The easiest way to create a Debian package is, currently, checkinstall (which depends on gettext). E.g.
apt-get install checkinstall wget http://nixos.org/releases/nix/unstable/nix-0.12pre11815.tar.gz tar xvzf nix-0.12pre11815.tar.gz cd nix-* ./configure make checkinstall -y -D make install # (32 bits) checkinstall builds the package by catching all disk writes - you can run it in user space. The 64 bits needs a hack - the arch is not installed correctly - I am testing that at this point. The current package you can download from: http://thebird.nl/debian/nix_0.12pre11815-1_i386.deb Install with dpkg -i and run the initial nix-env with the path: /nix/bin/nix-env (etc). I think we can use checkinstall to make the Debian packages in the build system. It also allows building RPMs. Downside - there is no source package (but I think we don't need those anyway outside the available tar balls).
