- Add a new parameter `imageType` that can specify either "efi" or "legacy" (the default which should see no change in behaviour by this patch). - EFI images get a GPT partition table (instead of msdos) with a mandatory ESP partition (so we add an assert that `partitioned` is true). - Use the partx tool from util-linux to determine exact start + size of the root partition. This is required because GPT stores a secondary partition table at the end of the disk, so we can't just have mkfs.ext4 create the filesystem until the end of the disk. - (Unrelated to any EFI changes) Since we're depending on the `-E offset=X` option to mkfs which is only supported by e2fsprogs, disallow any attempts of creating partitioned disk images where the root filesystem is not ext4. |

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-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
