And by the way, I do generate a system image for my notebook using NixPkgs and hand-written activation scripts, and it gives a large part of NixOS benefits (it is easy to do rollbacks when you never overwrite stuff anyway). >Most likely you would have a fork of nixpkgs or an overlay that contains >your kernel patches and also contain a release.nix to generate the whole >system.

I would say that it is very likely that you can have your kernel build be a «yet another kernel config» in NixPkgs. Not sure about zfs and spl patches, but also may be possible to do this inside nixpkgs (or maybe with minimal overrides). For the system image generation code it seems more reasonable to have your own repository. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
