Regression introduced by da36847d925058fd86f027b64cc712c57be11ad8. The kernelPackages NixOS module option now uses .override to add kernel patches defined in boot.kernelPatches into the kernel within the kernelPackages set. For generic kernels, we already have an .override which comes with callPackage, but pkgs.linuxManualConfig is a function where we want to override the attributes passed to it. The callPackage to manual-config.nix only allows us to override its internal attributes but not the attributes of the function returned. Simplified it looks like this: .----- .override provided by __|__ callPackage | | (callPackage .../manual-config.nix { ... }) { ... } |_____| | the one -----' we actually want to override Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
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-16.09
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
