Eelco Dolstra 903e92bde6 * Use Upstart's "export fork" feature to properly detect when a daemon
is "ready".  This prevents ugly race conditions, e.g. HAL failing to
  start because dbus hasn't finished starting yet.
* Support post-start scripts.  These are executed after the job's main
  process has started but before the job's "started" event is
  emitted.  For instance, the udev job uses this to perform "udevadm
  trigger / settle" to create all devices.  Previously this had to be
  done in the pre-start script, so the daemon had to started in the
  pre-start script as well.

Nicolas Pierron 8c5b200164 * boor.loader.grub.device can only be defined once.
* Replace an obscure piece of code by its equivalent based on the
  recursiveUpdate function.  Undefined the obsolete name of
  boot.grubDevice to avoid conflicts.

Eelco Dolstra 11022e8d9f * Back out r17946 and 17948 because it doesn't work. I've seen it
fail to update /etc twice now.  It's also unnecessarily complex
  IMHO (see nix-dev).

Eelco Dolstra 5dfaf565bf * On the CD or on a newly installed system, create the root account
with an empty password, rather than with a hashed empty password.
  The latter is a security risk, because it allows remote root logins
  if a user enables sshd before setting a proper root password.
* Allow empty passwords for login and slim, but nothing else.

Eelco Dolstra e91d882a94 * Converted modules that were still using the old (concrete syntax)
style of declaring Upstart jobs.  While at it, converted them to the
  current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
  Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

Marc Weber d0c68bc9ab adding jobAttrs which is filled from jobs contents
Purpose: Allow overwriding of properties such as:
           config.jobAttrs.sshd.startOn = "never";

thanks to Nicolas Pierron for reviewing and
extending nixpkgs to make this possible

I'll convert most of the jobs ASAP so please don't care
about the depreceateion much right now

  etc.).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 75f6cd20da Making modular my previous changes for armv5tel. I updated the way to use
grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.

I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

Nicolas Pierron a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

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.
