- Now `pkg.outputUnspecified = true` but this attribute is missing in every output, so we can recognize whether the user chose or not. If (s)he didn't choose, we put `pkg.bin or pkg.out or pkg` into `systemPackages`. - `outputsToLink` is replaced by `extraOutputsToLink`. We add extra outputs *regardless* of whether the user chose anything. It's mainly meant for outputs with docs and debug symbols. - Note that as a result, some libraries will disappear from system path.
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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
