The option is disabled by default so that previously existing installations
aren't affected.
If you'd like to migrate to the fixed numeric id for Apache, set "fixUidAndGid
= true", edit the file "/etc/groups" and replace the old GID value with 54.
(NixOS can't do that for you because it refuses to change a GID that identifies
the primary group of a user.) Then run
find / -xdev -uid $oldUID -exec chown 54 {} +
find / -xdev -gid $oldGID -exec chgrp 54 {} +
to update ownership of all files that are supposed to be owned by Apache.
- The new option 'apacheHttpd' determines the version of the Apache
HTTP Server that's being used by this module. The default version
is Apache 2.2.x, as before.
- The new option 'configFile' allows users specify their own custom
config file for the web server instead of being limited to the one
that this module generates.
Ugly hack to get around the error "a string that refers to a store
path cannot be appended to a path". The underlying problem is that
you cannot do
"${./file1} ${./file2}"
but you can do
" ${./file1} ${./file2}"
Obviously we should allow the first case as well.
This allows hiding the implementation details for how to represent logstash
config types that don't directly map to nix expressions, particularly floats,
hashes, and name-value pair sets with repeated names. Instead of setting
__type and value directly, the user now uses these convenience functions to
generate their logstash config.
Since the logstash config file seemed very similar to a nixexpr, I decided
to map directly from nixexprs to logstash configs. I didn't realize until
too far in that this solution was probably way over-engineered, but it
works.
The new option ‘skins’ allows specifying a list of directories
providing skins to be added to the MediaWiki installation. The
‘defaultSkin’ option just sets the default.
Enabled a bunch of units that ship with systemd. Also added an option
‘boot.systemd.units’ that can be used to define additional units
(e.g. ‘sshd.service’).
I remember the 'named' log was giving annoying messages on systems not ipv6
capable (I can't recall if lacking the kernel ipv6 code or unconfigured ipv6
addresses).

probably lots of others). The $PATH used to invoke the filter
didn't contain Ghostscript and Perl, so it silently fails. (A nice
property of CUPS is that it will just silently discard the job when
that happens, so you need to set LogLevel to "debug" to see this.)
Fortunately, CUPS now has a "SetEnv" option to set $PATH explicitly.
Also, remove config.system.path from the PATH of CUPS' Upstart job.
It seems to serve no purpose.

challenge-response is an authentication method that does not need the
plain text password to be emitted over the (encrypted) connection.
This is nice if you don't fully trust the server.
It is enabled (upstream) by default.
To the end user, it still looks like normal password authentication,
but instead of sending it, it is used to hash some challenge.
This means that if you don't want passwords to be used ever at all,
and just stick to public key authentication, you probably want to
disable this option too.

You can now set the forwardX11 config option for the ssh client and server separately.
For server, the option means "allow clients to request X11 forwarding".
For client, the option means "request X11 forwarding by default on all connections".
I don't think it made sense to couple them. I might not even run the server on some machines.
Also, I ssh to a lot of machines, and rarely want X11 forwarding. The times I want it,
I use the -X/-Y option, or set it in my ~/.ssh/config.
I also decoupled the 'XAuthLocation' logic from forwardX11.
For my case where ssh client doesn't want forwarding by default, it still wants to set the path for the cases I do need it.
As this flag is the one that pulls in X11 dependencies, I changed the minimal profile and the no-x-libs config to check that instead now.

delete routes and addresses when it quits. This causes those routes
and addresses to stick around forever, since dhcpcd won't delete
them when it runs next (even if it acquires a new lease on the same
interface). This is bad; in particular the stale (default) routes
can break networking.
The downside to removing "persistent" is that you should never ever
do "stop dhcpcd" on a remote machine configured by dhcpcd.

The VirtualBox build in Nixpkgs is insecure because it uses the
"--disable-hardened" flag, which disables some checks in the
VirtualBox kernel module. Since getting rid of that flag looks like
too much work, it's better to ensure that only explicitly permitted
users have access to VirtualBox.

nfsd, as suggested by the nfs-utils README.
Also, rather than relying on Upstart events (which have all sorts of
problems, especially if you have jobs that have multiple
dependencies), we know just let jobs start their on prerequisites.
That is, nfsd starts mountd in its preStart script; mountd starts
statd; statd starts portmap. Likewise, mountall starts statd to
ensure that it can mount NFS filesystems. This means that doing
something like "start nfsd" from the command line will Do The Right
Thing and start the dependencies of nfsd.
