This reverts commit c2922a9157a8d8db62cee763e254113c3766461e. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/19930 While the above commit is designed to allow GDM to work, it appears to break other use cases. In particular, it breaks tests involving X usage (e.g., i3wm[1] and firefox[2]), which makes it difficult to assess the impact of other changes and so hampers development of unrelated features. https://hydra.nixos.org/build/42852015 https://hydra.nixos.org/build/42851666
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.
