https://github.com/peti/jailbreak-cabal/issues/9 forced us to use a binary version of jailbreak-cabal built with ghc 7.8.x in the 7.10.x package set, which is awkward. Upstream fixed the underlying issue in https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2598, but unfortunately that fix didn't make it into the Cabal 1.22.4.0 release shipped by ghc 7.10.2. Now, we work around that issue by building jailbreak-cabal with an unreleased development snapshot of Cabal in the ghc 7.10.x package set. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/8901.
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-14.12 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
