We're simply using antiquotation, since it's been a while since these got introduced (in Nix 1.7). So we can use them because it makes the code much more readable. As usual, I made sure that I didn't accidentally change something in functionality: $ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix ... /nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv $ git stash pop ... $ nix-instantiate nixos/tests/virtualbox.nix ... /nix/store/cldxyrxqvwpqm02cd3lvknnmj4qmblyn-vm-test-run-virtualbox.drv $ Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
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.
