This is the first step towards dropping Stackage support. We keep LTS 6.x around because I don't want to downgrade our default compiler to GHC 7.x, but once LTS 7.x comes out we'll switch our main package set to that and drop Nightly. More details are at: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/20505 Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/14897.

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.
