ee58a5b30d6e60407b44fbb02ddade6c20fd8763 broke the plv8 build because it upgraded the v8_6_x expression everywhere to the 6.9 branch, which came with API changes. Notably, it seems plv8 only supports up-to v8 6.4.x at this time. This keeps a copy of the plv8_6_x expression inside the same directory as the other v8 versions (so patches, etc are easy to apply), but it is not exposed to the top-level of all-packages.nix.

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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
