Hi, I have finally switched my laptop to using nix-daemon and got bitten by https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/issues/260 (and/or https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/issues/483).
To be honest, I am completely lost. Could someone please explain to me what is going on here? 1. The error that I get is this one: > error: a ‘x86_64-linux’ is required to build ‘/nix/store/cm2y0hlgv6dpcyzf022ih1b0qwh3x5n7-etc-logind.conf.drv’, but I am a ‘x86_64-darwin’ Why on Earth is Linux needed to build _config files_? Building configs is mostly echoing, right? Who exactly tells nix that `environment.etc` files require a certain platform to be built? Maybe we could fix that? 2. How is this all related to nix-daemon? `nixops/deployment.py` checks for `os.environ.get('NIX_REMOTE') != 'daemon'`, why does it do this? Is that because `NIX_BUILD_HOOK` does not work when using nix-daemon? What’s that whole story with `NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS` and ssh keys really about? Why are there no issues with ssh keys when we I do not use nix-daemon? Why copying something manually helps?
