This also merges pull request #8290 plus a few other fixes from
@ambrop72 and me.
The summary of changes is:
* Update all channels to latest upstream.
* Update GYP package and drop gyp_svn1977.
* Remove ICU from buildInputs to prevent build failure.
* Switch back to using --depth . to GYP instead of patching in the
absolute store paths.
* Don't symlink source code anymore, which might introduce a
regression on high I/O load on Hydra. As this is only a temporary
build fix, let's cross fingers and hope we don't hit it. See
c92dbffeac for an explanation.
* Use HTTPS for the bucket URL.
* Fix nix_plugin_paths patch for version 44 and higher.

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-14.12 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
