The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are bound to be better tested than `fdisk`. This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the `fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected. * #39354 * #46309 * #39942 * #45478 Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes. In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been made, allowing better deep linking.
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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
