This cuts nixpkgs:trunk from 78K to 31K jobs by disabling builds of
{node,go,python,emacs,coq,r,ocaml,perl}Packages. Thus these are now
only built if they are dependencies of top-level packages (such as
end-user applications). I left haskellPackages because they take
typically longer to build than the others (which are mostly
interpreted languages), so disabling them would be more painful to
users.
This is a temporary measure until we have a binary cache based Hydra
running on faster hardware, necessitated by the fact that evaluations
now regularly time out after 6 hours.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
