- IMO using a temporary is not needed here (anymore),
- temporary at that location can cause a problem (in a specific case):
for example, when using the substituteAll function from nixpkgs
on a single file directly under /nix/store/ (or ./foo-file),
the stdenv's substitute tries to create a temporary directly under
/nix/store, which causes problems on chrooted darwin
(according to @copumpkin earlier today on IRC)
Testing showed the linux build is sensitive to /usr/include/ncursesw
unless chrooted (on non-nixos).
On a single chrooted nixos machine, -A linux is binary reproducible.

A working /sbin/shutdown (usually provided by systemd) is required by
"rtcwake -m off". Creating a circular dependency on systemd for this
just isn't worth the trouble, so take the straightforward way out.
One could easily make the argument that rtcwake wants to shut down the
*currently running system*, and that the correct API for that *is* in
fact /run/current-system. And it makes a very tempting sort of sense.
@vcunat moved to postPatch and added #FIXME.
OCaml-safepass is a library offering facilities for the safe storage of
user passwords. By "safe" we mean that passwords are salted and hashed
using the Bcrypt algorithm. Salting prevents rainbow-table based
attacks, whereas hashing by a very time-consuming algorithm such as
Bcrypt renders brute-force password cracking impractical.

During install, the bootloader script gets run inside a chroot after the
/etc/group bind-mount is unmounted. Since we're not doing any building,
this should be safe, but really nix should just not care if the group
does not exist when no build is needed.
Fixes #5494
Since the 4.2.8 upgrade, ntpd is broken on NixOS:
Dec 28 19:06:54 hagbard ntpd[27723]: giving up resolving host 1.nixos.pool.ntp.org: Servname not supported for ai_socktype (-8)
This appears to be because DNS resolution doesn't work in chroots
anymore (due to /etc being missing). So disable chroots for now. It's
probably better to use systemd's containment facilities anyway.
Note that elm has a different package split: The old Elm 0.13 package
is now elm-compiler, elm-make and elm-package.
Instead of invoking "elm" one now has to use "elm-make".
I kept the 0.13 version of elm around in case someone depends
on it.
