A minimal ISO image is still provided. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Firefox and similar browsers are now <emphasis>wrapped by - default</emphasis>. The package and attribute names are plain - <literal>firefox</literal> or <literal>midori</literal>, etc. - Backward-compatibility attributes were set up, but note that - <command>nix-env -u</command> will <emphasis>not</emphasis> update your - current <literal>firefox-with-plugins</literal>; you have to uninstall it - and install <literal>firefox</literal> instead. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <command>wmiiSnap</command> has been replaced with - <command>wmii_hg</command>, but - <command>services.xserver.windowManager.wmii.enable</command> has been - updated respectively so this only affects you if you have explicitly - installed <command>wmiiSnap</command>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>jobs</literal> NixOS option has been removed. It served as - compatibility layer between Upstart jobs and SystemD services. All services - have been rewritten to use <literal>systemd.services</literal> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <command>wmiimenu</command> is removed, as it has been removed by the - developers upstream. Use <command>wimenu</command> from the - <command>wmii-hg</command> package. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - 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. -<programlisting><![CDATA[ -{ - imports = [ <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/services/misc/gitit.nix> ]; -} -]]></programlisting> - will include the Gitit service configuration options. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <command>nginx</command> does not accept flags for enabling and disabling - modules anymore. Instead it accepts <literal>modules</literal> argument, - which is a list of modules to be built in. All modules now reside in - <literal>nginxModules</literal> set. Example configuration: -<programlisting><![CDATA[ -nginx.override { - modules = [ nginxModules.rtmp nginxModules.dav nginxModules.moreheaders ]; -} -]]></programlisting> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <command>s3sync</command> 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 <command>tarsnap</command> and others. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <command>ruby_1_8</command> has been removed as it's not supported from - upstream anymore and probably contains security issues. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>tidy-html5</literal> package is removed. Upstream only provided - <literal>(lib)tidy5</literal> during development, and now they went back to - <literal>(lib)tidy</literal> to work as a drop-in replacement of the - original package that has been unmaintained for years. You can (still) use - the <literal>html-tidy</literal> package, which got updated to a stable - release from this new upstream. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>extraDeviceOptions</literal> argument is removed from - <literal>bumblebee</literal> package. Instead there are now two separate - arguments: <literal>extraNvidiaDeviceOptions</literal> and - <literal>extraNouveauDeviceOptions</literal> for setting extra X11 options - for nvidia and nouveau drivers, respectively. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The <literal>Ctrl+Alt+Backspace</literal> key combination no longer kills - the X server by default. There's a new option - <option>services.xserver.enableCtrlAltBackspace</option> allowing to enable - the combination again. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>emacsPackagesNg</literal> now contains all packages from the ELPA, - MELPA, and MELPA Stable repositories. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Data directory for Postfix MTA server is moved from - <filename>/var/postfix</filename> to <filename>/var/lib/postfix</filename>. - Old configurations are migrated automatically. - <literal>service.postfix</literal> module has also received many - improvements, such as correct directories' access rights, new - <literal>aliasFiles</literal> and <literal>mapFiles</literal> options and - more. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Filesystem options should now be configured as a list of strings, not a - comma-separated string. The old style will continue to work, but print a - warning, until the 16.09 release. An example of the new style: -<programlisting> -fileSystems."/example" = { - device = "/dev/sdc"; - fsType = "btrfs"; - options = [ "noatime" "compress=lzo" "space_cache" "autodefrag" ]; -}; -</programlisting> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - CUPS, installed by <literal>services.printing</literal> module, now has its - data directory in <filename>/var/lib/cups</filename>. Old configurations - from <filename>/etc/cups</filename> are moved there automatically, but - there might be problems. Also configuration options - <literal>services.printing.cupsdConf</literal> and - <literal>services.printing.cupsdFilesConf</literal> were removed because - they had been allowing one to override configuration variables required for - CUPS to work at all on NixOS. For most use cases, - <literal>services.printing.extraConf</literal> and new option - <literal>services.printing.extraFilesConf</literal> should be enough; if - you encounter a situation when they are not, please file a bug. - </para> - <para> - There are also Gutenprint improvements; in particular, a new option - <literal>services.printing.gutenprint</literal> is added to enable - automatic updating of Gutenprint PPMs; it's greatly recommended to enable - it instead of adding <literal>gutenprint</literal> to the - <literal>drivers</literal> list. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>services.xserver.vaapiDrivers</literal> has been removed. Use - <literal>hardware.opengl.extraPackages{,32}</literal> instead. You can also - specify VDPAU drivers there. