The source distribution contains binaries (probably for testing) that
make the Avira virus scanner treat it as malware on account of a “bad
ELF header”. Apart from being preferable in general, the HTTPS download
makes the file opaque to the overeager AV scanner in transparent
proxying setups.
Also adapt to the fact that the canonical downloads now point to a URL
like this:
https://releases.llvm.org/4.0.1/llvm-4.0.1.src.tar.xz
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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
