Nix Packages collection & NixOS
5f94d85e5e
The approach taken to add this package was to port over the definitions currently existing for HEAD, and making the necessesary changes to get this building. The Haskell package set associated with this compiler doesn't yet guarantee that all or most of the packages successfully build with this new compiler, but that will improve over time after this GHC 8.2.1 is officially released and the ecosystem catches up. |

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-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
