Thanks to @domenkozar for implicitly reminding me that documentation is probably our biggest issue. And I'm a dumbass for contributing to that situation, so let's do better than that and document it. The current changes are only preparation for a bigger change coming real soon[TM] in Hydra and release-tools, so right now it's still a bit tedious to create custom channels.

<listitem><para>Steam now doesn't need root rights to work. Instead of using
|
|
<literal>*-steam-chrootenv</literal>, you should now just run <literal>steam</literal>.
|
|
<literal>steamChrootEnv</literal> package was renamed to <literal>steam</literal>,
|
|
and old <literal>steam</literal> package -- to <literal>steamOriginal</literal>.

</para></listitem>

|
<listitem><para>CMPlayer has been renamed to bomi upstream. Package <literal>cmplayer</literal>
|
|
was accordingly renamed to <literal>bomi</literal>
|
|
</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The default <literal>NIX_PATH</literal> for NixOS now includes
|
|
<literal>/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels</literal>, so it's
|
|
easy to add custom channels.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Moreover, whenever a <command>nixos-rebuild <action>
|
|
--upgrade</command> is issued, every channel that includes a file
|
|
called <filename>.update-on-nixos-rebuild</filename> will be upgraded
|
|
alongside of the <literal>nixos</literal> channel.
