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

My first attempt to do this was to just use a conditional <refsection/> in order to not create exact references in the manpage but create the reference in the HTML manual, as suggested by @edolstra on IRC. Later I went on to use <olink/> to reference sections of the manual, but in order to do that, we need to overhaul how we generate the manual and manpages. So, that's where we are now: There is a new derivation called "manual-olinkdb", which is the olinkdb for the HTML manual, which in turn creates the olinkdb.xml file and the manual.db. The former contains the targetdoc references and the latter the specific targetptr elements. The reason why I included the olinkdb.xml verbatim is that first of all the DTD is dependent on the Docbook XSL sources and the references within the olinkdb.xml entities are relative to the current directory. So using a store path for that would end up searching for the manual.db directly in /nix/store/manual.db. Unfortunately, the <olinks/> that end up in the output file are relative, so for example if you're clicking on one of these within the PDF, the URL is searched in the current directory. However, the sections from the olink's text are still valid, so we could use an alternative URL for that in the future. The manual doesn't contain any links, so even referencing the relative URL shouldn't do any harm. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org> Cc: @edolstra |

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.
