This is rework of part of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/46670. My usecase was to be able to inspect PG datadir as wheel user. PG11 now allows starting server with 0750 mask for data dir. `groupAccess = true` now does this automatically. The only thing you have to do is to set group ownership. For PG10 and below, I've described a hack how this can be done. Before this PR hack was impossible. The hack isn't ideal, because there is short period of time when dir mode is 0700, so I didn't want to make it official. Test/example is present too.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-19.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-19.03
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
