unmounted or at least remounted read-only during shutdown. Upstart
0.6 apparently uses nscd to do some name lookups, resulting in it
holding some mmap mappings to deleted files in /var/run/nscd.
E.g. lsof shows:
init 1 root DEL REG 253,0 1850313 /var/run/nscd/dbyn3Piz
init 1 root DEL REG 253,0 1850312 /var/run/nscd/dbt2e8PH
See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324900.
This is a workaround - it would be better if Upstart didn't do this.

no longer emits specific events for those. Instead it emits a
"runlevel" event. The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
no longer works. Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged

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.

driver (in services.xserver.videoDriver), the X server is now given
a set of drivers, and will use PCI ids to find the right one.
The only problem is that the choice of OpenGL driver (the
/var/run/opengl-driver symlink) depends on what driver is selected
at runtime (i.e. the NVIDIA implementation for "nvidia", and Mesa
for all other drivers). However this isn't a big problem right now
since "nvidia" isn't included in the default set of drivers anyway
for legal reasons.
* `services.xserver.resolutions' now defaults to [], meaning that the
X server should figure out the desired resolution(s) itself.
Likewise, `services.xserver.defaultDepth' defaults to 0 to let the X
server figure it out.

fetch definitions of oldest options and to add them inside the new option.
Properties are still valid and will not be affected by the renaming. e.g:
with: rename alias "foo.bar" to "baz.quz"
and with the following module:
{
foo.bar = (mkOverride 10 {}) 42;
baz.quz = 21;
}
the result of baz.quz would be 42 because the priority is still working
after the renaming.

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.

default session is selected. This is because we always want to run
our own initialisation (like starting ssh-agent).
* ssh-agent: don't start it is a child but have it re-exec the
xsession script. This ensures that ssh-agent quits when we log out.
* In the xsession script, don't redirect output to ~/.xsession-errors
if the display manager is kdm, since kdm already does that. In fact
it uses ~/.xsession-errors<optional number> if there are concurrent
X sessions.
* For consistency with other distros and the xdm manpage, exec the
~/.xsession script instead of sourcing it. Do this for the "custom"
session type provided by kdm.

* tcpEnable -> enableTCP for naming consistency.
* defaultDepth can be set to 0 to leave it undefined (needed for the

be set from the NixOS configuration. For instance, you can say
nixpkgs.config.firefox.enableGeckoMediaPlayer = true;
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.firefox ];
but the more interesting application is to apply global overrides to
Nixpkgs throughout NixOS, e.g.
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs:
{ glibc = pkgs.glibc27;
gcc = pkgs.gcc42;
};
would build the whole system with Glibc 2.7 and GCC 4.2. (There are
some issues with "useFromStdenv" in all-packages.nix that need to be
fixed for packages in the stdenv bootstrap though.)
The implementation of this option is kind of evil though due to the
need to prevent a circularity between the evaluation of
nixpkgs.config and the "pkgs" module argument.

* Let ConsoleKit track the current logins instead of pam_console.
Udev now takes care of setting the device permissions to the active
user. This works much better, since pam_console wouldn't apply
permissions to new (hot-plugged) devices. Also, the udev+ConsoleKit
approach supports user switching. (We don't have that for X yet,
but it already works for logins on virtual consoles: if you switch
between different users on differents VCs with Alt+Fn, the device
ownership will be changed automatically.)
