From 2cd7c1f19888ae73bf7ef0f41a45680cfb86334a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 17:29:08 +0200 Subject: Unify NixOS and Nixpkgs channel structure This is primarily to ensure that -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz and -I nixpkgs=https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-unstable.tar.gz and -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz behave consistently. It also allows installing packages via "nix-env -iA nixos." rather than "nixos.pkgs.". It would be even better to allow "nixpkgs.", but that requires a change to nix-channel. Fixes #7659. --- nixos/doc/manual/configuration/ad-hoc-packages.xml | 2 +- nixos/doc/manual/configuration/declarative-packages.xml | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'nixos/doc/manual/configuration') diff --git a/nixos/doc/manual/configuration/ad-hoc-packages.xml b/nixos/doc/manual/configuration/ad-hoc-packages.xml index e237e20c4fff..a147291c4f3d 100644 --- a/nixos/doc/manual/configuration/ad-hoc-packages.xml +++ b/nixos/doc/manual/configuration/ad-hoc-packages.xml @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ uninstall packages from the command line.
