* checks using package providing the nix-daemon that we'll be using * made optional (unlike some other config checks) "just in case": since this requires running the new Nix on the builder, this won't work in a few (AFAIK very uncommon) situations such as cross-compiling NixOS or using `include` directives in nix.conf This does rely on Nix2 but not by the builder. Since we only offer Nix2+ in-tree this should be fine, and may otherwise be required anyway.
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-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.
