The stores in $NIX_OTHER_STORES must have the same "true" location (i.e. /nix/store), so they can be used for binary deployment. They idea is that they're NFS mounts (or similar) of the /nix/store on another machine. The NixOS installer uses it to copy stuff from the /nix/store on the installation CD (so /nix/store is bind-mounted into the target chroot). Note however that currently NFS mounts don't work due to SQLite issues. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://www.st.ewi.tudelft.nl/~dolstra/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
