This partially reverts commit 0aa7520670.
Fine for rsync to be in system path but we still need the explicit path
in nixos-install in case it is invoked from non-NixOS systems and also
to fix OVA test failure

We were pulling in 44 MiB of fonts in the default configuration, which
is a bit excessive for headless configurations like EC2
instances. Note that dejavu_minimal ensures that remote X11-forwarded
applications still have a basic font regardless.
It appears that packageOverrides no longer overrides aliases, so
aliases like
dbus_tools = self.dbus.out;
dbus_daemon = self.dbus.daemon;
now use the old, non-overriden version of dbus. That seems like a
pretty serious regression in general, but for this particular problem,
I've fixed it by replacing dbus_daemon by dbus.daemon and dbus_tools
by dbus.
This reverts commit 582313bafe.
Removing rsync is actually pointless because nixos-install depends on
it. So if it's part of the system closure, we may as well provide it
to users.
Probably with the next Nix release we can drop the use of rsync and
use "nix copy" instead.
This one was already merged into release-16.09, so let's not have the
stable branch is ahead of master and confuse things. In addition to
that, currently we have an odd situation that master has less things
actually finished building than in staging.

With the multi output, postgresql cannot find at runtime what is its
basedir when looking for libdir and pkglibdir. This commit fixes that.
Before this commit updating /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder introduced
a small window where NixOS activation scripts could be terminated
and resulted into empty /var/setuid-wrappers/ folder.
That's very unfortunate because one might lose sudo binary.
Instead we use two atomic operations mv and ln (as described in
https://axialcorps.com/2013/07/03/atomically-replacing-files-and-directories/)
to achieve atomicity.
Since /var/setuid-wrappers is not a directory anymore, tmpfs mountpoints
were removed in installation scripts and in boot process.
Tested:
- upgrade /var/setuid-wrappers/ from folder to a symlink
- make sure /run/setuid-wrappers-dirs/ legacy symlink is really deleted
Add code to accountsservice that returns an error if the environment
variable NIXOS_USERS_PURE is set. This variable is set from the nixos
accountsservice module if mutableUsers = false
Both btrfs-progs and utillinux are ~5MB, we may discuss in future
to handle this better but I see no better way at the moment than
increaing purity in the install process.
OnCalendar entrys can be specified multiple times in a systemd timer, to
make more complex scheduling possible.
Tested by manually checking the timer generated by the following:
systemd = {
services.huhu = {
description = "meh";
wantedBy = [ "default.target" ];
serviceConfig.ExecStart = "/bin/sh -c 'printf HUHU!'";
startAt = [ "*:*:0/30" "*:0/1:15" ];
};
};
It prints HUHU to the log at seconds 0, 15 and 30 of each minute.
This was one of the ways to build packages, we are trying
hard to minimize different ways so it's easier for newcomers
to learn only one way.
This also:
- removes texLive (old), fixes #14807
- removed upstream-updater, if that code is still used it should be in
separate repo
- changes a few packages like gitit/mit-scheme to use new texlive
Verified that following nixos configuration:
users.users.foo = {
uid = 1000;
name = "foo";
};
users.users.bar = {
name = "bar";
};
Before this commit both users will get uid of 1000, after it's applied
bar will correctly get 1001.
Previously it was only set once, now it is enforced on each start-up of
redis.service. Also set _ownership_ recursively, so that the
/var/lib/redis/dump.rdb file is guaranteed to be accessible by the
currently configured redis user.
Fixes issue #9687, where redis wouldn't start because /var/lib/redis had
wrong owner.
A new internal config option `fileSystems.<name>.early` is added to indicate
that the filesystem needs to be loaded very early (i.e. in initrd). They are
transformed to a shell script in `system.build.earlyMountScript` with calls to
an undefined `specialMount` function, which is expected to be caller-specific.
This option is used by stage-1, stage-2 and activation script to set up and
remount those filesystems. Options for them are updated according to systemd
defaults.
Fixes #13927

configFile in make-disk-image clashes with clone-config as the latter does
nothing if it finds a a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix during stage-2.
