desktop-manager is a bit misleading in this case as there is no
session yet and most apps are still missing. This can eventually
grow further once more e17 apps get packaged for nix.
However, for now, I need to initialize some e17 dbus services to
have the "terminology" terminal emulator provide gfx previews.
The user should specify which major version to use
(e.g. "services.postgresql.package = pkgs.postgresql92"). We can't
really provide a sensible default, because such a default would have
to be updated from time to time, and there is no automated upgrade
procedure. So leave upgrading to the user.
Enabling udisks2 allows gvfs (which should be built with udisks support) to
perform mount/unmount operations on removable drives. It affects Thunar and
probably other Gtk-based file managers.
Gvfs doesn't supports earlier versions of udisks.
As @edolstra pointed out, this behavior is not equivalent to what we had
before as the kernel command line parameter won't take effect until the
next boot. Probably it's not likely that someone will make this change
and then add a network card before rebooting, but might as well support
that since we can.
This reverts commit f7563698df.

Sometimes nscd starts up before a /etc/resolv.conf file has been written, and
apparently triggering a cache flush (reload) is not good enough to make it
recover from that problem. To remedy the issue, we restart the service instead.
See <https://github.com/NixOS/nixos/issues/34> for further details.
Using /etc/lighttpd.conf "hides" the config file from NixOS so that it
will not automatically restart the service when its config file changes.
So don't do that.
I think it's nice that it first asks the usual password, and then offers the
otpw one if enabled. That enables dovecot to show the last pam prompt.
I also add the dovecot option for that.
Previously we synced just before calling switch-to-configuration.
That prevents corruption of the Nix store, but it can leave the boot
loader configuration and kernel files in /boot corrupted. So do the
sync after installing the boot loader.
Usually timers.target is pulled in by basic.target, but we don't
restart basic.target. So timers.target wouldn't be started when
coming from an older systemd.
Now that nixUnstable supports remounting in the "/nix/store is a
mountpoint" case, this is no longer necessary.
This reverts commit f1d48aec43.
