Eelco Dolstra 49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD
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.

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).

  with splashimage support.

Eelco Dolstra f6fd10cbd8 * Support for system-wide distributed / multi-platform builds.
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.

Eelco Dolstra 62c1f0ddcc * Converted the option declarations in options.nix to nested attribute
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.

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.

Eelco Dolstra 2a4417d637 * make-etc / activate-configuration: allow /etc files to be installed
as regular files instead of symlinks to the store.
* Sudo configuration, enabled through security.sudo.enable (on by
  default).  The contents of the sudoers file is specified in
  security.sudo.configFile.  The default sudoers file allows members
  of the new "wheel" group to run any command.

Eelco Dolstra ad22e587ab * nixos-rebuild: do a nix-pull on the Nixpkgs channel manifest. I.e., you

Eelco Dolstra c819d76ec7 * Option boot.extraGrubEntries to add arbitrary text to Grub's menu.lst.
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=8883
2007-06-15 11:40:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 29c5178bdf * Declarative specification of user accounts. Jobs can now specify a
list of user accounts that the job needs to run.  For instance, the
  SSH daemon job says:

    { name = "sshd";
      uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
      description = "SSH privilege separation user";
      home = "/var/empty";
    }

  The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
  them as well.  So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
  /etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.

Eelco Dolstra 3ab4e0f17f * Allow packages to be added to the system path like so:
environment = {
    extraPackages = pkgs: [
      pkgs.firefox
      pkgs.thunderbird
    ];
  };

  This approach is often actually nicer than adding to the default
  profile using nix-env, since it's declarative, and all packages
  declared here will be updated automatically when you run
  nixos-rebuild.

* Allow additional setuid programs to be specified in
  security.extraSetuidPrograms.
