Re: [Nix-dev] Objections to switching to Bluez5?

Re: [Nix-dev] Objections to switching to Bluez5?
Ok, I'll open an issue, but not right now (go ahead and do that if you have some spare time). BTW, you already can install Bluez5 if you don't care about audio profiles and KDE support just to use it from the console (that's what I did for now). -- Кирилл Елагин On Sat, Apr 12, 2014 at 1:51 PM, Carles Pagès page.li...@gmail.com wrote: I only started playing with bluetooth the other day and also relied on bluez5.

Re: [Nix-dev] Compilation of MLton on darwin
Yes, this is exactly what I'm trying to do. Prebuilt binaries of MLton for
darwin are available.
The problem is that to bootstrap the compiler you need first to patchelf
these binaries.
On linux this is done with the line I cited:
patchelf --set-interpreter ${stdenv.glibc}/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
$(pwd)/../usr/lib/mlton/mlton-compile
So my question is, where I find the linker in nixpkgs on darwin?
I tried to grep the sources but I'm lost.
Thanks,
Marco

Hello,
The current nixpkgs expression for mlton uses the mlton binary provided by
mlton.org to bootstrap the compiler. I don't think it will work for any
platform other than Linux. But I think mlton.org also distributes a
binary
for some other platforms besides Linux ... if there is one for your
platform
maybe you could get the expression to build using it.

[Nix-dev] New NixOS module: grsecurity
Hello all,
(Sending to nix-dev as I imagine several users might be interested).
As of nixpkgs commit 172dc1336f108ee8, there is a new NixOS module
which greatly enhances support for the grsecurity project*. This is a
significant upgrade of the existing support (which was mostly just
kernel packages), and makes usage far easier and less error prone to
configure.
You can enable it by just specifying which kernel you want (stable,
stable+vserver patches, or testing), and the system configuration
(desktop or server):
security.grsecurity.enable = true;
security.grsecurity.testing = true; # testing 3.13 kernel
security.grsecurity.config.system = desktop; # or server
This defaults to high-security enhancements, and auto-selects all the
appropriate configuration options and enabled protections. This
implies no virtualisation support, which is needed for all your
expected software functionality to work properly. For example, to
enable KVM support:
security.grsecurity.enable = true;
security.grsecurity.stable = true; # enable stable 3.2 kernel
security.grsecurity.config = {
system = server;
priority = security;
virtualisationConfig = host;
virtualisationSoftware = kvm;
hardwareVirtualisation = true;
}
You can also use the 'custom' grsecurity configuration, in combination
with custom kernel options. See the options 'security.grsecurity.mode'
and 'security.grsecurity.config.kernelExtraConfig' for more
information.
At the moment, Hydra will not build packages for your grsec kernel. If
you enable it, you'll have to build it yourself. In the future, I hope
to alleviate this (perhaps by providing binary packages for
'pre-canned' automatic configurations).
At the moment, gradm's learning mode is broken, so be careful playing
with it. I hope to fix this soon.
I've been using this module with NixOps and deploying to multiple
Hetzner servers successfully for a month or two. (I suspect EC2 should
work fine as well).
Please do try it out - and be sure to keep a backup system
configuration for now, just in case something goes wrong.
Thanks to Ricardo Correia for review and feedback.

* For those who aren't familiar - quoting https://grsecurity.net
Grsecurity is an extensive security enhancement to the Linux kernel,
touching nearly 2000 files and composed of over 60,000 lines of
changes. It has been actively developed and maintained for the past 13
years. Grsecurity defends against a wide range of security threats
through intelligent access control, memory corruption-based exploit
prevention, and a host of other system hardening that generally
require no configuration.

[Nix-dev] Cinnamon 2.2.0
Hello, I saw that in the last few hours everything of Cinnamon is updated to 2.2.0. Is it wise to stay on the 2.0.14 version and update till everything is ported or it is wise to update everything to the new version and port that version.

If the structure of the components did not change much, upgrading is probably not much more than changing the hash and maybe adding an extra dependency. If it's more than that, you should probably complete 2.0.14 first. Once everything is in a working state, it's much easier to upgrade and assess it went OK.
