Popfile by default assumes that it is run directly from the install directory, in which it has full write access. This assumption is invalid on Nix, and so Popfile is pachted to accomodate this: - define `POPFILE_ROOT` in wrapper Default POPFile configuration assumes it is running in the installation directory. This patch wraps `popfile.pl` so that `POPFILE_ROOT` points to the installation directory - define and create if missing `POPFILE_USER` in wrapper POPFile stores stores state in the `POPFILE_USER` directory, which by default is the installation directory. This change sets `POPFILE_USER` to `$HOME/.popfile` by default, creating it with 0700 mode if necessary.
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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
