Unless we search the entire filesystem to do a chown *and* restart
existing processes owned by that user, there is no sensible way that
we can change uids/gids. So don't try.
resolvconf prefers a locally running BIND resolver over the forwarders; we just
have to tell it whether we have one or not. We use 'config.services.bind.enable'
to make that decision, assuming that people are not going to configure a local
BIND that won't respond to queries on 127.0.0.1. If we run into such a (weird)
case, then we'll need to introduce another variable for that purpose which can
be set independently from 'config.services.bind.enable'.
You can now set the forwardX11 config option for the ssh client and server separately.
For server, the option means "allow clients to request X11 forwarding".
For client, the option means "request X11 forwarding by default on all connections".
I don't think it made sense to couple them. I might not even run the server on some machines.
Also, I ssh to a lot of machines, and rarely want X11 forwarding. The times I want it,
I use the -X/-Y option, or set it in my ~/.ssh/config.
I also decoupled the 'XAuthLocation' logic from forwardX11.
For my case where ssh client doesn't want forwarding by default, it still wants to set the path for the cases I do need it.
As this flag is the one that pulls in X11 dependencies, I changed the minimal profile and the no-x-libs config to check that instead now.

* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
attribute in fileSystems. Ext2/3/4 support is currently
unconditional.
Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

This change allows using extraHosts to specify additional aliases for 127.0.0.1

for the reasoning. (Basically, the ‘performance’ and ‘powersave’
governors don't actually provide extra performance or power savings
in most cases.)
It used to be that desktop environments like KDE were able to set
the governor through HAL (e.g. KDE could be configured to switch to
the powersave governor when the user unplugs his laptop). However,
this is no longer the case with upower — it is now expected that
everybody uses the ondemand governor. See
http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--powerdevil-remove-cpufreq.patch-td27815354.html
* Rename ‘cpuFreqGovernor’ to ‘powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor’.
* Include cpufreq-utils in the system path if a governor is set, since
we depend on it anyway.

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.

* If PulseAudio is disabled in the NixOS config, then disable
autospawning of the PulseAudio server in /etc/pulse/client.conf.

because it uses strtok() to modify the environment variable in
place, it only works correctly the first time it's called.
Subsequent calls only see the first directory listed in the
variable. This causes applications such as Audacious to fail
because the Pulse plugin is not in the first directory. However, we
don't actually need $ALSA_PLUGIN_DIRS, because /etc/asound.conf
allows the full path to the Pulse plugin to be specified.
