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.

Eelco Dolstra 25dbf1594e * Updates for the new udev and util-linux-ng: fsck is now in 
util-linux-ng instead of e2fsprogs, blkid is in util-linux-ng, and
  we need to manually create /dev/.udev prior to starting udevd for
  some reason.

Eelco Dolstra 6802a75076 * nixos-rebuild: replaced some environment variables with options 
(e.g. --install-grub instead of $NIXOS_INSTALL_GRUB).  Also support
  some nix-build options (e.g. --show-trace and -j).

Eelco Dolstra c45cf3a28e * In the jobs attribute, support a more high-level way of specifying 
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.)

Eelco Dolstra 9704472d1c Some hacks to support clean shutdowns of VMs that mount the Nix store 
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.

Eelco Dolstra 0b39f614e9 * Don't wait for CIFS "devices" (//share/path) to appear since they

Eelco Dolstra 16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default). 
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...

Eelco Dolstra 1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the 
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).
