This allows youtube-dl to support all versions of python, and be built correctly even when the python version is overridden by the user. An alias to youtube-dl has been added which points to the default python version's youtube-dl. Also, ffmpeg has been made into an optional dependency. If ffmpeg is set to 'null' then it will not be built and there will be no wrapper for it either. An extra package, youtube-dl-light, is the same as youtube-dl but without the ffmpeg dependency.
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.
