Nix Packages collection & NixOS

- Fix --no-bootloader which didn't do what it advertised - Hardcode nixbld GID so that systems which do not have a nixbld user can still run nixos-install (only with --closure since they can't build anything) - Cleanup: get rid of NIX_CONF_DIR(=/tmp)/nix.conf and pass arguments instead - Cleanup: don't assume that the target system has '<nixpkgs/nixos>' or '<nixos-config>' to see if config.users.mutableUsers. Instead check if /var/setuid-wrappers/passwd is there Installing NixOS now works from a Ubuntu host (using --closure). nix-build -A tests.installer.simple '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' succeeds ✓ |

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.
