- default coreutils is stripped of /share/ (11 -> 2 MiB) - coreutils-full retains /share/ and adds openssl for faster *sum tools - NixOS systemPackages contains coreutils-full - *Support parameter defaults are moved inside (it seemed confusing to have `? false` and "at once" with `? isLinux`) Closure considerations: + typical build-time closure will get lighter by ~9 MiB - typical closure of NixOS installation will grow by ~2 MiB, due to referring to both versions. I think it would be possible to re-use most of the utils between the two versions, but the expression would get much more complex. I considered having stdenv with minimal coreutils and the default `coreutils` attribute being full, but it turned out there were too many trivial references in nixpkgs, so it didn't seem easy to keep rebuild impact of openssl from growing significantly. |

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-18.03 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.
