Resolve download.dnscrypt.org using hostip with a bootstrap resolver (hard-coded to Google Public DNS for now), to ensure that we can get an up-to-date resolver list without working name service lookups. This makes us more robust to the upstream resolver list getting out of date and other DNS configuration problems. We use the curl --resolver switch to allow https cert validation (we'd need to do --insecure if using just the ip addr). Note that we don't rely on https for security but it's nice to have it ...
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.
