IPFS uses the environment variable IPFS_PATH to determine where to look for it's data, which wasn't set previously therefore ignoring the dataDir attribute
to /etc/dd-agent/conf.d by default, and make sure
/etc/dd-agent/conf.d is used.
Before NixOS 17.03, we were using dd-agent 5.5.X which
used configuration from /etc/dd-agent/conf.d
In NixOS 17.03 the default conf.d location is first used relative,
meaning that $out/agent/conf.d was used without NixOS overrides.
This change implements similar functionality as PR #25288, without
breaking backwards compatibility.
(cherry picked from commit 77c85b0ecb)
Provide the option forwardDns in virtualisation.xen.bridge, which
enables forwarding of DNS queries to the default resolver, allowing
outside internet access for the xen guests.
When you have a setup consisting of multiple monitors, the default is
that the first monitor detected by xrandr is set to the primary monitor.
However this may not be the monitor you need to be set as primary. In
fact this monitor set to primary may in fact be disconnected.
This has happened for the original submitter of the pull request and it
affected these programs:
* XMonad: Gets confused with Super + {w,e,r}
* SDDM: Puts the login screen on the wrong monitor, and does not
currently duplicate the login screen on all monitors
* XMobar: Puts the XMobar on the wrong monitor, as it only puts the
taskbar on the primary monitor
These changes should fix that not only by setting a primary monitor in
xrandrHeads but also make it possible to make a different monitor the
primary one.
The changes are also backwards-compatible.
Adds an option `security.lockKernelModules` that, when enabled, disables
kernel module loading once the system reaches its normal operating state.
The rationale for this over simply setting the sysctl knob is to allow
some legitmate kernel module loading to occur; the naive solution breaks
too much to be useful.
The benefit to the user is to help ensure the integrity of the kernel
runtime: only code loaded as part of normal system initialization will be
available in the kernel for the duration of the boot session. This helps
prevent injection of malicious code or unexpected loading of legitimate
but normally unused modules that have exploitable bugs (e.g., DCCP use
after free CVE-2017-6074, n_hldc CVE-2017-2636, XFRM framework
CVE-2017-7184, L2TPv3 CVE-2016-10200).
From an aestethic point of view, enabling this option helps make the
configuration more "declarative".

Use a solid black background when no background image (via
~/.background-image) is provided. In my case this fixes the really
strange behaviour when i3 without a desktop manager starts with the SDDM
login screen as background image.
This eliminates a theoretical risk of ASLR bypass due to the fixed address
mapping used by the legacy vsyscall mechanism. Modern glibc use vdso(7)
instead so there is no loss of functionality, but some programs may fail
to run in this configuration. Programs that fail to run because vsyscall
has been disabled will be logged to dmesg.

The xsession script was called with inconsistent (depending on the
display managers) and wrong parameters. The main reason for this where
the spaces the parameter syntax. In order to fix this the old syntax:
$1 = '<desktop-manager> + <window-manager>'
Will be replaced with a new syntax:
$1 = "<desktop-manager>+<window-manager>"
This assumes that neither "<desktop-manager>" nor "<window-manager>"
contain the "+" character but this shouldn't be a problem.
This patch also fixes the quoting by using double quotes (") instead of
single quotes (') [0].
Last but not least this'll add some comments for the better
understanding of the script.

Upstream has decided to make -testing patches private, effectively ceasing
free support for grsecurity/PaX [1]. Consequently, we can no longer
responsibly support grsecurity on NixOS.
This patch turns the kernel and patch expressions into build errors and
adds a warning to the manual, but retains most of the infrastructure, in
an effort to make the transition smoother. For 17.09 all of it should
probably be pruned.

The xen-bridge service accepts the option prefixLength, but does not
use it to set the actual netmask on the bridge. This commit makes
it set the correct netmask.
Right now the `programs.zsh.syntax-highlighting.highlighters` option
lacks appropriate validation which can cause confusing things when
mistyping a higlighter for zsh-syntax-highlighting.
Someone on IRC wanted to boot Fedora from another disk. While I'm not
too familiar with UEFI booting in conjunction with GRUB2 it took some
time to get it to work.
So in order to safe others from frustration I'm adding this as another
example to the extraEntries option.
