Our coreutils now uses single-binary-build mode where, by default, simple shebang scripts are used for all the binaries. That doesn't work e.g. with the Linux unpacker which only handles standard binaries and symlinks. Let's use the symlinked mode instead for boostrapping. This does NOT change any stdenv hashes. I only tested the case most important to me: $ nix-build pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A stdenvBootstrapTools.x86_64-linux.test
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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
