6.4 had a compile error: ``` scan.l:136:7: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘__extension__’ char *strndup(const char *s, size_t n); ^ ``` This is caused by the standard library strndup() now living in string.h and conflicting with another strndup() declared in scan.l. Version 6.9 fixes this. This also removes the need for the boolean patch that we previously had. |

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.
