* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.
* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.
* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

work yet though. Probably Grub needs some messing with the
savedefault option.

call ck-launch-session from the xsession script.

default session is selected. This is because we always want to run
our own initialisation (like starting ssh-agent).
* ssh-agent: don't start it is a child but have it re-exec the
xsession script. This ensures that ssh-agent quits when we log out.
* In the xsession script, don't redirect output to ~/.xsession-errors
if the display manager is kdm, since kdm already does that. In fact
it uses ~/.xsession-errors<optional number> if there are concurrent
X sessions.
* For consistency with other distros and the xdm manpage, exec the
~/.xsession script instead of sourcing it. Do this for the "custom"
session type provided by kdm.

* Modularised the xorg.conf generation. For instance, the Wacom and
Synaptics support has been moved into separate modules. The
contents of xorg.conf is defined by the option
services.xserver.config, and various other options for specific
sections (e.g. services.xserver.serverLayoutSection).
* displayManager.job.env: made this an attribute set.
* tcpEnable -> enableTCP for naming consistency.
* defaultDepth can be set to 0 to leave it undefined (needed for the
vmware driver).
* Removed some options that seem obsolete or are now the default
(e.g. RenderAccel, AllowGLXWithComposite).
* Removed services.xserver.package. This can now be done using
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides.

- Added rpc.statd service, which prevents messages that tell you that you should use -o nolock
- Create /var/lib/nfs on initialization
- Create /etc/exports, so that exportfs can create /var/lib/nfs/etab. This prevents errors such as: mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

KDM will merge multiple sections with the same name (even though it
complains a bit). Option definitions that occur first have
precedence.

an account. The default (null, as opposed to the empty string)
means not to set a password.

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.

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.

separate module, which just declares a configuration value that
causes the xinetd module to add it to xinetd.conf. Also Nixified
the service declarations to abstract over the inetd implementation.
* Renamed the services.xinetd.tftpd options to services.tftpd. The
fact that the tftpd module uses xinetd is an implementation detail.
* xinetd: use -dontfork to let Upstart monitor it, and use -syslog to
get error messages at startup.
