This reverts commit 6ff886e539fb2b2017ad3866f068db9368a038d5 because it
doesn't work when chroot builds are enabled (nix.useChroot = true):
$ nix-build -A arduino
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/xjv1j3mww4jx1vccfc0p1inlcrlgx2if-arduino-1.6.6.drv
building path(s) ‘/nix/store/58sdiphd4pm3811gir0b8j718pgq8zvk-arduino-1.6.6’

BUILD FAILED
Reasoning: without a revert, the build farm cannot produce binaries and
users that build from source, without chroot, cannot trust that they get
a working result (non-deterministic build, depending on how pure the
arduino builder is).
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
