This makes it easier to support a wider variety of .desktop session files. In particular this makes it possible to use both the «legacy» sessions and upstream session files. We separate `xsession` into two parts, `xsessionWrapper` and `xsession`. `xsessionWrapper` sets up the correct environment and then lauches the session's Exec command (from the .desktop file), falling back to launching the default window/desktopManager through the `xsession` script (required by at least some nixos tests). `xsession` then _only_ handles launching desktop-managers/window-managers defined through `services.xserver.desktopManager.session`.
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.
