What about describing which kind of user(s) you mean? /etc/passwd ones? See MySQL service for instance and ids.nix. Certificates: Apache and similar have settings to tell it which certificates to use. You want to look at similar services like ssh/dovecot/... how it is done. I'm unsure. There are two choices: Either use a pre startup script to create them (eg mysqlinit or such gets used this way) - or allow user to set paths. Usually its nice if things "just work" which means generating certificates. Eg mysql does not populate time zone info (mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /etc/zoneinfo/ | mysql) should it be done? the MYSQL_TZ function requires it (otherwise it returns null) If nobody has a strong opnion just be the maintainer and make a choice ? Testing services see nixos/tests/* How to run? See nixos/release.nix or release-combined. nix-build -A tests.firwall -f release.nix or such. (I didn't run any test for a long time).

Yeah, I know that already, though there is no documentation on how to _write_ them properly! -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt.

Re: [Nix-dev] Please help me with getting the Taskserver service running
The configuration of orgnisations, groups and users is not declarative, so it will be hard to implement this part in NixOS. Best way would be to write a short script which parses a yaml/json file and then "syncs" this configuration with taskserver. Unfortunately, taskserver isn't good documented and seems to be quite buggy to me (the whole "taskd" command line). Did you play a bit with the "taskd" tool? It's not much fun :-( -- Jascha Geerds j...@ekby.de ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
