I was wondering, in building the software, how does Nix handle the location of /var? I know that software built with autotools usually allows one to change the location of the local state directory. Does Nix change this to some new location?
Handling of such things is per-package. However, generally we emphasize purity: all files created at install-time are immutable, and the rest should be per-user (probably under $HOME or /tmp). Maybe there are some exceptions, but we certainly strive to split files this way as much as possible.
