in read-only way. If the cache directory is empty and you use the very same service for system's DNS, kresd is unable to bootstrap root trust anchors, as it would need a DNS lookup. Also, if we don't rely on bootstrap, the extra lua deps of kresd could be dropped by default, but let's not do that now, as the difference in closure size is only ~4 MB, and there may be other use cases than running the package as nixos service this way.
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
