It's part of the 'bind' package, with host, dig, and others.

Re: [Nix-dev] Logo improvement ideas

[Rob Vermaas]

Perhaps someone can set up a poll or something and engage people to
vote for it, to see if people prefer to stay with the old logo, or if
a new logo is preferred.

Personally, I like the old logo better, but that's just my opinion :)
(The new logo also looks nice btw)

Cheers,
Rob

That's why I showed how the command-not-found hook works. You can also
run explicitly $ command-not-found nslookup

Installing by systemPackages or nix-env never automagically adds
services. Those are separate -- if you want a service, you set
services.foo.enable = true; and don't need to "install" it in any way.

[Nix-dev] [UTILS] nixos-scripts - version 0.2 released

[Matthias Beyer]

Hi NixOS community!

I released v0.2 of nixos-scripts yesterday.

nixos-scripts is a set of scripts to handle several things in NixOS.
For example, you can update your machine and generate a tag in your
configuration directory in just one step. You can update package
definitions in your local clone of nixpkgs and test build them in one
step by passing an URL from monitor.nixos.org
(which is down atm, I know :-/ ). Several other utilities are included
as well.

This release includes several improvements and new features:

* The "switch" command
* Includes your hostname in the generated tag by default
* generates no longer annotated tags
* can do all the things while not doing nixos-rebuild
* can tag the local clone of nixpkgs if you want
* does "switch" by default, "test" or "boot" (or others)
  can be passed as arguments

* The "update-package-def" command
* got a flag for not checking out a new branch
* got a flag for not switching back to the original branch
  after the update was committed

* Less output for the user (-v verbosity flag)
* More output for the developer (-d debugging flag)

* config-file support - you can put several things in
  ~/.nix-script.rc

* Channel tools - tools for handling nix-channel things.
* diffing channel generations
* switching channel generations
* listing channel generations

I also wrote a bit about this release on my blog[1].

You are very welcome to test it out, report bugs and of course,
feedback is welcome, too.

$ nslookup
The program ‘nslookup’ is currently not installed. It is provided by
several packages. You can install it by typing one of the following:
  nix-env -i bind
  nix-env -i busybox

How about doing something like:

preLVMCommands =
  let key = builtins.readFile ./keyfile; in
  "echo '${key}' >/key"

then putting keyfile in gitignore?

I had a look at the first section at least and fixed a few small things.
Also, 15.09 is stated as the latest release (though it hasn't happened
yet), but I've left it, as it will be true soon, hopefully.

The section feels it might be biased towards NixOS, but I'm probably not
a good judge, as I can't be truly objective on that anymore.

And... thanks.

Probably you could use this xorg setup:

There is also few trayicon applications to do that, depends on which

[Nix-dev] How to build a download list for "sneaknet"?

[Anderson Torres]

Hello, Nixers!

I want to know if there is a way to build a download list for a
package and its dependencies.

There is a similar command on NetBSD's pkgsrc.
It builds a shell script, and that script, when executed in any
machine with Internet connection, downloads the sources and its
dependencies for a package. The script is just a list of command like
"wget -c url1 url2 url3".

There is a way to build the URL list, using Nix commands or some script?

[Nix-dev] Patching bundled shared objects

[Bryan Gardiner]

I'm hoping the esteemed nix-dev list can give me some advice.  I'm
working on fixing the Jitsi binary package, since it fails to be
usable for audio calls, being unable to find Pulse, among other
things[1].  So fine, I need to set the RPATH, but it seems I have to
patch the .so files individually.  (Is that because this is a Java
program?  I have the same issue in my binary Scilab 5 PR.)  Running
ldd on all of the shipped .so files shows that there are lots of them
that depend on various system libraries here and there inconsistenly
(libjawt, libstdc++, X, libssl, a few others).

I'm wondering what the preferred approach is for handling this.  I can
see a few ways:

- lib.makeLibraryPath for each .so and patchelf it, tedious.

- lib.makeLibraryPath one large path and patchelf all objects to use
  it, easiest but more than necessary.

- Even better, is there a function I can pass a list of deps to and it
  will patch .so files with missing deps automagically?

It would be nice to build these bundled .so's from scratch, but that's
potentially a much bigger task.

Thanks in advance,
Bryan
