now I have some spare time left to work on it. Is the problem with kdepim fixed
now? and could you share the Nix expressions you wrote? then I don't have to

Good thing. I believe ifconfig is deprecated a long time ago and it's use
should be avoided.

Hi all,
I'm currently taking a look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard
(http://www.pathname.com/fhs). Not that I want NixOS to adopt it completely
(because we simply can't), but to have a look behind the rationale of some
design decisions. Usually one of the big criticisms I receive about Nix
Hi Kamil,
Good to hear that you have discovered our tooling :)
If I understand everything correctly, you want to "tune" services to have host
specific settings, right?
In most examples I have used for Disnix, services are relocatable and are
built/configured only using properties of their intr

Sure we can! The Nix expression language is Turing
Disnix does deactivate previous services, but only the ones that are obsolete.
So if your old distribution model and new distribution model contain the same
service, Disnix tries to keep them intact.
In your case, I think you may have removed a machine from your infrastructure
model, which has

I'm really looking forward to see the exact details
Ok, so it seems that you create the complete wrapper scripts directly. I think
when I fix this segfault bug with nested attribute sets, allowing them to be
used in the build expressions then you probably have what you need. Now that
I'm thinking about it, it isn't such a bad idea having this sup
I'm trying to implement some new features to nixos-deploy-network, but I
stumbled upon some obscurities in the NixOS module system. that I don't
completely understand. Apparently, if I run the eval-config function with some
modules which aren't files, they won't get evaluated, unless a key attri
It seems that it is only possible to specify files in the require attribute of
a Nix module, e.g.:
{pkgs, ...}:
{
require = [ /some/nixos/module/file.nix ]; # Works fine
services.openssh.enable = true;
}
But it seems that it is impossible to specify functions or attribute sets, e.g.:
{pkg
Any ideas/suggestions, how I can pass the adminAddr to the webserver portion
and include them into each configuration?
