nixos: Add all of root's channels to NIX_PATH.
This is very useful if you want to distribute channels (and thus expressions as well) in a similar fashion to Debians APT sources (or PPAs or whatnot). So, for example if you have a channel with some additional functions or packages, you simply add that channel with: sudo nix-channel --add https://example.com/my-nifty-channel foo And you can access that channel using <foo>, for example in your configuration.nix: { imports = [ <foo/modules/shiny-little-module> ]; environment.systemPackages = with import <foo/pkgs> {}; [ bar blah ]; services.udev.extraRules = import <foo/lib/udev/mkrule.nix> { kernel = "eth*"; attr.address = "00:1D:60:B9:6D:4F"; name = "my_fast_network_card"; }; } Within nixpkgs, we shouldn't have <nixos> used anywhere anymore, so we shouldn't get into conflicts.
