There is an easier way than described on the wiki, namely by using the nixpkgs-channels repository, which contains branches corresponding to the current channel contents. For instance, to create a branch named "local" based on the latest nixos-unstable channel: $ git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git $ git remote update channels $ git checkout -b local channels/nixos-unstable and to update it: $ git remote update channels $ git merge channels/nixos-unstable # or "git rebase" See http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-getting-sources for more info. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
