Adds a script to help automatically upgrading packages: this one can patch name/version attributes like: version = "50.1.0"; name = "bc-1.06"; ... to the given version, and updates the sha256 hash to match. Usage is: update-source-version <attr> <new-version> [<new-source-hash>] where: - attr is the attribute path of the package - new-version is the version string to be patched in - new-source-hash is the optional sha256/etc. hash of the source. If not given, the script will automatically calculate it. This is added to a subdirectory where other useful scripts can be added in the future, like figuring out the newest version from a git repo or GitHub releases etc. |

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.
