If the user tries to run a program that doesn't exist from Bash, the
program name is looked up in a database that maps to Nix package
names. If it is found, we print out a message like:
$ pdflatex
The program ‘pdflatex’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
several packages. You can install it by typing one of the following:
nix-env -i tetex
nix-env -i texlive-core
If the environment variable $NIX_AUTO_INSTALL is set, the command is
installed and executed automatically:
$ hello --version
The program ‘hello’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
the package ‘hello’, which I will now install for you.
installing `hello-2.8'
hello (GNU hello) 2.8

To use this, you must currently manually put the SQLite programs
database in /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite. In the future, this file
should be provided as part of the NixOS channel so it gets updated
automatically. To get a test version:
$ curl http://nixos.org/~eelco/programs.sqlite.xz | xz -d > /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite
Thus
networking.interfaces = [ { name = "eth0"; ipAddress = "192.168.15.1"; } ];
can now be written as
networking.interfaces.eth0.ipAddress = "192.168.15.1";
The old notation still works though.
The new configuration.nix option 'environment.enableBashCompletion'
determines whether bash completion is automatically enabled system-wide
for all interactive shells or not. The default setting is 'off'.

Flushing is bad if the Nix store is on a remote filesystem accessed
over that interface.

Also added a interface option ‘prefixLength’ as a better alternative
to ‘subnetMask’.
Instead it's enough to depend on
sys-subsystem-net-devices-<interface>.device, which in turn has a
"wants" dependency on the service (if any) that creates the interface.
Logind sessions are more generally useful than for device ownership.
For instances, ssh logins can be put in their own session (and thus
their own cgroup).
Note that for attribute-based nix-env installations, the NixOS
channel contains Nixpkgs as its "pkgs" attribute, so
$ nix-env -iA nixos.pkgs.foo
will work instead of the old
$ nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.foo

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.

* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod. (Not
that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store. But at least
commands like "depmod -n" work now.) Reported by Kirill Elagin on
IRC.

The VirtualBox build in Nixpkgs is insecure because it uses the
"--disable-hardened" flag, which disables some checks in the
VirtualBox kernel module. Since getting rid of that flag looks like
too much work, it's better to ensure that only explicitly permitted
users have access to VirtualBox.
* Drop the 666 permission on "sonypi" because it's not clear why that
device should be world-writable.

window in which /bin/sh is missing. This can cause concurrently
running programs to fail (e.g. Hydra jobs =>

are very low, but they're not.
