A new python script has been added to replace the aged viml-based updater. The new updater has the following advantages: - use rss feeds to check for updates quicker - parallel downloads & better caching - uses proper override mechanism instead of text substitution - update generated files in-place instead of having to insert updated plugins manually Automatically reading `dependencies` from the plugins directory has been not re-implemented. This has been mostly been used by Mark Weber's plugins, which seem to no longer receive regular updates. This could be implemented in future as required.
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.
