- Don't build with libsigsegv by default. The build apparently attempted to link against it, but it never retained the reference anyway... - Side effect: stdenv bootstrapping needs no libsigsegv anymore. - Run checks, but only in the interactive gawk by default on Linux, so that stdenv bootstrap isn't slowed down (by glibc locales, etc.). - xz should be no longer needed in inputs, as we have it in stdenvs now. The whole change was triggered by some used kernel versions still breaking libsigsegv tests #28464.
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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
