The <literal>pkgs</literal> argument to NixOS modules can now be set directly using <literal>nixpkgs.pkgs</literal>. Previously, only the <literal>system</literal>, <literal>config</literal> and <literal>overlays</literal> arguments could be used to influence <literal>pkgs</literal>.

A NixOS system can now be constructed more easily based on a preexisting invocation of Nixpkgs. For example:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
inherit (pkgs.nixos {
|
|
boot.loader.grub.enable = false;
|
|
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/xvda1";
|
|
}) toplevel kernel initialRamdisk manual;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
This benefits evaluation performance, lets you write Nixpkgs packages that depend on NixOS images and is consistent with a deployment architecture that would be centered around Nixpkgs overlays.
