Changes since 1.6.0:
1.7.3 (3.4.2014)
- bugfix: test routines, gpg2 asked for passphrase although GPG_PW was set
1.7.2 (1.4.2014 "April,April")
- bugfix: debian Bug#743190 "duply no longer allows restoration without
gpg passphrase in conf file"
GPG_AGENT_INFO env var is now needed to trigger --use-agent
- bugfix: gpg keyenc test routines didn't work if GPG_PW was not set
1.7.1 (30.3.2014)
- bugfix: purge-* commands renamed to purgeFull, purgeIncr due to
incompatibility with new minus batch separator
1.7.0 (20.3.2014)
- disabled gpg key id plausibility check, too many valid possibilities
- featreq 7 "Halt if precondition fails":
added and(+), or(-) batch command(separator) support
- featreq 26 "pre/post script with shebang line":
if a script is flagged executable it's executed in a subshell
now as opposed to sourced to bash, which is the default
- bugfix: do not check if dpbx, swift credentials are set anymore
- bugfix: properly escape profile name, archdir if used as arguments
- add DUPL_PRECMD conf setting for use with e.g. trickle
Release 1.25.27 (released March 15, 2014):
Fix bug: When serializing a very large floating point number, sender
of an XML-RPC message adds some junk after the decimal point. With
assertion checking enabled, it just crashes. Broken in 1.15 (June 2008).
Changes since 0.7.5:
* added libav 10 and ffmpeg 2.2 support;
* fixed url parsing;
* fixed freezing on playback resume;
* fixed random freezing in the mplayer plugin;
* fixed reset selection of tracks when calling context menu;
* fixed multimedia keys support under win32.
(And update liburcu to 0.8.4 according to release notes for lttng 2.4.x.)
In addition to new features and bug fixes, version 2.4.x is needed to build
against Linux 3.12 (our new stable kernel).
This module implements a significant refactoring in grsecurity
configuration for NixOS, making it far more usable by default and much
easier to configure.
- New security.grsecurity NixOS attributes.
- All grsec kernels supported
- Allows default 'auto' grsec configuration, or custom config
- Supports custom kernel options through kernelExtraConfig
- Defaults to high-security - user must choose kernel, server/desktop
mode, and any virtualisation software. That's all.
- kptr_restrict is fixed under grsecurity (it's unwriteable)
- grsecurity patch creation is now significantly abstracted
- only need revision, version, and SHA1
- kernel version requirements are asserted for sanity
- built kernels can have the uname specify the exact grsec version
for development or bug reports. Off by default (requires
`security.grsecurity.config.verboseVersion = true;`)
- grsecurity sysctl support
- By default, disabled.
- For people who enable it, NixOS deploys a 'grsec-lock' systemd
service which runs at startup. You are expected to configure sysctl
through NixOS like you regularly would, which will occur before the
service is started. As a result, changing sysctl settings requires
a reboot.
- New default group: 'grsecurity'
- Root is a member by default
- GRKERNSEC_PROC_GID is implicitly set to the 'grsecurity' GID,
making it possible to easily add users to this group for /proc
access
- AppArmor is now automatically enabled where it wasn't before, despite
implying features.apparmor = true
The most trivial example of enabling grsecurity in your kernel is by
specifying:
security.grsecurity.enable = true;
security.grsecurity.testing = true; # testing 3.13 kernel
security.grsecurity.config.system = "desktop"; # or "server"
This specifies absolutely no virtualisation support. In general, you
probably at least want KVM host support, which is a little more work.
So:
security.grsecurity.enable = true;
security.grsecurity.stable = true; # enable stable 3.2 kernel
security.grsecurity.config = {
system = "server";
priority = "security";
virtualisationConfig = "host";
virtualisationSoftware = "kvm";
hardwareVirtualisation = true;
}
This module has primarily been tested on Hetzner EX40 & VQ7 servers
using NixOps.
