Nix Packages collection & NixOS

Instead of using a string to describe kernel config, use a nix attribute set, then converted to a string. - allows to override the config, aka convert 'yes' into 'modules' or vice-versa - while for now merging different configs is still crude (last spec wins), at least there should be only one CONFIG_XYZ value compared to the current string config where the first defined would be used and others ignored. [initial idea by copumpkin in 2016, a major rebase to 2018 by teto] |

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-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
