Description : Purely functional package manager
A powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that
makes package management reliable and reproducible. Nix provides
atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of
multiple
versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy
setup of
build environments.
I personally use it to install software that is not part of Debian
or
software that I need in a newer version.
My packaging efforts can be found here [1].
I am looking for a sponsor.

Have you made any progress on this?
I discovered the package manager today and I think it would be
great to
have it in Debian.
Regarding getting nix included into Debian, no. First this [1] must be
solved. But the packaging itself should work, you can build a Debian
package yourself by cloning the repository [2] and following the
instructions in the README.
Thanks for the info Kai
1. I hope the PR finds a way into the upstream source code soon.
2. I dont need a deb use the package myself, installed from source
although helpful If I need to distribute with peers.
