In `nixos/modules/virtualisation/google-compute-image.nix`, copy store paths with `rsync -a` rather than `cp -prd`, because `rsync` seems better able to handle the hard-links that may be present in the store, whereas `cp` may fail to copy them. I have tested that the Google Compute Engine image builds successfully for me with this patch, whereas it did not without this patch. This is the same fix applied for Azure images in commit 097ef6e435d5b3fcde92e67abbaaaaaf05c0723d. Fixes #23973.
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.
