It seems many projects have copies of this code-- and AFAICT all are derived from ISC's BIND[2] although it does not appear present in recent versions. This is a curious function as it is not documented nor part of any standard[1]. [1] https://www.lemoda.net/unix/base64/index.html [2] for example, glibc's copy: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=resolv/README;h=514e9bb617e710f16126c1474561965a2b35653d;hb=HEAD#l104
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.
