	unpack-channel.nix fails if the tarball contains a directory named the same as the channel: mv: cannot move 'nixpkgs' to a subdirectory of itself, '.../nixpkgs' This commit fixes that by not moving the directory if it already has the correct name.
2015-03-24	Don't rely on __noChroot for corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra
	This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is enabled. Instead, add Nix's store path as a dependency. This ensures that its closure is present in the chroot.

2012-08-01	nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels	Eelco Dolstra
	Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file <channel-url>/binary-cache-url. The channel unpacker puts these in its "binary-caches" subdirectory. Thus, the URLS of the binary caches for the channels added by root appear in /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*. The binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of binary caches.

2012-08-01	Inline unpack-channel.sh	Eelco Dolstra

2012-05-09	Disable building in chroot for Nix's corepkgs	Eelco Dolstra
	The dependencies of the corepkgs are not necessarily in the chroot (or in the Nix store), so don't build them in a chroot.

2012-04-14	If the (redirected) channel URL contains a version number, use it	Eelco Dolstra

2012-04-14	nix-channel improvements	Eelco Dolstra
	"nix-channel --add" now accepts a second argument: the channel name. This allows channels to have a nicer name than (say) nixpkgs_unstable. If no name is given, it defaults to the last component of the URL (with "-unstable" or "-stable" removed). Also, channels are now stored in a profile (/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER/channels). One advantage of this is that it allows rollbacks (e.g. if "nix-channel --update" gives an undesirable update).
