apt-get install devscripts on the ubuntu system I use to explore nix. I have not install nixos yet: I need a pretty bleeding edge developer machine but would really love the option to step back from the edge if something goes wrong... which is the reason for looking into nixos (and the updater script I have been hacking on the last couple of days). > I found its part of devscripts (debian) which depends on perl-po4a which > is non trivial to package because you have to tweak the installation > path. Going by the description provided in debian/control the only interesting thing in devscripts for me is the uscan utility. That is a perl script, so copying it over should be enough. The script uses Devscripts/Versort (same source package) as well as Dpkg/Version.pm, Dpkg/ErrorHandling.pm and Dpkg/Gettext from the debian package libdpkg-perl -- which is build as part of the dpkg sources and thus already in nixpkgs AFAICT... need to check whether perl is able to pick up the relevant files though:-) Additional runtime dependencies seem to be: libcrypt-ssleay-perl, libwww-perl, unzip, lzma, xz-utils (note: These are debian packages, I have not checked for the nix derivations yet). I am rather tempted to package up pkgupdater, incl. a copy of the files it needs from devscripts. Copyright of those files is GPLv2 or later (just like the one I put on my script right now;-), so that should be OK. Hmmm. I think it is now high time to set up a nixos instance to play in:-) Best Regards, Tobias _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
