Re: [Nix-dev] Please test Nix store auto-optimise
Since it looks for sub-blocks, first run the nix-store --optimise and then run duperemove -dhr /nix/store. Read the FAQ though: https://github.com/markfasheh/duperemove/blob/master/FAQ.md BTW, since bedup does files incrementally, it's nice to run that too. So I'd do nix-store --optimise, bedup and then duperemove. Of course if you don't want hardlinks (but there's really no reason on a read-only store like /nix/store), you can leave the nix-store --optimise out and only run bedup and duperemove. If you want speed, only running nix-store --optimise and bedup should do the trick, I wonder how much extra duperemove would save. Wout.

with this result:

Check the necessary '.pre' files are in the config directory.
Some searches later, I found out that there are missing config files in
/etc/spamassassin (the instructions in spamassassin/default.nix specify
this as CONFDIR). I then copied all files from
${pkgs.spamassassin}/share/spamassassin/* to /etc/spamassassin to make
the sa-update command work. After that spamd started.
Would it make sense to symlink those files from the spamassassin module?
Or did I miss something and should go back and read spamassassins

I think those configs are supposed to be changed by the administrator,
hence I don't think it's a good idea to symlink.

Re: [Nix-dev] How to add an additional IP address besides the DHCP configured address?
I would like to add the IP address 172.16.48.17/28 to my enp0s3 interface but I would also like to keep the DHCP configured address. [...] Is this possible or should I use networking.localCommands? The proper way to do this is to instruct the DHCP *server* to assign the addresses. Most servers can assign IP addresses based on MAC addresses. All options below are hacks, because they circumvent the lease system of DHCP, so they are unsafe. The most proper unsafe way is to configure the DHCP *client* to assign the additional address. Unfortunately when you configure dhcpcd to assign a static address, it does not ask the server to get a lease at all. Perhaps you can figure out a way to do both. The relevant option is `networking.dhcpcd.extraConfig` and the `static` option from dhcpcd.conf(5). A less proper way is to use a hook and assign the additional address yourself. The most general interface to that seems to be `networking.dhcpcd.runHook`. It's less proper, because then the client does not manage that address. See also the section 3rdparty link management (sic) in dhcpcd(8). It seems to offer an addtional option, but I did not follow all the references. If all else fails you can disable the DHCP client *daemon* altogether and do one-shot setups instead. This is a horrible setup that cries for network problems, because now even the regular dynamic address falls outside of the lease system. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

If you are willing to go with that design, I guess you should not set services.mpd.dataDir, and make sure the mpd user has read access to your music directory. (It tries to create /home/nikita because that's where its dataDir is supposed to go.) If you'd rather mpd be run as your own user, I don't think NixOS has support for that, so the easiest solution is probably to add mpd to environment.systemPackages and just start mpd yourself.

As is clear from the log, it is not mpd who creates the directory, it’s the

[Nix-dev] NIx and portability
I'm working on porting Nix to a non-UNIX operating system and I'd like some advice. I want to get Nix running on the Genode microkernel OS (http://genode.org/). Genode is not UNIX-based and the differences are very fundamental but so far I have managed to execute some simple builders using Bash and its UNIX emulator. Libnixexpr works without modification, but I've had to modify libnixutil and libnixstore. For now I have no plans on managing profiles yet. The issue I want to deal with now is how to make changes to libnixutil and libnixstore with the least amount of future maintenance. So far I have been taking source files and moving problem functions into a unix implementation file, then making a copy of that and doing a rewrite. Would this separation be useful to upstream? Is there a better method? Is there any sort of reorganization or refactoring that I could do at the same time that would be helpful? The big changes to be made in libnixstore are: - Builders are started in a completely different manner, there are no pipes or PIDs, the builder is monitored in a different way. I haven't implemented logging but it shouldn't be much of an issue. - There is no chrooting when you don't have a root, but a stacked virtual file system is readily available in the emulator. - Build hook support would need to be reimplemted. The minor changes elsewhere are: - No users or groups. Standard filesystems will be used, but the system has no concept of user, group or mode. - No getenv or argv for Nix, but no issues with setting these for builders. The native configuration method has been sufficient for Nix. - File locks: The file system interface does not yet support file locking. Permissions and file-locking isn't a big deal, I can probably deal with those using dummy libc functions. I ported SQLite first, so that is taken care of, though without file locking I'm using a different journal mode for the database. I suppose what I'm doing could make a windows port easier for someone else, not there would be a point in that. What do you guys think?
