Nix Packages collection & NixOS
407db7b019
In the previous commit, we added a setup hook to docbook dtd and xsl packages, that adds derivation’s catalog file to an environment variable. That should, in theory, remove the need for declaring their catalogs manually. Unfortunately, xmlcatalog utility expects exactly one catalog file, completely disregarding the environment variable in non-interactive context. In the same spirit, the design of gtk-doc m4 files only admits a single catalog file, resulting in another ugly hack. |

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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
