Re: [Nix-dev] Replace module options

I think every service have a enable attribute, you should be able to set this to false or just override that service with another one (example config.systemd.services.alsa-store.enable=false). nix-repl is useful to inspect what your config looks like, you can invoke it with nix-repl '' and

[Nix-dev] Patch binaries automatically

I think it would be possible to automatically build an env that includes all shared libraries a binary need. But maybe this is already possible or not practical? This would need the ability ask which package a file belongs to. Something hydra could keep track on, not all files needs to be

Re: [Nix-dev] Ideas for a NixOS-related bachelors thesis?

There are some ideas presented for GSOC 2015 here https://nixos.org/wiki/GSOC_2015_ideas_list, my fave is P2P substitutes. This would mean it would be easy to share a cache and in some cases improve speed. Maybe not all features are needed for this project. For example, a interface where you can

Re: [Nix-dev] More Library Trouble (Haskell and Python Libraries)

I don't use haskell but I maybe have the answer for Python. I have set PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/python2.7/site-packages. You may want to set it to /run/current-system/sw/lib/python2.7/site-packages if you installed it to the system profile. You can also install recursive-pth-loader which

[Nix-dev] Using ssh-substituter

I am trying to use the ssh-substituter option availible in nix but not gotten it to work. Maybe I am missing something, I made a simple test with this derivation: { pkgs ? (import { }) }: pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "ssh-substitute-test"; phases = [ "buildPhase" ]; buildPhase = ''

Re: [Nix-dev] How do I enable wake-on-LAN?

The manual for configuration options links to the sources. You can look at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/2702f01ee91b264e623ed762c34f3f2d390b3987/nixos/modules/services/networking/wakeonlan.nix There it looks like powerManagem.enable needs to be true. Other than this I have few ideas, you

Re: [Nix-dev] What license does the content of the nixos wiki and the manuals have?

For nix, nixos, nixpkgs and nixops, see source repos and the file COPYING. I think this license applies if there is no other remark on the manual page. I can't find any license info at the wiki. And then I think the 'default' license is that the author owns the rights to all material. But the wiki

Re: [Nix-dev] NixOS installation on multi-boot system with GRUB

I think you can use chain-loading. Then two GRUBs will be installed, one will load the other. See this example for the config option in NixOS http://hydra.nixos.org/build/25232900/download/2/nixos/options.html#opt-boot.loader.grub.extraEntries. And here is GRUBs manual about it

Sorry this had nothing to do with mkDefault. But I would still like to know why this is happening and why I need to build extra packages. On Fri, Jun 26, 2015 at 8:22 PM, Joel Moberg joel.mob...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all I have a question about this expression, also here ( https

Re: [Nix-dev] [UTILS] nixos-scripts - searching for testers / contributors!

I would like to see the diff feature in nix-env. Or something that tells you a little more about what changed between generations. I think nix-env could be more modelled more like the git interface. You have some scripts that already are similar to some commands in git. This would make it

[Nix-dev] Resolve conflicting packages by overloading?
