Previously, we would only set a default value, on the theory that `boot.kernelPackages` could be used to sanely configure a custom grsec kernel. Regrettably, this is not the case and users who expect e.g., `boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest` to work will end up with a non-grsec kernel (this problem has come up twice on the bug tracker recently). With this patch, `security.grsecurity.enable = true` implies `boot.kernelPackages = linuxPackages_grsec_nixos` and any customization must be done via package override or by eschewing the module. |

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-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
