Vladimír Čunát b9f6dfe8c5 nixos manuals: allow displaying package references
The manuals are now evaluated with each derivation in `pkgs` (recursively)
replaced by a fake with path "\${pkgs.path.to.the.attribute}".
It isn't perfect, but it seems to cover a vast majority of use cases.
Caveat: even if the package is reached by a different means,
the path above will be shown and not e.g. `${config.services.foo.package}`.

As before, defaults created by `mkDefault` aren't displayed,
but documentation shouldn't (mostly) be a reason to use that anymore.

Note: t wouldn't be enough to just use `lib.mapAttrsRecursive`,
because derivations are also (special) attribute sets.

Build Status Issue Stats Issue Stats

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.
