# The actual source pinning happens via niv in //third_party/sources

# Note that the attribute exposed by this (third_party.nixpkgs) is
# "special" in that the fixpoint used as readTree's config parameter
# in //default.nix passes this attribute as the `pkgs` argument to all
# readTree derivations.
