These packages will be placed into an environment using
`backendsToPackages`. This function explicitly maps backends to
`pkgs.nodePackages.${type}` unless it's a builtin. This ensures that only
valid backends that work on NixOS are used (if not, the build already
breaks at evaluation time).
The log will be redirected to `stdout` to be able to watch the entire
output using `journalctl`.
Configuration parameters for the backends need to be set using
`services.statsd.extraConfig` as each backend has its own options and
all of them shouldn't be validated and checked explicitly and manually.
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.
