The SYSCONFDIR variable used in the Makefile servers two purposes: 1) During buildPhase, it is hardcoded into the executable as one of the locations that will be searched for the i3blocks.conf config file. We want this set to "/etc", so that "/etc/i3blocks.conf" will be automatically loaded if it exists, as specified in the manpage. 2) During installPhase, it specifies the location that the sample i3blocks.conf should be installed to. We want this to be "$out/etc". Case 2 was already handled correctly, but case 1 was not. This resulted in i3blocks instead searching for i3blocks.conf in the default value of SYSCONFDIR, which is "/usr/local/etc", a directory which generally does not exist on NixOS. This commit remedies this problem by setting SYSCONFDIR=/etc during buildPhase. A minor stylistic fix (correcting a usage of "makeFlags" to "buildFlags" in the expression) has also been applied in this commit. |

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.
