Expose the path to a lesskey file as a module option. This makes it
possible to maintain a single lesskey file, used for both NixOS and
non-nix systems. An example of how this can be done follows.
1. Write a derivation that fetches lesskey from a known location:
{ stdenv, fetchgit }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "foo";
src = fetchgit { .. };
phases = [ "unpackPhase" "installPhase" ];
installPhase = "mkdir -p $out && cp $src/lesskey $out/lesskey";
}
2. Set programs.less.configFile to the corresponding path:
programs.less = {
enable = true;
configFile = "${pkgs.foo}/lesskey";
};
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-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.
