The feature is not complete, but a single build can create more than one path in the nix store that, after the build succeeds, can be treated almost exactly as if they were built separately (e.g. they can be added separately as build inputs, one can be downloaded via a substitutor without the other, etc.). _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
