When reading the `nixpkgs` version from `.version` you always have a
`\n` at the end because of the final newline.
This issue exists since b7d15ed and had to be fixed several times
according to the history of `.version`.
Furthermore @Infinisil recommended I explicitly configured
`.editorconfig` to avoid newlines in `.version`.
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-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.
