Re: [Nix-dev] NixOS as dom0 for Xen
Well the same commit that commented out the module also marks all of Xen as `broken` and it is still marked so https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/91cc22e841354199d16f5f86fcaf3395eebf92c7/pkgs/applications/virtualization/xen/default.nix#L139 (with a comment that explains something). I’m not sure, but I think that happens simply because there is no one interested in maintaining the module as I don’t remember anyone mentioning Xen in this mailing list for the last year. So, you’ll have to start from updating the expression for Xen =). On Sat Dec 20 2014 at 0:37:37 Thomas Strobel ts...@cam.ac.uk wrote: Hi! I plan to use NixOS as dom0 for Xen. There is an old, deactivated nixos module available that I thought of using. But before I go ahead, I just wanted to ask why dom0 support for Xen was dropped in NixOS? Anything that I should keep in mind when trying to reestablish dom0 support?

[Nix-dev] FOSDEM: meeting notes
Hi all, here's the findings of our call about FOSDEM (which happens in Brussels during the Jan 31 weekend, free entrance, come if you can): We have a table at FOSDEM, which is meant to show off the project to people that walk through the hallway. Here's what that looks like: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Fosdem2013-booth.jpeg We need *volunteers* to man the table, gear for the table, a presentation and swag. * Table: We will need two monitors and something to drive them. - One would be playing a presentation (to be made by somebody, or is there a nice one already?) explaining Nix - One is for showing interested people how NixOS works. This would be done by a table host who is typically behind the table so it's nice to have a mirrored screen Great extras: Banners, flyers, swag, nerdy things, 3D-printed items, ... * Swag: It would be great if we have swag to give away/sell. If we can give e.g. USB sticks away, we could have a contest with a few prize drawings (have them fill out a google form with some questions about NixOS that they would have to look up), or we could give stuff to people that do a PR. Please see https://nixos.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2015 for a complete overview and to register as a volunteer. Feel free to improve the Wiki page of course, or reply here. Thanks!

[Nix-dev] escaping /* in emacs nix mode
Hi all, How do I prevent something like this to screw over emacs' font coloring for nix files? foo = '' rm some/path/*.o ''; bar = ...

Re: [Nix-dev] escaping /* in emacs nix mode
Hi Mathijs, I am annoyed by this as well. Some time ago I tried to fix this but failed. I should have at least opened an issue about it. Maybe we have some elisp expert who can fix it?

Hi Mathijs, What I used to do is add a # */ either at the end of the line if this is a shell script, or at the end of the string.

Hi Mathijs, the standard hack to avoid this issue is to write: rm some/path/*.o It sucks, but it works. Peter ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

[Nix-dev] Enable openntpd instead ntp by default
Hi, I'm not sure was it discussed before, but I want to ask if we should enable openntpd instead of ntpd by default? The motivation basically is that openntpd is smaller and more secure than current default.

Re: [Nix-dev] Enable openntpd instead ntp by default
There exists a portable (OS-independent) version of OpenNTPD? Normally, Theo de Raadt makes two versions: the main, official, OpenBSD-tuned version; and the OS-independent, portable one. Everything being the same, I don't think it is difficult to change from one to other. There are Nix Wiki hints about making services on Nix.

Re: [Nix-dev] Enable openntpd instead ntp by default
If we are talking about _defaults_, than “no extra packages” is the best option, IMHO, and systemd already ships `systemd-timesyncd`, why not use it?
