This is the master branch of nixpkgs, initially pulled from commit 8debf2f9a63d54ae4f28994290437ba54c681c7b
The intent of this repo is to be merged onto nixpkgs master. This will also be of help for https://git.suyu.dev/BoomMicrophone/suyu-nix-test
which I will need in order for development (it will also be helpful to know what to do for setting up the environment for the master server. Currently I am focusing on this so I can actually see what is still missing)
This repo will be removed once the PR to the nixpkgs github goes through

These names are referenced by Perl variables inside the testing frameworks which don't allow chars like `-` as character inside. An exemplary expression may look like this: ``` { x11-vm = { services.xserver.enable = true; }; } ``` This expression evaluates, e.g. when running `nixos-build-vms`, but when trying to run `./result/bin/nixos-run-vms`, an error like this occurs: ``` starting VDE switch for network 1 running the VM test script error: Can't modify subtraction (-) in scalar assignment at (eval 17) line 1, at EOF Bareword "test" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 17) line 1. Can't modify subtraction (-) in scalar assignment at (eval 17) line 1, at EOF Bareword "test" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 17) line 1. vde_switch: EOF on stdin, cleaning up and exiting cleaning up ``` This can be very confusing for beginners, this change breaks evaluation if such names are used for machines. |

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 https://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.
