Minor OTP releases (and their manpages) are not available for dowload at http://erlang.org/download But e.g.: - 18.3.1 contains an important fix for mnesia - 18.3.1-18.3.4 has a lot of SSL/TLS fixes So we have to fetch from GitHub and build everything ourselves. Also replace explicit path patching with upstream patches: - https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1023 - https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1103 - with this patch it's now possible to build erlang in sandboxed mode
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
