Technically, racket compiles and packages too, but it doesn't pass all tests yet, so the build fails. gcc7Stdenv is GCC 7 with the MacOS-specific adaptations retained. Building on MacOS with that works, but we should be using clang. I'm hoping that the next person wanting to override the compiler version in some other derivation sees that attribute and doesn't inadvertently break a MacOS build again.
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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
