<para>You can now pin a specific version of NixOS in your <filename>configuration.nix</filename>
|
|
|
|
by setting:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
|
|
nixos.path = ./nixpkgs-unstable-2015-12-06/nixos;
|
|
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will make NixOS re-evaluate your configuration with the modules of
|
|
|
|
the specified NixOS version at the given path. For more details, see

<command>wmii_hg</command>, but

<command>services.xserver.windowManager.wmii.enable</command> has

been updated respectively so this only affects you if you have

explicitly installed <command>wmiiSnap</command>.

<para><command>wmiimenu</command> is removed, as it has been

removed by the developers upstream. Use <command>wimenu</command>

<para>Gitit is no longer automatically added to the module list in
|
|
|
|
NixOS and as such there will not be any manual entries for it. You
|
|
|
|
will need to add an import statement to your NixOS configuration
|
|
|
|
in order to use it, e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[

imports = [ <nixos/modules/services/misc/gitit.nix> ];

}

will include the Gitit service configuration options.</para>

<para><command>nginx</command> does not accept flags for enabling and

disabling modules anymore. Instead it accepts <literal>modules</literal>

argument, which is a list of modules to be built in. All modules now
|

reside in <literal>nginxModules</literal> set. Example configuration:
