Many formats generate an image only large enough for the generated NixOS
config. This quickly runs out of space for NixOS servers that are updated
over time rather than being redeployed with fresh images.

by s/-type/-xtype/ in the "find" invocation. Now nixos-generate prints
both regular files and symlinks to regular files (like "run-nixos-vm"
for the "vm" and "vm-nogui" formats).
* rename eval-format.nix to nixos-generate.nix
Make it clear that it's meant to be used by the nixos-generate script
* rename config.nix to configuration.nix
Bring the name closer to /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
* fix the NIXOS_CONFIG
this is the env name that nixos-rebuild uses
* use -I to load the configuration and format
This has a nice side-effect of allowing URLs as configuration
* add Travis CI
* cleanSource
* gitignore nix result files
* use modulesPath everywhere
this makes sure that the passed pkgs in nixos-generate.nix is the same
one we use to load these other modules
* use toString to avoid evaluation error
* WIP: eval target
* rename nixos-build to nixos-generate
* rename target to format
* allow to pass arbitrary format paths
* add --help option
* add --list option
* port the rest of the formats
* add short options
* be more precise with the file selection
* use new trick I learned
* support the --run option
for the no-gui version:
./nixos-generate --run -f vm-no-gui
* document
* fixup! port the rest of the formats
* fix kexec-bundle
