Another thing requested by @edolstra in [1]: We should not provide a different /bin/sh in the chroot, that's just asking for confusion and random shell script breakage. It should be the same shell (i.e. bash) as in a regular environment. While I personally would even go as far to even have a very restricted shell that is not even a shell and basically *only* allows "/bin/sh -c" with only *very* minimal parsing of shell syntax, I do agree that people expect /bin/sh to be bash (or the one configured by environment.binsh) on NixOS. So this should make both others and me happy in that I could just use confinement.binSh = "${pkgs.dash}/bin/dash" for the services I confine.

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-18.09
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
