UnstableIn addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release
has the following highlights:You can now pin a specific version of NixOS in your configuration.nix
by setting:
nixos.path = ./nixpkgs-unstable-2015-12-06/nixos;
This will make NixOS re-evaluate your configuration with the modules of
the specified NixOS version at the given path. For more details, see
The following new services were added since the last release:
services/monitoring/longview.nixservices/web-apps/pump.io.nixWhen upgrading from a previous release, please be aware of the
following incompatible changes:wmiiSnap has been replaced with
wmii_hg, but
services.xserver.windowManager.wmii.enable has
been updated respectively so this only affects you if you have
explicitly installed wmiiSnap.
wmiimenu is removed, as it has been
removed by the developers upstream. Use wimenu
from the wmii-hg package.Gitit is no longer automatically added to the module list in
NixOS and as such there will not be any manual entries for it. You
will need to add an import statement to your NixOS configuration
in order to use it, e.g.
];
}
]]>
will include the Gitit service configuration options.nginx does not accept flags for enabling and
disabling modules anymore. Instead it accepts modules
argument, which is a list of modules to be built in. All modules now
reside in nginxModules set. Example configuration:
s3sync is removed, as it hasn't been
developed by upstream for 4 years and only runs with ruby 1.8.
For an actively-developer alternative look at
tarsnap and others.
ruby_1_8 has been removed as it's not
supported from upstream anymore and probably contains security
issues.
tidy-html5 package is removed.
Upstream only provided (lib)tidy5 during development,
and now they went back to (lib)tidy to work as a drop-in
replacement of the original package that has been unmaintained for years.
You can (still) use the html-tidy package, which got updated
to a stable release from this new upstream.extraDeviceOptions argument is removed
from bumblebee package. Instead there are
now two separate arguments: extraNvidiaDeviceOptions
and extraNouveauDeviceOptions for setting
extra X11 options for nvidia and nouveau drivers, respectively.
The Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination
no longer kills the X server by default.
There's a new option
allowing to enable the combination again.
emacsPackagesNg now contains all packages
from the ELPA, MELPA, and MELPA Stable repositories.
