tox/detox are removed; they are used to test multiple python implementations in parallel, which isn't really appropriate for a Nix install check. Also, because these were added to the propagated build inputs, lots of unnecessary stuff ended up in the resulting closure. Note that removing tox does not imply tests are not run; they never were to begin with; this is a separate issue. This fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/16171 Also, for "correctness" ordinary build-time dependencies are added to `buildInputs`; only inputs that are to be added to the python path are added to `propagatedBuildInputs`.
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-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
