This is possible because nix-pull is now pretty fast.

address. This is useful for roaming users (laptops).

list of user accounts that the job needs to run. For instance, the
SSH daemon job says:
{ name = "sshd";
uid = (import ../system/ids.nix).uids.sshd;
description = "SSH privilege separation user";
home = "/var/empty";
}
The activation script creates the system users/groups and updates
them as well. So a change in the Nix expression can be realised in
/etc/{group,passwd} by running nixos-rebuild.

* Put the top-level system config on the CD, otherwise root doesn't
get a working login shell on the CD (and the system PATH is broken
as well).

This approach is often actually nicer than adding to the default
profile using nix-env, since it's declarative, and all packages
declared here will be updated automatically when you run
nixos-rebuild.

hence this indirection.

configuration, and use it as a garbage collection root to prevent
the current configuration from being GC'ed (which was previously
possible if the configuration was activated using "nixos-rebuild
test", or if the configuration's generation symlink had been removed
from the system profile).
This isn't quite right yet due to a layering problem:
activate-configuration.sh doesn't know the top-level store path of
the configuration.

- Set the desktop background to the image ~/.background-image.
- Depending on services.xserver.sessionType, start an xterm or a
gnome-terminal as the "desktop" :-)
* Upstart jobs can now declare extra packages to be added to the
system path through the `extraPath' attribute. For instance, the
ALSA job adds alsa-utils, and the X server job adds lots of stuff
depending on the X configuration (e.g., xrandr, gnome-terminal,
twm).
* Create a cdrom/dvd symlink for SCSI sr? devices.
