These are some parts of the release that I want to get working before we release 18.09. There have been lots of improvements since 18.03 (as well as some regressions). To make sure the release is well-tested we need to add these apps in the jobset. Most of these are UI apps that are now available. List of new apps added to the release: - wireshark - firefox - qtmultimedia (already in unstable) - inkscape (already in unstable) - gimp - wireshark - transmission Also add ‘stack’. This is one of the Haskell packages hitting the ARG_MAX limit on macOS (getconf ARG_MAX == 262144). This has not been solved yet but it will need to be resolved by 18.09. Making it block here will prevent this regression in the future. [squashed] release: remove broken from darwin-tested removes: - gimp - qtmultimedia
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.
