1. Detect (and automatically handle) parasitic systems. 2. Each nix package has only one asd, and (almost) every parasitic package inside it builds. 3. Ensure that parasitic systems are compiled. 4. Remove unnecessary testnames lisp override mechanism (the testnae/testSystem is replaced by parasites/buildSystems). 5. Parasitic systems (if included in the system closure) become aliases to their host package. 6. Support caching fasl files in a known directory (for faster re-generation after modifying quicklisp-to-nix-system-info). 7. Eliminate unnecessary overrides. We're going to determine ALL lisp dependencies correctly. 8. Don't try to "build" lisp packages with make. lispPackages should be about bringing in a lisp library. 9. Eliminate the hand-maintained list of aliases. Parasites should become aliases. Everything else should be a real package.
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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
