/etc/hostname is the file used by hostnamectl(1) and the org.freedesktop.hostname1 dbus service (both provided by systemd) to get the "static hostname". Better provide it so that users of those tools/services get a proper hostname. An example of an issue created by the lack of /etc/hostname is that the bluetooth stack on NixOS identifies itself to peers as "BlueZ $VERSION" instead of the hostname. References: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/hostname.html Changes v1 -> v2: * ensure /etc/hostname ends with a newline
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.
