As suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/39416#discussion_r183845745 the versioning attributes in `lib` should be consistent to `nixos/version` which implicates the following changes: * `lib.trivial.version` -> `lib.trivial.release` * `lib.trivial.suffix` -> `lib.trivial.versionSuffix` * `lib.nixpkgsVersion` -> `lib.version` As `lib.nixpkgsVersion` is referenced several times in `NixOS/nixpkgs`, `NixOS/nix` and probably several user's setups. As the rename will cause a notable impact it's better to keep `lib.nixpkgsVersion` as alias with a warning yielded by `builtins.trace`.
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.
