This reverts commit 0b124c1e91. We
should really stop adding things that are not packages to
all-packages.nix. For example, having nixos-rebuild.nix in
all-packages.nix causes 'nix-env -qa' to evaluate a NixOS
configuration, which obviously is not good for performance. (We should
probably also remove the 'nixos' attribute from all-packages.nix, but
at least that's a function so nix-env will ignore it.)
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.
