Hello everyone, I have been trying to get a cluster of computers set up running Nix and it has been working really well so far. However I am trying to do something possible a little strange and was looking for a little help or suggestions for alternative methods of accomplishing my goal.
I am trying to get a method for downloading the dependencies of a program and run it. This is similar to `nix-shell` but I want to use precompiled binaries exclusively instead of downloading a Nix expression and evaluating it. I have most of the pieces in place, I can build my program and use nix- push to generate a binary cache of the program as well as all of its dependencies. This basically leaves me with a file called hash.narinfo in my binary cache. I feel like it should be fairly easy to use that file to pull down all of the dependencies required into the nix store so that my program can run, however I can't find a way to do this. `nix-store --import` seems very close but it works on a different input format that includes all dependencies into a single file. Is there a similar command that can work with binary caches over the web? I hope my rambling made sense, and thanks for any suggestions.
