Benno Fünfstück 691f683c8c types.nix: better error message for non-paths 
This improves error messages when a set or a list is used where a path
was expected. For an example, if you used a package set (as opposed to a
single package) in systemPackages before this commit, the error was:

```
cannot coerce a list to a string, at "/home/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix":103:37
```

Now, the error message reads:

```
The option value `environment.systemPackages' in `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix' is not a list of paths.
```

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.
