Dan Peebles 732495017b perl-5.20: break dependency on the compiler that built it 
This is a major closure size reduction on Darwin, and probably a less
significant one on Linux. On darwin, retaining the compiler means adding
clang and its dependency llvm to the perl closure, which gives us ~400MB
of extra stuff. Considering that Nix itself depends on this version of
perl, that makes cutting a new Nix release rather unpleasaont Darwin.

After this patch, I was able to get the `nixUnstable` closure down to
21MB after feeding it into a .tar.xz (123MB before compression). There's
still room for improvement but this should carry us over until we split
outputs.

Build Status Issue Stats Issue Stats

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-15.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
