For some reason I haven't been able to figure out, sift does not build on OSX. I think it is because sift uses cgo for some of its functionality which you can see here: https://github.com/svent/sift/blob/master/matching_cgo.go#L23 The error which hydra found (and is reproducible on OSX) can be seen here: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/37169149 Ideally I would like to get sift building on OSX, however my nix-fu is weak. Any suggestions are welcome. In the meantime I would like to get sift into one of the release channels for Linux where it works fine.
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.
