Re: [Nix-dev] nix-dev Digest, Vol 101, Issue 25
Turns out I need nolock, but more importantly: add “nfsv3 to initrd.availableKernelModules … Nix’ full dependency management makes me expect too much :P Is there an easy way to remount with locks enabled in stage 2?

Googling around it looks like NFS mounting at boot was supported back in 2011, but this is no longer the case? It has never been supported in any real sense, but people may have gotten it to work. Try using the nolock mount option.

[Nix-dev] Packaging Foreman
As part of the Heroku Toolbelt, I need to make a Nix package for Foreman. I am following the instructions to Install from Source [1]. The instructions say that it has many package requirements: gcc-c++ git libvirt-devel mysql-devel pg-devel openssl-devel \ libxml2-devel sqlite-devel libxslt-devel zlib-devel readline-devel \ postgresql-devel Am I right when I say - If I want to package Foreman, I must first package all these dependent packages. ?

Re: [Nix-dev] Packaging Foreman
Awesome, that's exactly the info I needed. I added those as dependencies
and now I'm making progress again. Now I'm working through a Ruby issue
(Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError).
For curious readers, here's how I did that.
### foreman/default.nix ###
{ stdenv, fetchurl, rubygems, gcc, git, libvirt, mysql,
postgresql, openssl, libxml2, sqlite, libxslt, zlib, readline
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
name = foreman;
src = fetchurl {
# Tarball link fetched from here:
http://projects.theforeman.org/projects/foreman/files
url =
http://projects.theforeman.org/attachments/download/642/foreman-1.3.1.tar.bz2
;
sha256 = 0jq48nswwgx7lk79cpdm2zmn40rxf1jjnng63qmam09m4pbypj3r;
};
buildInputs = [ rubygems gcc git libvirt mysql
postgresql openssl libxml2 sqlite libxslt zlib readline ];
...
