It's been 8.5 years since NixOS used mingetty, but the option was
never renamed (despite the file definining the module being renamed in
9f5051b76c ("Rename mingetty module to agetty")).
I've chosen to rename it to services.getty here, rather than
services.agetty, because getty is implemantation-neutral and also the
name of the unit that is generated.
This command was useful when NixOS was spread across multiple
repositories, but now it's pretty pointless (and obfuscates what
happens, i.e. "git clone git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git").
mmc_block and sdhci_acpi are both necessary for a Bay Trail Chromebook with an
internal eMMC drive. The sdhci_acpi module is detectable but I can not figure
out a way to check whether the mmc_block module is needed by just looking at
/sys/
Fixes#2379.
The new name was a misnomer because the values really are X11 video
drivers (e.g. ‘cirrus’ or ‘nvidia’), not OpenGL implementations. That
it's also used to set an OpenGL implementation for kmscon is just
confusing overloading.
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
