This replaces standard checkPhase using setup.py that uses pytest-runner with an explicit call to pytest. One reason to do that is because setup.py triggers another rebuild when asked to do "test". Another reason is that there seems to be a conflict between possible imports for pyarrow: `pwd`/pyarrow vs $out/pyarrow. By some unknown reason this triggers an import error on hydra and ofborg, but not on my machine. The solution here is to remove `pwd`/pyarrow, keep the tests and use direct call to pytest (setup.py needs `pwd`/pyarrow). The added benefit is that we are now testing what is installed in $out.
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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
