Did this for Nagios. Soon we can rename upstart-jobs to
services/plugins/whatever (i.e. an Upstart job will just be
one kind of configuration item that a plugin can declare).

Just set nix.distributedBuilds to true and nix.buildMachines
to a list of machines that can perform Nix builds via SSH,
and local builds will be forwarded appropriately. So now
any user can say something like
nix-build /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/ --arg system '"powerpc-linux"' -A libxml2
and the build for powerpc-linux will be forwarded to a machine
of that type.

sets that match the hierarchical structure of the options. So
instead of
{
name = ["time" "timeZone"];
default = "CET";
example = "America/New_York";
description = "The time zone used when displaying times and dates.";
}
we have
time = {
timeZone = {
default = "CET";
example = "America/New_York";
description = "The time zone used when displaying times and dates.";
};
};
And instead of `config.get ["time" "timeZone"]' you can now just say
`config.time.timeZone'. Furthermore, this option representation
will allow option structures with repetition (such as in
networking.interfaces or services.httpd.subservices) to be defined.

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.

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.

don't need to be subscribed to the Nixpkgs channel to get binary downloads.
This is possible because nix-pull is now pretty fast.

for cables being plugged in or unplugged. When this occurs, the
dhclient service is restarted to automatically obtain a new IP
address. This is useful for roaming users (laptops).

environment = {
extraPackages = pkgs: [
pkgs.firefox
pkgs.thunderbird
];
};
This approach is often actually nicer than adding to the default
profile using nix-env, since it's declarative, and all packages
declared here will be updated automatically when you run
nixos-rebuild.
* Allow additional setuid programs to be specified in
security.extraSetuidPrograms.
