I wonder in other programming languages, name clashes are usually resolved
through aliasing. Would it be possible for nix to install packages while
aliasing their outputs to a different name to avoid clashes like this?

Hey, I'd suggest for you to not use channels. I don't. Pin your nixpkgs to

recommended way IMHO.

Hey,
Changing nixos generations won't affect the grub boot partition, that only
changes which nixos kernel and initramfs image gets booted.
This looks like an error in the Grub partition. Maybe you recently updated

For example: There are both nginx package and nginx service. The package
part is just the package management aspect of Nix, while the nginx service
is the service management (configuration management) aspect of Nix. However
if you use the service, then as a dependency, package is usually installed.
Nix is based on content addressing. To install a specific version of a
package, just pick a version, fix the content address, and install it!
However nixpkgs is a community effort in creating a standard default

the versions
That's a problem though, there shouldn't be much of a problem of having

ZFS still requires separate /boot. Actually this depends on your boot
loader, not ZFS. So if you find a better boot loader that can run ZFS, then
you won't need a separate /boot. If you use UEFI, you'll need a separate
ESP partition anyway, which you can use as your /boot if you are only using
UEFI

There's an option called: `boot.initrd.prepend`. I tried to prepend a
gzipped cpio archive containing 1 single file with no path. But I upon
rebooting, I received a `Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed
archive`.
Here was the steps I took:
```
pushd /boot
cpio -o <<< "luks-key.i
Hi,
Since I was debugging a number of issues with my configuration on the
live ISO, I was running `nixos-install` multiple times. Every time I did
this, and the configuration change caused a change in the initrd, this
resulted in a new generation. Eventually I ran out of `/boot` space

But I'm not familiar with the source code.

I'll look into it and submit a PR.
But any ideas on how to redirect X.0.log?

(http://worldofgnome.org/in-gnome-3-12-systemd-will-track-xorg-logs/)

I would prefer to be able to centalise all logs into journalctl.
Thanks,

+1 on the meta tags concept if we had a new nix tool that wrapped around
find or used a cached index that could show all packages related to a
particular tag. The cached index could be auto generated on each release or
each commit? Or just generated at installation when a user installs Nix.

If there are multiple channels (custom channels included) available, how
does Nix choose from which to install, and is there a way for us to pick a
preference?

Good question, we can test this inside Virtualbox.

Does NixOS do the mount overflow tmp feature that exists on other
distros (http://mancoosi.org/~abate/mountoverflowtmp). Apparently it can
be disabled with `echo 'MINTMPKB=0' > /etc/default/mountoverflowtmp`. If
so, why not have a NixOS option for this?

Hi,
ZFS doesn't have a mode option during mounting. See:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/4101
If I need a filesystem mounted with 1777 permissions and sticky bit on
boot, how can do that with ZFS and the NixOS fileSystems settings?
The fileSystems settings has no option to run a post
Having an immutable content addressable storage for packages will really
help maintain legacy applications. I got bitten recently by NPM wiping out
a package completely which was a deep dependency of a number of legacy
dependencies. Some software just doesn't need to be updated for years.
