This reverts commit a8eb2a6a81524f3be0c8886f6d06090b50b0a513. OpenSSH 7.0 is causing too many interoperability problems so soon before the 15.08 release. For instance, it causes NixOps EC2 initial deployments to fail with "REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED". This is because the client knows the server's ssh-dss host key, but this key is no longer accepted by default. Setting "HostKeyAlgorithms" to "+ssh-dss" does not work because it causes ssh-dss to be ordered after "ecdsa-sha2-nistp521", which the server also offers. (Normally, ssh prioritizes host key algorithms for which the client has a known host key, but not if you set HostKeyAlgorithms.)
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.
