Adding support for the kind of bootloader in raspberrypi. Disable grub,
disable generationsDir, enable boot.loader.raspberrypi.
Usual layout expected: /boot being the first vfat the board reads blobs from.
If the user tries to run a program that doesn't exist from Bash, the
program name is looked up in a database that maps to Nix package
names. If it is found, we print out a message like:
$ pdflatex
The program ‘pdflatex’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
several packages. You can install it by typing one of the following:
nix-env -i tetex
nix-env -i texlive-core
If the environment variable $NIX_AUTO_INSTALL is set, the command is
installed and executed automatically:
$ hello --version
The program ‘hello’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
the package ‘hello’, which I will now install for you.
installing `hello-2.8'
hello (GNU hello) 2.8

To use this, you must currently manually put the SQLite programs
database in /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite. In the future, this file
should be provided as part of the NixOS channel so it gets updated
automatically. To get a test version:
$ curl http://nixos.org/~eelco/programs.sqlite.xz | xz -d > /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite
Cgroups are handled by systemd now. Systemd's cgroup support does not
do all the things that cgrulesengd does, but they're likely to
interact poorly with each other.
Since the logstash config file seemed very similar to a nixexpr, I decided
to map directly from nixexprs to logstash configs. I didn't realize until
too far in that this solution was probably way over-engineered, but it
works.
Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a
much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd. In particular, BusyBox
contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for
NFS boots. It's also much more convenient for rescue situations
because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more
tools (including vi).
currently activated NixOS. This is "0.1pre-svn" when built from a
SVN tree, but contains the actual revision when installed from the
NixOS channel or from the ISO.
