readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)
Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

because /proc/swaps contains resolved paths as well. Without this,
the swap device will be turned off again by the $unused code.

pkgs/build-support/vm). This should make the NixOS regression tests
more robust on heavily loaded systems, where they now frequently
fail:
server# mounting //10.0.2.4/qemu on /hostfs...
server# [ 8.233991] Slow work thread pool: Starting up
server# [ 8.234721] Slow work thread pool: Ready
server# [ 23.271708] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 1
server# [ 23.272443] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
server# mount: Host is down
server# [ 23.275188] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Maybe there is a configurable timeout somewhere, which would be much
nicer...

automatically. This is mostly useful for testing. (KDM also has
this feature, but it's nice not to depend on KDE for non-KDE tests.)

* Factored out some commonality between tests to make them a bit
simpler to write. A test is a function { pkgs, ... }: -> { nodes,
testScript } or { machine, testScript }. So it's no longer
necessary to have a "vms" attribute in every test.

write some magic string to ttyS0. This removes the dependency on
having a CIFS mount.
* Use a thread to process the stdout/stderr of each QEMU instance.
* Add a kernel command line parameter "stage1panic" to tell stage 1 to
panic if an error occurs. This is faster than waiting until
connect() times out.

installation-cd-minimal.nix is now 2.6.32. Added most of its extra
tools to installation-cd-base.nix.
* Put memtest86 at the bottom of the GRUB menu. (There is currently
no good way to do this other than to change the module inclusion
order.)

* Miss-interpretation of the --skip option of cryptsetup. Ciphered partition labels are not supported. Labels are erased when doing mkswap on the ciphered partition.
* Avoid doing swapon on devices which are already listed in /proc/swaps.
* Remove no longer listed devices with only one swapoff command.
