$ nix repl lib
Welcome to Nix version 2.0.2. Type :? for help.
Loading 'lib'...
Added 350 variables.
-- this is the exact example from the function's documentation:
nix-repl> recursiveUpdateUntil (path: l: r: path == ["foo"]) {
# first attribute set
foo.bar = 1;
foo.baz = 2;
bar = 3;
} {
#second attribute set
foo.bar = 1;
foo.quz = 2;
baz = 4;
}
{ bar = 3; baz = 4; foo = { bar = 1; baz = 2; quz = 2; }; }
-- although the documentation says:
{
foo.bar = 1; # 'foo.*' from the second set
foo.quz = 2; #
bar = 3; # 'bar' from the first set
baz = 4; # 'baz' from the second set
}
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.
