This was preventing the Nixpkgs channel from updating, since the program indexer barfed on: error: anonymous function at /nix/store/wdnwbh3kmf68nhqqp0khcyxbdbp43vg5-nixos-14.12.626.b0d594c/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/node-packages.nix:1:1 called without required argument ‘neededNatives’, at /data/releases/nixos/unstable-small/.tmp-nixos-16.03pre72946.c50d013-787/unpack/nixos-16.03pre72946.c50d013/lib/customisation.nix:56:12 because Nixpkgs 16.03 was importing files from Nixpkgs 14.12. Also added some half-assed checks to detect this issue in the future.
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.
