This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth, it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths. Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably, not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure. Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it. Two misc notes: - `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files. - `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered during recursion.
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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
