hey, sorry that i didn't write back right away, but i felt it wasn't the right time to do so.
i got some news, that is: nix-assistant! see details here: http://blog.lastlog.de/posts/nix-assistant/ if you find this stuff cool, you can use the donation option at the end of the article (link above). seems writing documentation for nix isn't such a good way to get funding for nix, because the project itself is still finding a proper stand. the nixos foundation is a good start and therefore the nix project is heading in the right direction! hf, qknight On 04.06.2015 03:35, Patrick Wheeler wrote: >> Yeah I would do that too.
