Peter Simons 20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

Usage: $0 [OPTIONS...] OPERATION
The operation is one of the following:
switch: make the configuration the boot default and activate now
boot: make the configuration the boot default
test: activate the configuration, but don't make it the boot default
build: build the configuration, but don't make it the default or
activate it
build-vm: build a virtual machine containing the configuration
(useful for testing)
build-vm-with-bootloader:
like build-vm, but include a boot loader in the VM
dry-run: just show what store paths would be built/downloaded
pull: just pull the Nixpkgs channel manifest and exit
Options:
--install-grub (re-)install the Grub bootloader
--no-pull don't do a nix-pull to get the latest Nixpkgs
channel manifest
--no-build-nix don't build the latest Nix from Nixpkgs before
building NixOS
--rollback restore the previous NixOS configuration (only
with switch, boot, test, build)
--fast same as --no-pull --no-build-nix --show-trace
Various nix-build options are also accepted, in particular:
--show-trace show a detailed stack trace for evaluation errors
Environment variables affecting nixos-rebuild:
\$NIXOS path to the NixOS source tree
\$NIXPKGS path to the Nixpkgs source tree
\$NIXOS_CONFIG path to the NixOS system configuration specification
