[Nix-dev] NIXPKGS environment variable in nixos-rebuild

[Sander van der Burg - EWI]

I was writing some documentation for the nixos-{build-vms,deploy-network} commands and I noticed that the 'nixos-rebuild' command uses the NIXPKGS environment variable for locating Nixpkgs. I think the NIXPKGS_ALL environment has the same purpose (which is already set by default on NixOS). Shouldn't this be changed, or is there maybe a different purpose of using a separate NIXPKGS variable?

Greetz,
