After #16017 there were a lot of comments saying that `nix` would be better than `JSON` for Go packages dependency sets. As said in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/16017#issuecomment-229624046 > Because of the content-addressable store, if two programs have the > same dependency it will already result in the same derivation in > the > store. Git also has compression in the pack files so it won't make > much difference to duplicate the dependencies on disk. And finally > most users will just use the binary builds so it won't make any > differences to them. This PR removes `libs.json` file and puts all package dependencies in theirs `deps.json`.
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.
