Improvements:
- Use a versioned URL
- The build won't break anymore (due to a wrong hash) after a new
version is being released
- It will be possible to build older versions
- Add (hopefully all) runtime dependencies (Git, GnuPG and less (for
"repo help"))
- Add the upstream license
- Add a long description
- Use the name of the Git tag for the version
- The version number from the script (currently 1.23) is only
incremented after "important" changes (i.e. there are slightly
different different scripts with "VERSION = (1, 23)")
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.
