The `3.0.1` build was broken (see the Hydra build from https://hydra.nixos.org/build/74368257 for further reference). Because of the missing `utillinux` build input the package fails fairly early: ``` -- Checking for module 'blkid' -- No package 'blkid' found CMake Error at /nix/store/9hmhxgj4jk6jmxihgavj6gm0p759misc-cmake-3.10.2/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:415 (message): A required package was not found ``` Additionally `partition-manager` was broken on non-KDE desktops (none+i3 in my case) as the plugins from `libsForQt5.kpmcore` couldn't be found in `QT_PLUGIN_PATH` unless it's installed in `environment.systemPackages` or with `nix-env -iA libsForQt5.kpmcore`. This has been fixed by adding a wrapper in the `postInstall` hook which prefixes the `QT_PLUGIN_PATH` with the plugin path from `kpmcore` used for the build.
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.
