2011:
We have quite a few *.packages variables in NixOS: udev.packages,
hal.packages, dbus.packages etc.
I see only one reason for separating these packages from system.packages:
system.packages? Am I outdated or are you talking about
environment.systemPackages?
Yes, you're right.
FWIW, packages in environment.systemPackages and root's profile also end
up in the DBus search path (but not, IIRC, the udev and polkit paths).
Maybe this should not be the case.
* No more broken wrappers in /var/setuid-wrappers.
E.g., I have no wodim in systemPackages but I have /var/setuid-
wrappers/wodim.
* If someone changes a package in nixpkgs so that the location of a binary
is changes, he sees that he should change 'suid request' accordingly.
Yes, this would be great. It could be done by creating a file
$out/nix-support/setuid-binaries specifying a list of packages that need
to be setuid/setgid <whatever>.
