Referencing modulesPath in NixOS configurations can cause evaluation
errors in restricted mode. If used as `${modulesPath}` (as in all
use-sites in nixpkgs) the modules subtree is copied into its own store
path. Access to this path will be forbidden in restricted mode.
Converting to a string solves this issue.
`${builtins.toString modulesPath}` will point to a subdirectory of the
nixpkgs tree out of which evalModules is called.
This change converts modulesPath to a string by default so that the
call-site doesn't have to anymore.
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 git://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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
