This causes problems for packages built using a bootstrap stdenv,
resulting in references to /bin/sh or even bootstrap-tools. The darwin
stdenv is much stricter about what requisites/references are allowed but
using /bin/sh on linux is also undesirable.
eg. https://hydra.nixos.org/build/81754896
$ nix-build -A xz
$ head -n1 result-bin/bin/xzdiff
#!/nix/store/yvc7kmw98kq547bnqn1afgyxm8mxdwhp-bootstrap-tools/bin/sh
This reverts commit f06942327a.
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 https://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.
