Eelco Dolstra ebb43a3f67 * Make the location of Nixpkgs a function argument (defaulting 
to ../../nixpkgs).  This makes the "pkgs" symlink under the 
  nixos checkout unnecessary.

Eelco Dolstra 95d41d5e27 * Allow the location of Nixpkgs to be specified through $NIXPKGS. 
* $NIXOS_NO_PULL: changed to $NIXOS_PULL (which should be set to "0"
  to disable pulling).
* New variable $NIXOS_BUILD_NIX, which can be set to "0" to disable
  building nixUnstable from Nixpkgs.

Eelco Dolstra ce250ffb37 * Installation CD: include a lot of modules (SATA, PATA, Firewire, 
USB, some SCSI controllers) in the initrd for mounting the CD.
* Add nix-hardware-scan to the system.
* Upstart: don't use the -v flag.

svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=10405
 2008-01-30 14:16:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9fd5d70968 * The CD is now a true live CD: you can run Nix operations in it 
thanks to unionfs.  For instance, nix-env and nixos-rebuild work.
  The tricky part was to build a Nix database (in the tmpfs/unionfs)
  which is now necessary to prevent store paths on the CD from being
  deleted right away because they otherwise wouldn't be valid.
  
* nixos-install: use the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix from the target
  file system (don't copy it anymore).  Since the user is supposed to
  mount the target file system on /mnt anyway, we may as well require
  that configuration.nix is placed in /mnt/etc/nixos.  This also makes
  upgrading / reinstalling much easier, since it will automatically
  use the right configuration.nix.

 2008-01-30 01:28:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fcef0545be * A program for generating the hardware-specific bits of 
configuration.nix.  Right now it finds out the following:

  - How many CPUs the machine has (for nix.maxJobs).
  - Whether to load KVM support (either kvm-intel or kvm-amd).
  - The modules necessary for the initrd by scanning the PCI and USB
    busses.  Only mass-storage and HID related modules are added.

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 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.

 2007-03-20 13:01:53 +00:00
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

  This should be run after a successful installation if you want to
  keep NixOS up to date from Subversion.

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

  we're not actually installing from a CD).
