Ensure that archive members are added in sorted order with a fixed mtime. This allows `nix-build --check` to succeed (when building a tarball of a simple system configuration). We also remove env-vars which doesn't appear to do much apart from capture a bunch of store paths we probably don't want. This is an alternative to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/2281/commits/4b78a5b5fb8584347999832b3c67d1276488140b
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.
