The `pkgs.yabar` package is relatively old (2016-04) and contains several issues fixed on master. `yabar-unstable` containsa recent master build with several fixes and a lot of new features (I use `yabar-unstable` for some time now and had no issues with it). In the upstream bugtracker some bugs could be fixed on ArchLinux by simply installing `yabar-git` (an AUR package which builds a recent master). To stabilize the module, the option `programs.yabar.package` now defaults to `pkgs.yabar-unstable` and yields a warning with several linked issues that are known on `pkgs.yabar`. The test has been refactored as well to ensure that `yabar` actually starts (and avoid non-deterministic random success) and takes a screenshot of a very minimalistic configuration on IceWM. Fixes #46899
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.
