Peter Simons 20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

Shea Levy 9d496c77ac nixpkgs: Always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir
This will allow NixOS modules to always refer to config.nixpkgs.config.nix to find the store or state
directory

Eelco Dolstra a82bfec343 * Add an option ‘deployment.ec2.zone’. For EC2 deployments, this
automatically sets ‘deployment.ec2.controller’ and
  ‘deployment.ec2.ami’ to sensible values.

to date for nixpkgs)

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 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.
