Nicolas B. Pierron c231506b5a Merge pull request #5362 from nbp/update-channels Add a script to add git branches for each channel. To create / update references to remote / local channels, you have to run `./maintainers/scripts/update-channel-branches.sh` while you are at the top-level of nixpkgs work directory. To make this convenient for Nixpkgs / NixOS developer, one can run the following command: ``` $ git config --add alias.fetch-channels '!sh -c "$(git rev-parse --show-cdup)maintainers/scripts/update-channel-branches.sh"' ``` Which will register the alias fetch-channels such that the script can used from sub-directory of nixpkgs by running `git fetch-channels`.		2014-12-20 16:49:18 -08:00

README

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at

    https://nixos.org/nix/download.html

When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:

    nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux

When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
