There is only one Nix manual. The wiki is not an authoritative source - being a wiki, anybody can edit it, so anybody can add information that duplicates (or contradicts) the manual.

IIRC, Nix can't be included in the Debian repo because it violates the FHS (by creating a non-standard directory, /nix). -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
