This is kind of a mess, but basically: - static=true, shared=true means to build statically but move it to the static output - static=true, shared=false means to build statically and leave it in the main output - static=false, shared=true means to not build static at all Confusingly, the old default was static=true, shared=true even though static=false? Still can’t figure out what was meant by that. (cherry picked from commit e999def1597de9d03a35cfa6b62277adb0e9a7ad)
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 https://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.
