Well, nixpart in the current version is more of a hack (it's an under- statement - there's heavy monkey-patching involved) rather than a sane implementation, and still relies on Kickstart syntax. However, for version 1.0 I intend to use a native Nix syntax for specifying the partition layout and use blivets device tree directly rather involving pykickstart _at_ all. i've scheduled version 1.0 of nixpart (and nixos-assimilate) for NixOS 14.10, so i'm going to pick up my (not yet pushed) branches in the next few days. The reason why blivet in nixpkgs is at 0.17 at the moment is that at least right now it's solely used by nixpart. And i've already created a "nixpart0" a while ago in order to be prepared for the transition in NixOps (so that older builds of NixOps won't fail horribly with updated nixpart and/or dependencies). > Notably there's no listed maintainer for the blivet package. Probably should have added myself to the list of maintainers back then. a! -- aszlig
