Somewhat amusingly given its name, "clang.patch" applies to both 5 and 6
but is the cause of ncurses6 breakage on 6 but is required on 5...
gcc is happy in all four configurations:
5 5p 6 6p
gcc ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓
clang ✗ ✓ ✓ ✗
Which is why this commit enables the patch for 5 but not 6;
this matches behavior in Gentoo, for example.
For further simplification, we also use gcc-5 patch regardless.
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
