Eelco Dolstra cc357c7e64 nixos-rebuild: Add a convenience option ‘--upgrade’
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-channel --update nixos’ before
running ‘nixos-rebuild’.

Eelco Dolstra 29b05fb62a * nixos-checkout: add an argument to specify the directory where the
sources should be stored.  E.g. "nixos-checkout /home/eelco/srcs"
  will check out to /home/eelco/srcs/{nixos,nixpkgs}.  Probably the
  /etc/nixos default should be removed eventually because /etc is a
  pretty weird place to keep large source trees.

Eelco Dolstra 846cb81234 * Comment out the "Configuration in home directory" chapter.
Everything described in that chapter is a bug (e.g. needing to
  manually create symlinks) that properly belongs in the issue tracker
  or wiki, not in the manual.

Eelco Dolstra be189991e0 * Revert r33928: veth* can also be a bridged interface requiring dhcp.
See e.g. https://nixos.org/repos/nix/configurations/trunk/tud/stan.nix

  So we need a better solution for this...

Sander van der Burg 11d2cd78e0 - deployment.targetHost is now used for connecting to remote hosts instead of deployment.hostname. This makes more sense.

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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 093b51a562 Removing references to linux kernel 'vmlinuz', and making them point to 'bzImage'.
That should match with a related change in nixpkgs.

Eelco Dolstra deb4f88c2c * Let the GRUB menu builder detect whether /boot is on a different
partition from /.  If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
  use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file.  This
  makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete.  (Is there a
  way to mark obsolete options?)  It also makes it unnecessary to set
  boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
  available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very
  large.
