The `haskell-gi` build fails its doctests because of a missing library; I'm not 100% convinced that setting it to `dontCheck` is the right thing to do, but I don't have a better idea at the moment. The `gi-gdkx11` build fails because, surprise, Gdk-X11 isn't found; by looking around in my store, I found that that that library seems to live in gtk3 these days; this override is just a stop-gap, though, I've also submitted the change to cabal2nix that I believe will fix the automatic generation of the package in the future.
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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
