This is a bit more involved, because first of all, the tests aren't distributed in the release tarball and second the test suite currently doesn't work but there are fixes for it that get released in the next upstream patch, so we cherry-pick the relevant commits as patches. We now also switch to fetching the tarball directly from their GitLab instance, because - as mentioned - it contains the tests and also contains the icon.index file, which we already had included as a patch and we can now drop it. The URLs to the cherry-picked upstream commits are the following: |

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.
