All activation scripts run in serial upon boot and nixos-rebuild switch
etc., in contrast to preStart which run before a service starts, and can
run in parallel with other services.
The munin(-node) activation script is particularly slow. Change it to a
preStart script so that it can run in parallel with other services and
not slow down boot (or nixos-rebuild switch).
This reduces (repeated) "nixos-rebuild test" time from ~16 seconds to ~8
on my (old) laptop.
The git-annex derivation depends on bloomfilter and it's currently broken on
i686 because of this. Upstream bloomfilter pull request already sent, this
is for the meantime.
We now track copied files in /etc/.clean. This is important, because
otherwise files that are removed from environment.etc will not
actually be removed from the file system. In particular, changing
users.extraUsers.<user>.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys to an empty list
would not cause /etc/ssh/authorized_keys.d/<user> to be removed, which
was a security issue.
gcc42 was removed in commit 5add082ab8
("gcc-4.2: Remove") but there are still some references to it. Remove
those references to fix Hydra tarball job.
kalibrate-rtl calculates the local oscillator frequency offset in
RTL-SDR devices.
kalibrate-rtl has no tags/releases, so I'm using the latest commit from
git master (dated 2013-12-14). I made an upstream issue about making a
release back in May[1], but I've gotten no response yet.

Currently, we have a 'jack' package with attrname 'jack1d' and a
'jackdbus' package with attrname 'jackaudio'. Make it consistent 'jack1'
and 'jack2' in both package name and attrname.
This aligns the naming with what can be found on the JACK homepage.
Q: what's the difference between jack1 and jack2?
