Without a group the gid will default to 65534 (2^16 - 2) which maps to "nogroup". IMO it makes more sense to explicitly set a valid group. Adding pkgs.sks to environment.systemPackages is not required (IIRC we want to avoid bloating environment.systemPackages). Instead it seems like a better idea to make the relevant binaries available to the user sks and enable useDefaultShell so that "su -l sks" can be used for manual interaction (that way the files will always have the correct owner).
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 https://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.
