Hi,

As the nixos-unstable channel has been stuck for many days (over a week)
without updates, I wondered whether I could use the nixpkgs-unstable
channel instead. If I remove my nixos channel and add nixpkgs one,
nixos-rebuild gives me:

error: error: file `nixpkgs/nixos' was not found in the Nix search path
(add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)

Does this mean that the nixpkgs channel does not come with NixOS stuff?

What is the proper way to mix two or more channels? Say I want packages
from nixpkgs-unstable but NixOS modules &c from nixos-unstable. What I
ultimately want is a place where I get packages that are as new as
possible without having to build any myself and nixpkgs-unstable sounded
like a good candidate.
