Nix Packages collection & NixOS
b30852ed41
Currently NixOS creates the swapfile (with the specified size) only if it doesn't already exist. Changing the swapfile size afterwards will not have any effect. This commit changes that so the swapfile will be recreated whenever swapDevices.*.size is changed (or more precisely, whenever the actual file size differs from the configured one), allowing both growing and shrinking the swapfile. The service unit has "restartIfChanged = false", so we don't have to worry about the swapfile being in use at the time this code is run (you have to reboot for swapfile changes). fallocate doesn't shrink files, use truncate for that. truncate can also be used to grow files, but it creates "holes" in the file which doesn't work with swapfiles. |

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.
