Eelco Dolstra 2cd7c1f198 Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure
This is primarily to ensure that

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz

and

  -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

behave consistently.

It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos.<pkg>"
rather than "nixos.pkgs.<pkg>". It would be even better to allow
"nixpkgs.<pkg>", but that requires a change to nix-channel.

Fixes #7659.

Build Status Issue Stats Issue Stats

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-14.12 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
