The installer tests are failing after 505e94256ef247dc54250 due to `nixos-rebuild switch` in the installed system trying to build stdenvNoCC. Seems that previously, stdenvNoCC wasn't in the installed system either, but all the direct dependencies for the build were (I don't really understand why, for that matter), so the building actually went fine and everything worked. But now gcc is also a direct build dependency due to allowedRequisites containing gcc (even though it doesn't become a runtime dependency) which doesn't get to the installed system. All in all, let's ensure stdenvNoCC actually gets to the installed system. It's after all necessary in almost any NixOS config 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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
