Peter Simons a7840a9ce8 doc: generate haskell-users-guide.xml from Markdown input via Pandoc Editing Docbook is no fun, IMHO, so I'd rather store the Haskell documentation in Markdown format and use Pandoc to convert that into Docbook as part of the build process.		2015-09-30 17:24:28 +02:00

README.md

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.
