* x11 module: don't restart the display manager indefinitely If the display managers crashes continuously in loops it prevents the user from switching to the console and try to fix things. Especially when using the "auto" display manager it can happen quite easily. * x11 module: fix display manager restart timeouts It takes more than 1 second to boot the X server.
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-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
