Question: I have started creating BIOLOGY packages - which are to be deployed as closures on different Linux/BSD distributions (32/64 bits and perhaps even Windoze). I would like binaries automatically built and made available for download - but I don't think it belongs in the base Nix installation. Do we create a build-for-biology-release.nix in the top-level? Can I have a separate 'biology' section on the Nix site with current available binaries? Would it make sense to have several of these specialisations - another could be for 'physics' and, perhaps things like 'geo'.
I will make versions of binaries available on a mirror. The idea is that in science one needs to make installation real easy - while Nix gives us reproducability. When someone writes a paper he includes a reference to the used Nix binary. That would make it a better world. Pj.

What would be the logical place to put the packages? _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
