"platforms.gnu" has been linux-only since at least 17.03: $ nix eval -f channel:nixos-17.03 lib.platforms.gnu [ "i686-linux" "x86_64-linux" "armv5tel-linux" "armv6l-linux" "armv7l-linux" "aarch64-linux" "mips64el-linux" ] Unlike platforms.linux, platforms.gnu indicates "must use glibc" which for the most part is not intended. Replacing platforms.gnu with platforms.linux would be the same "today" but let's err on preserving existing behavior and be optimistic about platforms these packages work on. |

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-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.
