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

This is a 277K (as of right now) addition that can greatly help in some last recourse scenarios. The specific rEFInd setup will not be able to boot the installer image, but this is not why it has been added. It has been added to make use of its volumes scanning capabilities to boot existing EFI images on the target computer, which is sometimes necessary with buggy EFI. While is isn't NixOS's job to fix buggy EFI, shipping this small bit with the installer will help the unlucky few. Example scenario: two wildly different EFI implementation I have encountered have fatal flaws in which they sometimes will lose all the settings, this includes boot configuration. This is compounded by the fact that the two specific and distinct implementation do not allow manually adding ESP paths from their interface. The only recourse is to let the EFI boot the default paths, EFI/boot/boot{platform}.efi, which is not a default location used by the NixOS bootloaders. rEFInd is able to scan the volumes and detect the existing efi bootloaders, and boot them successfully. |

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.
