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.)

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.

This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
few seconds. I'd love to know why this is the case...

size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB. Hopefully
it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).

* Renamed config.system.shell to config.users.defaultUserShell and
updated the description to make clear it has to be a non-store
path.

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.
