This splits a few NixOS tests (namely Chromium, VirtualBox and the networking tests) into several subtests that are exposed via attributes. The networking tests were already split up but they didn't expose an attribute set of available tests but used a function attribute to specify the resulting test instead. A new function callSubTests in nixos/release.nix is now responsible for gathering subtests, which is also used for the installer and boot tests. The latter is now placed in a tests.boot.* namespace rather than "polluting" the tests attribute set with its subtest.
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-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
