This reverts commit 86caec1be1ac98dee4e6a1b993293e9bacaa53ee. In this commit tests were re-enabled, but without correctly testing whether it could. When a package builds it doesn't mean the tests are actually run. This is often seen when it says that 0 tests were run. Typically this is because the test runner was invoked incorrectly. By re-enabling the tests, a false impression is generated that the package is tested while in fact it isn't. Furthermore, the Python 3.5 package broke because the tests are invoked incorrectly. cc @abbradar
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
