Xen required a few changes in order to be usable: * Include xenfs module in initrd as loading it in the activation script was failing. * Include /etc/default/xendomains, which is needed by xen-domains service. * Create /var/log/xen and /var/lib/xen directories in the xen-store service, which are needed by the xl command. The directories could be created by any other script as long as they are guaranteed to exist before xl is called. * Fix a reference to /bin/ls in the xendomains script.
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.
