Fixes #12794 by reverting the source tree splitup (c92dbff) to use the source tarball directly into the main Chromium derivation and making the whole source/ subdirectory obsolete. The reasons for this are explained in 4f981b4f84707a63904410bb3e2b88621db03e8e. This also now renames the "sources.nix" file to "upstream-info.nix", which is a more proper name for the file, because it not only contains "source code" but also the Chrome binaries needed for the proprietary plugins (of course "source" could also mean "where to get it", but I wanted to avoid this ambiguity entirely). I have successfully built and tested this using the VM tests. All results can be found here: https://headcounter.org/hydra/eval/313435
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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
