This reverts commit 93c54acf97077567e8d6135a36f191e872b26692. This reopens #30517 @nbp @Ma27 Breaking people's config for this is hardly reasonable as is. If it absolutely cannot be avoided, at the very least, we need to provide clear instructions on what people need to upgrade in their config. I actually had to bisect to the commit, to even find out what property I should change or define, as the error message was useless. It didn't even mention a property name. Discussion on the PR seems to be ongoing, so I'm reverting this, so we don't break people's systems on unstable.
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
