Enables previously manually disabled stackprotector and stackguard randomization. From https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511811: If glibc is built with the --enable-stackguard-randomization option, each application gets a random canary value (at runtime) from /dev/urandom. If --enable-stackguard-randomization is absent, applications get a static canary value of "0xff0a0000". This is very unfortunate, because the attacker may be able to bypass the stack protection mechanism, by placing those 4 bytes in the canary word, before the actual canary check is performed (for example in memcpy-based buffer overflows).
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.
