':' is currently used as separator in /boot/grub/state for the list of devices GRUB should be installed to. The problem is that ':' itself may appear in a device path: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_20043512300546C0B317-0:0 With such a path, NixOS will install GRUB *every* time, because it thinks the configuration differs from the state file (due to the wrong list split). Fix it by using ',' as separator. For existing systems with GRUB installed on multiple devices, this change means that GRUB will be installed one extra time.
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
