It does
$ nix-channel --update nixos
Best see the source if you want details, as it's relatively simple:
Just a heads-up that I'm working on getting this to build, if anyone
else is interested: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27194
So far, jigsaw / modularization does not seem to have required nearly
as many changes to the nix expression as I would've guessed. :)
I'm currently using a checked out version of the channels repository
as my channel. I was previously using the integrated channel and using
'system.autoUpgrade.enable = true'. I assume I can no longer use this
service for upgrades while I'm using git. Is there any way to run auto
upgrades

Hello all,
another day, another problem :/
I'm trying to figure out why a build generates different build IDs in different
contexts.
I have a nix expression and some code. If I copy that from machine A
to machine B they both give the same build hash. All's fine there.
If on machine B I run
Following the example at
http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-writing-nix-expressions to build hello
package. But `nix-build -A hello` throws error "error: cannot auto-call a
function that has an argument without a default value (‘stdenv’)"

Thanks for the suggestions.
I took away from this that it's best to not have Nix deal with the checkouts.
For now I'll keep things as separate repos, to keep things easier.
Eventually I would like to go to one pkgs tree for all repos, but
