I'm not so sure about that. I think the main cost in a nixos-rebuild evaluation is in the NixOS configuration evaluation, not in Nixpkgs. BTW, the evaluator currently still lacks a garbage collector. If we build it with libgc, it should run in a lot less memory. -- Eelco Dolstra | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
