Eelco Dolstra c958902d44 * Added an option "nixpkgs.system" to specify the system type for
which NixOS should be built.  This is useful in NixOS network
  specifications, because it allows machines in the network to have
  different types, e.g.,

    {
      machine1 =
        { config, pkgs, ... }:
        { nixpkgs.system = "i686-linux";
          ... other config ...
        };

      machine2 =
        { config, pkgs, ... }:
        { nixpkgs.system = "x86_64-linux";
          ... other config ...
        };
    }

  It can also be useful in distributed NixOS tests.

Eelco Dolstra eb4c33eeca * Added an option to enable support for 32-bit binaries (such as Wine
or Google Earth) on 64-bit NixOS on NVIDIA hardware.  The 32-bit
  OpenGL library is symlinked from /var/run/opengl-driver-32, which is
  added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that 32-bit binaries can find it.

Nicolas Pierron 06bfb319fe Add extra module argument to provide a nesting.clone option. This option
does the same as nesting.children except that each configuration inherits
from the top-level configuration.

Eelco Dolstra 9359bf11d5 * Build the Subversion test in Hydra (as a regression test for NixOS).
* Pass the location to the services tree around instead of requiring
  it to be in ../services.

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 6f1b1aefde * Added an option `nixpkgs.config' that allows the Nixpkgs options to
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.

Eelco Dolstra f1035de47c * For the generation of manual / manpages, don't evaluate the option
declarations again (because we already have them).  This cuts
  evaluation time from 7.2s to 4.9s.

Eelco Dolstra 89ef5c979b * New nixos-rebuild action: "nixos-rebuild build-vm" builds a virtual
machine containing a replica (minus the state) of the system
  configuration.  This is mostly useful for testing configuration
  changes prior to doing an actual "nixos-rebuild switch" (or even
  "nixos-rebuild test").  The VM can be started as follows:

  $ nixos-rebuild build-vm
  $ ./result/bin/run-*-vm

  which starts a KVM/QEMU instance.  Additional QEMU options can be
  passed through the QEMU_OPTS environment variable
  (e.g. QEMU_OPTS="-redir tcp:8080::80" to forward a host port to the
  guest).  The fileSystem attribute of the regular system
  configuration is ignored (using mkOverride), because obviously we
  can't allow the VM to access the host's block devices.  Instead, at
  startup the VM creates an empty disk image in ./<hostname>.qcow2 to
  store the VM's root filesystem.

  Building a VM in this way is efficient because the VM shares its Nix
  store with the host (through a CIFS mount).  However, because the
  Nix store of the host is mounted read-only in the guest, you cannot
  run Nix build actions inside the VM.  Therefore the VM can only be
  reconfigured by re-running "nixos-rebuild build-vm" on the host and
  restarting the VM.

Eelco Dolstra b56d08fc83 * Move the hardware modules back to the main modules tree. No need
for a separate tree.
  
* Pass the path of the modules tree to modules so that you don't have
  to write absolute paths, e.g. you can say

    require = [ "${modulesPath}/hardware/network/intel-3945abg.nix" ];

  instead of

    require = [ /etc/nixos/nixos/hardware/network/intel-3945abg.nix ];

  The latter is bad because it makes it hard to build from a different
  NixOS source tree.
