Start from Nix! Nix is all about `derivation` which run a script and saves its output under /nix/store/xxxxx...zzzzzz. It automatically runs other referenced `derivations` and saves them accordingly. So you can build a file, a directory, a python environment, or an entire operating system (a directory with root dir, initrd, linux kernel - all produced by their `derivations`) :D _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
