If running NixOS inside a container where the host's root-owned files and directories have been mapped to some other uid (like nobody), the ssh daemon fails to start, producing this error message: fatal: /nix/store/...-openssh-7.2p2/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable. The reason for this is that when openssh is built, we explicitly set `--with-privsep-path=$out/empty`. This commit removes that flag which causes the default directory /var/empty to be used instead. Since NixOS' activation script correctly sets up that directory, the ssh daemon now also works within containers that have a non-root-owned nix store. |

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-16.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
