Some time ago I fixed the broken package `osquery` (see #39336). I had to test the package manually by starting the daemon locally, however this doesn't ensure that the module is still functional. In order to cover the package *and* the integration with the NixOS module I thought that adding a testcase might be the best idea. The current testcase does the following things: * Starts an `osqueryd` service in a test machine with customized logger path and PID file * Ensures that the `osqueryd.service` unit is running * Checks if the customized flags (`pidfile`, `logger_path`) are applied to `osquery`. * Performs a simple test query against the `etc_hosts` database to check if the basic funcitonality of `osquery` (storing system information into a database) works fine.
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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
