Passing the chroot flag to nixos-install without arguments should now give you a
Bash shell as intended rather than try an empty path.
This was masked by the user's shell (usually /bin/bash) being defaulted to by
chroot, and being found since their paths used NixOS conventions.
When bootstrapping from other distributions, nixos-install is unable to find
various tools in the chroot since their paths aren't aware of NixOS conventions.
This makes a small change to existing code by specifying nixpkgs/nixos instead
of just nixos when running nix-instantiate in the chroot. I haven't tested this
outside of bootstrapping, but the same specification is used elsewhere in the
code so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
This is the most recent release which has a tarball.
It is strictly older than the GIT revision previously
pointed to, but the delta is insignificant (fixes to
debian helper scripts, updating NEWS & fixing a typo in
the changelog)
This is the latest release and is more recent than
the GIT revision pointed to previously.
I have also taken the liberty of removing some irrelevant
information from the package description.
This OCaml library contains a database of MIME types that maps filename
extensions into MIME types suitable for use in many Internet protocols
such as HTTP or e-mail.

After the pulseaudio refactor in NixOS/nixpkgs@a2a3508, libcap is no
longer propagated to chromium anymore. And we need to have libcap for
the renderer sandbox.
Build log: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/21689759/nixlog/1/raw
What makes me wonder is that given that this was propagated by
pulseaudio noone either seemed to have disabled pulseaudio support for
Chromium or just didn't report the build failure.
Half-assed testing done against all channels, because it builds the
sandbox and we can't break an already broken build twice (or maybe we
can, who knows...).
