Heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL
</title>
<description>
A <a href="http://heartbleed.com/">serious security
vulnerability</a> has been discovered in OpenSSL. All stable
NixOS releases prior to version
<strong>13.10.35708.15a465c</strong> are vulnerable. (You can
see your current version by running <tt>nixos-version</tt>.) To
upgrade to the latest NixOS version, run <tt>nixos-rebuild
switch --upgrade</tt>. You can verify whether you are safe by
running
<pre class="code">
$ nix-store -qR /run/current-system | grep openssl
</pre>
If this shows any OpenSSL version prior to 1.0.1g, you may be
vulnerable.

NixOS 13.10 released
</title>
<description>
We have released NixOS 13.10, the first stable branch of NixOS.
Its goal is to provide a safe branch for production environments
that need bug fixes and security updates, but not the
potentially destabilising changes that sometimes occur on the
unstable branch. You can get NixOS 13.10 ISOs and VirtualBox
appliances from the <a href="nixos/download.html">download
page</a>. See the <a
href="http://lists.science.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2013-October/011941.html">announcement</a>
for more information. For information on how to switch an
existing NixOS machine from the unstable channel to 13.10, check

ISSRE paper on NixOS-based system testing
</title>
<description>
The paper <a href="docs/papers.html#issre10">“Automating System
Tests Using Declarative Virtual Machines”</a> (by Sander van der
Burg and Eelco Dolstra) has been accepted for presentation at
the <a href="http://www.issre2010.org/">21st IEEE International
Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE 2010)</a>.
It describes how system tests with complex requirements on the
environment (such as remote machines, network topologies, system
services or root privileges) can be written succinctly using <a
href="https://svn.nixos.org/websvn/nix/nixos/trunk/tests/bittorrent.nix">declarative
specifications</a> of the machines needed by the test
environment. From these specifications we can automatically
instantiate (networks of) virtual machines. This is what we use
for <a
href="https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/trunk/jobstatus">automated
regression testing of NixOS itself</a>. A <a
href="https://nixos.org/~eelco/pubs/decvms-issre2010-submitted.pdf">draft
of the paper</a> is available.

KDE 4.2 in Nixpkgs/NixOS
</title>
<description>
<a
href="nixos/screenshots/nixos-kde42-1.png"><img
class="inline screenshot"
src="nixos/screenshots/nixos-kde42-1-small.png"
alt="KDE 4.2 screenshot" /></a>
We now have a fairly complete set of KDE 4.2 packages in Nixpkgs
and NixOS. Previously we had KDE 3.5, but it was rather
incomplete: just <tt>kdelibs</tt> and <tt>kdebase</tt>.
Now we have all that <a
href="nixos/screenshots/nixos-kde42-2.png">desktop
goodness</a>, such as <tt>kdemultimedia</tt>,
<tt>kdenetwork</tt> and <tt>kdegames</tt>. You can
enable KDE 4 in NixOS by setting the
<tt>services.xserver.sessionType</tt> option to
<tt>kde4</tt>. Thanks go to Yury G. Kudryashov, Andrew
Morsillo and Sander van der Burg for doing the hard work on
adding KDE 4 to Nixpkgs. (<a

Hydra
</title>
<description>
<a href="https://hydra.nixos.org/">
<img class="inline" src="images/hydra.png" alt="Hydra
logo"/></a>
<a
href="https://hydra.nixos.org/releases/nix/unstable">Nix</a>
and <a
href="https://hydra.nixos.org/project/nixos/jobstatus">NixOS</a>
releases are now built in <a
href="https://hydra.nixos.org/">Hydra</a>, the new Nix-based
continuous build system. Hydra replaces our <a
href="http://buildfarm.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/status">old Nix-based
build farm</a>, which will be phased out soon. There are
several advantages over the old build farm: the build tasks for
a project are scheduled and published separately, so that for
instance a (fast) tarball build doesn’t have to wait for a
(slow) Cygwin build; build results are stored in a database,
which will enable all sorts of interesting queries; better error
reporting; a better web interface; and much more. We have
written a <a
href="https://nixos.org/~eelco/pubs/hydra-scp-submitted.pdf">draft
paper about Hydra</a>. There are some <a
href="https://hydra.nixos.org/job/hydra/trunk/build/latest/download-by-type/doc/manual">instructions
available</a> about how to set up your own Hydra server.

Nix 0.12 released
</title>
<description>
<a href="https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-0.12/">Nix
0.12</a> has been released. The most important change is that
Nix no longer needs Berkeley DB to store metadata, but there are
many other improvements. See the <a
href="https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-0.12/release-notes/">release
notes</a> for details.

DisNix paper accepted at HotSWUp
</title>
<description>
<p>
The paper “Atomic Upgrading of Distributed Systems” (by Sander
van der Burg, Eelco Dolstra and Merijn de Jonge) has been
accepted for presentation at the <a
href="http://www.hotswup.org/">First ACM Workshop on Hot
Topics in Software Upgrades (HotSWUp)</a>. A <a
href="https://nixos.org/~eelco/pubs/atomic-hotswup2008-submitted.pdf">draft
of the paper</a> is available. It describes Sander’s master’s
thesis research on DisNix, an extension to Nix that allows
deployment and upgrading of distributed systems from a single
declarative description. We will continue this research in
the <a
href="http://swerl.tudelft.nl/bin/view/Main/PDS">Jacquard PDS
project</a>, which has now started. (We still have an opening
for a PhD student or a postdoc; please <a
href="mailto:visser@acm.org">contact us</a> if you’re
interested.)

NixOS paper accepted at ICFP!
</title>
<description>
<p>
The paper “NixOS: A Purely Functional Linux Distribution” (by
Eelco Dolstra and Andres Löh) has been <a
href="http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/accepted/accepted.html">accepted</a>
for presentation at the <a
href="http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/">2008
International Conference on Functional Programming</a> (ICFP).
It describes NixOS in much greater detail than last year’s
HotOS paper, and argues why the purely functional style and
features such as laziness are important for system
configuration management. It also provides some measurements
on the actual purity of Nix build actions. A <a
href="https://nixos.org/~eelco/pubs/nixos-icfp2008-submitted.pdf">draft
of the paper</a> is available.

Website back up
</title>
<description>
<p>
The Nix website was down for a few days due to cooling
problems in the server room causing the machine to overheat.
These should be resolved now. Apologies for the
inconvenience.
