The xsession script runs services that depend on a sane environment. Gpg-agent, for
example, runs the program "pinentry-gtk-2" to obtain the password to unlock GnuPG
and SSH keys. That program will display only gibberish unless $FONTCONFIG_FILE is
configured properly. Instead of configuring these variables explicitly one by one,
we just source /etc/profile, which contains the appropriate @shellInit@ code.
Thus
networking.interfaces = [ { name = "eth0"; ipAddress = "192.168.15.1"; } ];
can now be written as
networking.interfaces.eth0.ipAddress = "192.168.15.1";
The old notation still works though.
Cgroups are handled by systemd now. Systemd's cgroup support does not
do all the things that cgrulesengd does, but they're likely to
interact poorly with each other.
We now just have a simple attribute called "version24" which replaces all those
pesky versionOlder that were spreading throughout the file and makes things way
more readable.

By default the path is determined related to ServerRoot. Unfortunately
ServerRoot is pointing to the Nix store and the web server can't write to it.
We now create a directory called "runtime" withen the stateDir and point
DefaultRuntimeDir to it.
For more information on the DefaultRuntimeDir directive, please see:

NameVirtualHost no longer has any effect on version 2.4 and just emits ugly
warnings, so let's not use it if we use 2.4.

The Order/Deny directives are deprecated in version 2.4, so we're going to
define two wrappers for allDenied and allGranted in order to properly generate
configurations for both version 2.2 and 2.4.
For more information an access control changes, see:

Now, MPMs can be loaded at runtime and it's no longer required to compile in one
of the MPM modules statically. So, if version is >= 2.4, load the MPM module
corresponding to the multiProcessingModule value of the service module.

Beginning with version 2.3, the authn were refactored. As a result, authn_alias
is now part of the new module authn_core, so let's use authn_core instead of
authn_alias.

My main reason for adding this is the ability to turn off helpers
altogether. If you are not using any of the special protocols, keeping
them turned off is safest, and in case you do want to use them, it's
best to configure them through the new CT target for your network
topology. Perhaps some sane defaults for nixos can be examined in the
future.
This change has no impact if you don't touch the added options, so no
need to adapt.
This is meant to replace /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter, which
only works for ipv4. Furthermore, it's nicer to handle this kind of
filtering in the firewall.
There are some more subtle differences, please see:
https://home.regit.org/netfilter-en/secure-use-of-helpers/
I chose to enable this by default (when the firewall is enabled) as
it's a good idea in general. Only people with advanced routing needs
might not want this, but I guess they don't use the nixos firewall
anyway and use a custom solution. Furthermore, the option only becomes
available in kernel 3.3+, so conservative nixos users that just stick
to the default kernel will not need to act now just yet.
For each statically configured interface, we now create a unit
‘<interface>-cfg.service’ which gets started as soon as the network
device comes up. Similarly, each bridge defined in
‘networking.bridges’ and virtual interface in ‘networking.interfaces’
is created by a service ‘<interface>.service’.
So if we have
networking.bridges.br0.interfaces = [ "eth0" "eth1" ];
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "br0";
ipAddress = "192.168.1.1";
}
];
then there will be a unit ‘br0.service’ that depends on
‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device’ and
‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth1.device’, and a unit ‘br0-cfg.service’
that depends on ‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-br0.device’.
