Nix Packages collection & NixOS
c0cf19608f
Currently, `aspell` checks the active profiles for dictionaries. While this may be convenient, it does not work with `nix-shell` and it doesn't allow any isolation. This commit adds the possibility to use composition by creating a derivation with `symlinkJoin` that contains all the chosen dictionaries, and another derivation that wraps the executables linking to the dictionaries. Nix example: my_aspell = aspellWithDicts(ps: with ps; [ en nl ]) `nix-shell` example: nix-shell -p 'aspellWithDicts(ps: with ps; [ en nl ])' |

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.
