This reverts commit 670b4e29adc16e0a29aa5b4c126703dcca56aeb6. The change added in this commit was controversial when it was originally suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/29205. Then that PR was closed and a new one opened, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/29503, effectively circumventing the review process. I don't agree with this modification. Adding an option 'resolveLocalQueries' to tell the locally running name server that it should resolve local DNS queries feels outright nuts. I agree that the current state is unsatisfactory and that it should be improved, but this is not the right way. (cherry picked from commit 23a021d12e8f939cd0bfddb1c7adeb125028c1e3)
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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
