Work around a bug in the autoconf setup of man-db: The list of default sections does not include section 0 (zero) despite ``./configure --help`` advertising it. This causes header man pages (e. g. time.h from package posix_man_pages) to be ignored by man(1): $ file /run/current-system/sw/share/man/man0p/time.h.0p.gz /run/current-system/sw/share/man/man0p/time.h.0p.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix $ man 0p time.h No manual entry for 0p No manual entry for time.h Override the default (as defined in m4/man-arg-sections.m4) until this is fixed upstream. |

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.
