`zed` is obviously dead and not maintained anymore (https://zef.me/how-to-abandon-open-source-d5ebbc6e45e5). As the last upstream commit was in 2015 we faced and will face many issues with its dependencies due to the outdated upstream which can be fatal when having security issues in the NodeJS ecosystem to fix. One example is the handling of `nwjs` which is currently version `0.23`, but `zed` relies on `0.9`. In order to reduce the maintenance overload because of dead packages it's better to get rid of `zed` entirely. Fixes #37361
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