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>programs.ibus</literal> moved to - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.ibus</literal>. The option - <literal>programs.ibus.plugins</literal> changed to - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines</literal> and the option to enable - ibus changed from <literal>programs.ibus.enable</literal> to - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.enabled</literal>. - <literal>i18n.inputMethod.enabled</literal> should be set to the used input - method name, <literal>"ibus"</literal> for ibus. An example of the new - style: -<programlisting> -i18n.inputMethod.enabled = "ibus"; -i18n.inputMethod.ibus.engines = with pkgs.ibus-engines; [ anthy mozc ]; -</programlisting> - That is equivalent to the old version: -<programlisting> -programs.ibus.enable = true; -programs.ibus.plugins = with pkgs; [ ibus-anthy mozc ]; -</programlisting> - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>services.udev.extraRules</literal> option now writes rules to - <filename>99-local.rules</filename> instead of - <filename>10-local.rules</filename>. This makes all the user rules apply - after others, so their results wouldn't be overriden by anything else. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Large parts of the <literal>services.gitlab</literal> module has been been - rewritten. There are new configuration options available. The - <literal>stateDir</literal> option was renamned to - <literal>statePath</literal> and the <literal>satellitesDir</literal> - option was removed. Please review the currently available options. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The option <option>services.nsd.zones.<name>.data</option> no longer - interpret the dollar sign ($) as a shell variable, as such it should not be - escaped anymore. Thus the following zone data: - </para> -<programlisting> -\$ORIGIN example.com. -\$TTL 1800 -@ IN SOA ns1.vpn.nbp.name. admin.example.com. ( - </programlisting> - <para> - Should modified to look like the actual file expected by nsd: - </para> -<programlisting> -$ORIGIN example.com. -$TTL 1800 -@ IN SOA ns1.vpn.nbp.name. admin.example.com. ( - </programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>service.syncthing.dataDir</literal> options now has to point to - exact folder where syncthing is writing to. Example configuration should - look something like: - </para> -<programlisting> -services.syncthing = { - enable = true; - dataDir = "/home/somebody/.syncthing"; - user = "somebody"; -}; - </programlisting> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>networking.firewall.allowPing</literal> is now enabled by default. - Users are encouraged to configure an appropriate rate limit for their - machines using the Kernel interface at - <filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ratelimit</filename> and - <filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv6/icmp/ratelimit</filename> or using the - firewall itself, i.e. by setting the NixOS option - <literal>networking.firewall.pingLimit</literal>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Systems with some broadcom cards used to result into a generated config - that is no longer accepted. If you get errors like -<screen>error: path ‘/nix/store/*-broadcom-sta-*’ does not exist and cannot be created</screen> - you should either re-run <command>nixos-generate-config</command> or - manually replace - <literal>"${config.boot.kernelPackages.broadcom_sta}"</literal> by - <literal>config.boot.kernelPackages.broadcom_sta</literal> in your - <filename>/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix</filename>. More discussion - is on <link xlink:href="https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/12595"> the - github issue</link>. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - The <literal>services.xserver.startGnuPGAgent</literal> option has been - removed. GnuPG 2.1.x changed the way the gpg-agent works, and that new - approach no longer requires (or even supports) the "start everything as a - child of the agent" scheme we've implemented in NixOS for older versions. - To configure the gpg-agent for your X session, add the following code to - <filename>~/.bashrc</filename> or some file that’s sourced when your - shell is started: -<programlisting> -GPG_TTY=$(tty) -export GPG_TTY - </programlisting> - If you want to use gpg-agent for SSH, too, add the following to your - session initialization (e.g. - <literal>displayManager.sessionCommands</literal>) -<programlisting> -gpg-connect-agent /bye -unset SSH_AGENT_PID -export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="''${HOME}/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh" - </programlisting> - and make sure that -<programlisting> -enable-ssh-support - </programlisting> - is included in your <filename>~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf</filename>. You will - need to use <command>ssh-add</command> to re-add your ssh keys. If gpg’s - automatic transformation of the private keys to the new format fails, you - will need to re-import your private keyring as well: -<programlisting> -gpg --import ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg - </programlisting> - The <command>gpg-agent(1)</command> man page has more details about this - subject, i.e. in the "EXAMPLES" section. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - - <para> - Other notable improvements: - <itemizedlist> -<!-- - <listitem> - <para>The <command>command-not-found</command> hook was extended. - Apart from <literal>$NIX_AUTO_INSTALL</literal> variable, - it newly also checks for <literal>$NIX_AUTO_RUN</literal> - which causes it to directly run the missing commands via - <command>nix-shell</command> (without installing anything).</para> - </listitem> - --> - <listitem> - <para> - <literal>ejabberd</literal> module is brought back and now works on NixOS. - </para> - </listitem> - <listitem> - <para> - Input method support was improved. New NixOS modules (fcitx, nabi and - uim), fcitx engines (chewing, hangul, m17n, mozc and table-other) and ibus - engines (hangul and m17n) have been added. - </para> - </listitem> - </itemizedlist> - </para> -</section> |
