Silly nixpkgs mirror, totally harmless :3

The resulting image can be copied to a SD card with `dd` and is directly bootable by a suitably configured U-Boot. Though depending on the board, some extra steps are required for copying U-Boot itself to the SD card. Inside the image is a partition table, with a FAT32 /boot and a normal writable EXT4 rootfs. It's possible to directly reuse the SD image's partition layout and "install" NixOS on the same SD card by replacing the default configuration.nix and nixos-rebuild, and actually is the preferred way to use these images. To assist in this installation method, the boot scripts on the image automatically resize the rootfs partition to fit the SD card on the first boot. The SD images come in two flavors; one for the ARMv6 Raspberry Pi, and one multiplatform image for all the boards supported by the mainline kernel's multi_v7_defconfig config target. At the moment, these have been tested on: - Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB model) - NVIDIA Jetson TK1 - Linksprite pcDuino3 Nano To build, run: nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.sdImage \ -I nixos-config='<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-armv7l-multiplatform.nix>' |

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-14.12
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
