Eelco Dolstra 9da275c388 * nixos-checkout: don't subscribe to the Nixpkgs channel anymore,
it's not really needed.  (Suggested by Cyril Romain.)

Eelco Dolstra f4399a1883 * Option to set the Grub background image. To
get the background image to work, you may need
  to set NIXOS_INSTALL_GRUB=1 when calling
  nixos-rebuild to force Grub to be reinstalled
  with splashimage support.

Eelco Dolstra 35f5252630 * If building nixFallback fails, use nixUnstable from Nixpkgs as
a last-chance fallback.

Michael Raskin 189a608cf5 Now copyKernels allows both /nix/store and /boot be on separate partitions (you need to specify where /boot is for this).

Michael Raskin b494c20cb5 Small correction to xserver.nix for compiz; also nixos-checkout now creates services where it should be.

Eelco Dolstra b9dd7509b6 * nixos-rebuild: before building NixOS, first build the latest Nix and
use that one to build NixOS.  This will make it easier to use
  bleeding-edge features in the NixOS expressions.

svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=9336
2007-09-18 15:38:05 +00:00
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
don't need to be subscribed to the Nixpkgs channel to get binary downloads.
  This is possible because nix-pull is now pretty fast.

Eelco Dolstra c10fe148a3 * /var/run/current-system symlinks to the top-level path of the system
configuration now.
* /var/run/booted-system symlinks to the system configuration used at
  boot time.

Eelco Dolstra 582abdaae2 * Option boot.copyKernels to copy all kernels and initrd to
/boot/kernels.  This is necessary if /nix is on a different file
  system than /.  (And it will allow us to support a separate /boot
  partition too.)

Eelco Dolstra 923348b490 * Provide a script "nixos-checkout" to replace the NixOS/Nixpkgs
sources in /etc/nixos with a Subversion checkout of those trees.
  This should be run after a successful installation if you want to
  keep NixOS up to date from Subversion.

Eelco Dolstra 6291281358 * Copy the NixOS/Nixpkgs sources to /etc/nixos on the target.
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=7846
2007-02-05 16:23:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4f64075215 * Installer: defaults for all arguments. The NixOS sources are
assumed to be in /etc/nixos/nixos and the system configuration in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.  This is overridable through a few
  environment variables.
* Installer: check that the mount point does in fact have a file
  system mounted on it (so that we don't install in an empty /mnt),
  and don't unmount afterwards for symmetry.

Eelco Dolstra 4b7e9b5401 * Instructions on testing the installer without having to make an ISO
/ burn a CD, namely by making a loopback target file system.
* Installer: continue if the MANIFEST on the CD is missing (useful if
  we're not actually installing from a CD).

Eelco Dolstra 3e7f4280df * activate-configuration.sh: make sure that we're running on a NixOS
installation to prevent horrible accidents.
* Add the kernel parameters to isolinux.cfg.
* Use useradd/groupadd to create users/groups; use Glibc's getent to
  check for existence.
* Create the root account properly.

it does a lot more than just booting), and merged
