Since commit f620b1b693ec25af, the build directory is located inside the
source directory. Thus, the `cp -dpR` copies gigabytes worth of .o files
only to be deleted later on when we trim all non-essential files from
`$dev/lib/modules/${modDirVersion}/source/` thus causing a significant
amount of wasted I/O and peak disk usage.
As `cp` doesn't come with a `--exclude` flag, use rsync. And throw out
the Documentation folder while at it.
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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
