This is because they are just for Setup.hs, so they are just used at build time and completely isolated from the normal components' dependencies. This was previous implemented in 8a8f0408cd9b7fdda1095718107c800057658c44, but reverted in e69c7f56419589c0d3296e81f47032fa813cca4b because it broken setup-depends non-cross in haskell shell environments (custom Setup.hs in cross shell environments has never worked). This version adds a special native exception to avoid that breakage.
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-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.
