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

vmTools: Fix BusyBox runtime error in initrd
With the recent update of BusyBox to version 1.29.0 in
d6aa506e3b there is now a new dependency
on libresolv.

This now throws a runtime error when executing ash, eg. whenever we do
something like this:

nix-build -E 'with import ./. {}; vmTools.runInLinuxVM hello'

The resulting error will be:

  .../ash: error while loading shared libraries: libresolv.so.2: cannot
           open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried to override BusyBox with enableStatic, but that still requires
parts of glibc:

  Static linking against glibc, can't use --gc-sections
  Trying libraries: crypt m resolv
   Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
   Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
   Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
   Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
   Library resolv is needed, can't exclude it (yet)
  Final link with: m resolv

In the long term maybe switching to a more minimal C library such as
musl would make more sense, but for now I just added libresolv.so to the
initrd which fixes the runtime error.

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.
