Several git commands are implemented as shell scripts that run awk, sed, grep and perl. There is some existing patching in the postinstall for perl to rewrite it to an absolute reference to pkgs.perl, but several other packages are both missing as a dependency and have no rewrite logic. In particular git filter-branch depends on sed and grep. Additionally, the perl logic also seds git-am, which is now a binary not a shell script anymore (see <github.com/git/git/blob/master/builtin/am.c>), so this part was obsolete. I tested this by grepping all shell scripts for the relevant commands and then comparing the diffs of the new version to what is produced in master. All changes in the scripts seem good to me. |

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-17.03
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
