Hi, Currently Mesos package is broken on nixos-unstable channel, therefore, I cannot install it on my server. Is there a way to install a previous successful build? Thanks, Rohit ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.

There's the foundation https://nixos.org/nixos/foundation.html which would be a great structure to collect and direct money. Eelco - I'm not sure where to look so I couldn't find anything about the foundation's activity. Do you keep meeting notes somewhere online? best, Tom On 7 December 2015
