I haven't looked closely. The issue is here: http://bugs.strategoxt.org/browse/NIXPKGS-94 The patch describes: + /* POSIX 200x added two interfaces to set file timestamps with +- nanosecond resolution. */ ++ nanosecond resolution. We provide a fallback for ENOSYS (for ++ example, compiling against Linux 2.6.25 kernel headers and glibc ++ 2.7, but running on Linux 2.6.18 kernel). */ Pj. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
