Eelco Dolstra 61bdad6775 nixos-install: Don't bind-mount all of /etc
We only need a copy of /etc/resolv.conf for networking, and
/etc/{passwd,group} for building.

Eelco Dolstra 3ef8d6ad5c nixos-install: Add operation --chroot
"nixos-install --chroot" runs a command (by default a login shell) in
a chroot inside the NixOS installation in /mnt. This might useful for
poking around a new installation.

Eelco Dolstra 4fc151b5a3 nixos-install: Ask the user to set a root password

Eelco Dolstra 8919d736a0 nixos-install: Don't copy the bootstrap Nix if it's already there
This makes re-running nixos-install a bit faster.

Eelco Dolstra 22f102cbdc nixos-install: Assume the build user group is "nixbld"
The build user group is always "nixbld", so no need to detect it.

Eelco Dolstra 8c75ae3838 nixos-generate-config: Use systemd-detect-virt instead of dmidecode
Dmidecode fails in our EFI test with the error "SMBIOS entry point
missing". But we don't need dmidecode because we have already have
systemd-detect-virt.

Eelco Dolstra 3fe96bcca1 Rename hardware.opengl.videoDrivers back to services.xserver.videoDrivers
Fixes #2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.

Eelco Dolstra 5c62d3d26b nixos-rebuild: Handle $SHELL not being bash 2014-04-18 16:05:20 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 00372ca638 nixos-rebuild: Fallback for upgrading Nix
Previously, if the currently installed Nix is too old to evaluate
Nixpkgs, then nixos-rebuild would fail and the user had to upgrade Nix
manually. Now, as a fallback, we run ‘nix-store -r’ to obtain a binary
Nix directly from the binary cache.

Eelco Dolstra f9e6181478 nixos-rebuild: Exec nixos-rebuild from the new Nixpkgs tree
This allows doing any necessary actions that were not in the installed
nixos-rebuild (such as downloading a new version of Nix). This does
require us to be careful that nixos-rebuild is backwards-compatible
(i.e. can run in any old installation).

Eelco Dolstra 29027fd1e1 Rewrite ‘with pkgs.lib’ -> ‘with lib’
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.

As reported by Kirill Elagin, read_file doesn't chomp its output. So

Ricardo M. Correia a146fdab80 nixos-generate-config: Don't generate filesystem options
We don't want to hardcode configuration options that the current kernel chose
for us when mounting the filesystem, since the defaults can change in the
future.

nixos-generate-config: Fix reference to <nixos>.
IIUC, <nixos> is going to be deprecated someday in the future, and as
most of those references are already replaced I guess it's safe to
replace it here as well, as it is only relevant on new/updated
installations.
