Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package
2015-05-22 14:10:47 +01:00
manager. It is periodically built and tested by the [hydra](http://hydra.nixos.org/)
build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add
[nixpkgs-channels](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git) 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
2016-04-04 19:42:07 +01:00
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. `nixos-16.03` for the latest
2015-05-22 14:10:47 +01:00
release and `nixos-unstable` for the latest successful build of master:
```
% git remote update channels
2016-04-04 19:42:07 +01:00
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
```
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs `master`.
