All hail Meson! One serious issue is that building docs does not work. We patch gobject-introspection to use absolute paths for shared libraries in GIR files. Building the NetworkManager docs relies on the produced introspection data but since the library is not yet installed at the time the docs are generated, the build will fail. It works in Autotools for some reason; they probably use the pregenerated GIRs from the tarball. Disabling the docs completely is not possible at the moment either, since nmc [depends on them][1]. I have decided to fix this by pointing the installed location to the one in the build directory using libredirect. Unfortunately, we cannot just set the environment variables directly, since the build system runs the documentation generator in a clean environment. I have also added man, doc and devdoc outputs so the generated files have somewhere to go. Secondly, since Nix store is immutable, we also cannot use the package prefix for configuration and mutable state data. At the same time, we cannot write to the appropriate global directories during build. Autotools allowed to change this in installFlags but Meson lacks similar mechanism so we need to patch the build files. Finally, I also removed the at_console patch since the permission has been removed in 0.9.10. [1]: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796755 |

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.
