![]() This fixes the "sliding window" principle: 0. Run packages: build = native; host = foreign; target = foreign; 1. Build packages: build = native; host = native; target = foreign; 2. Vanilla packages: build = native; host = native; target = native; 3. Vanilla packages: build = native; host = native; target = native; n+3. ... Each stage's build dependencies are resolved against the previous stage, and the "foreigns" are shifted accordingly. Vanilla packages alone are built against themsevles, since there are no more "foreign"s to shift away. Before, build packages' build dependencies were resolved against themselves: 0. Run packages: build = native; host = foreign; target = foreign; 1. Build packages: build = native; host = native; target = foreign; 2. Build packages: build = native; host = native; target = foreign; n+2. ... This is wrong because that principle is violated by the target platform staying foreign. This will change the hashes of many build packages and run packages, but that is OK. This is an unavoidable cost of fixing cross compiling. The cross compilation docs have been updated to reflect this fix. |

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-16.09
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
