One of my biggest wishes for Nix/NixOS, is the ability to build packages from upstream tarballs which contain a default.nix file. I think that would make a great argument for winning people over to the Nix-side: With this small default.nix file in your source tree you'll be able to reproduce your development setup on any machine. And further, users can install your package simply by adding this to their config: environment.systemPackages = [ ... ] ++ (remotePackages [ "http://project/source.tar.gz"; ]) I don't know if this is a pipe dream :-) I guess this is the issue to discuss: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/13 - Bjørn _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
