I belive you, but just for my curiosity, what will break if we download substitute (nar, almost tar archive) and extract it not in /nix, but in /var/nix? In mean time, I took a look at your debianization. Great work. One question: * You install developer stuff (headers, pkg-config files) in nix package. It is not needed for mere user, so I believe you should make three binary packages -- nix, libnix and libnix-dev. By the way, who are users of nix development files?

The depender will break if the dependency is not at the path where it used to be at build-time (by default /nix/store/...). All software deployed by nix contains the full path to its dependencies. And all dependencies are available inside the nix-store. The idea is to rely on nothing that is outside the nix-store. For example an ldd on bash looks like this: $ ldd /nix/store/ij6wirzff9id7jr071p04w4nk6hksc3y-bash-interactive-4.4-p23/bin/bash /nix/store/ij6wirzff9id7jr071p04w4nk6hksc3y-bash-interactive-4.4-p23/bin/bash: linux-vdso.so.1 (0x7ffe1a7d5000) libreadline.so.7 => /nix/store/vvwxc17kpc39qbcz7qp7mkqa7fr0my84-readline-7.0p5/lib/libreadline.so.7 (0x7f25b0593000) libhistory.so.7 => /nix/store/vvwxc17kpc39qbcz7qp7mkqa7fr0my84-readline-7.0p5/lib/libhistory.so.7 (0x7f25b0389000) libncursesw.so.6 => /nix/store/2lbhgxlrhgnij2c3bm719xidymmhp0m0-ncurses-6.1-20181027/lib/libncursesw.so.6 (0x7f25b011a000) libdl.so.2 => /nix/store/7gx4kiv5m0i7d7qkixq2cwzbr10lvxwc-glibc-2.27/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x7f25aff16000) libc.so.6 => /nix/store/7gx4kiv5m0i7d7qkixq2cwzbr10lvxwc-glibc-2.27/lib/libc.so.6 (0x7f25afb62000) /nix/store/7gx4kiv5m0i7d7qkixq2cobra10lvxwc-glibc-2.27/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /nix/store/7gx4kiv5m0i7d7qkixq2cwzbr10lvxwc-glibc-2.27/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x7f25b07def000) Regards, Kai

Closes #919220. The package is marked as "UNRELEASED" -- ie, marked as not meant for uploading. Generally, RFS bugs are requests for actual uploads, there's no need to file a bug if all you want is review of a WIP state. I guess the marking was left accidentally... The package fails to build: . In file included from /<>/librumur/src/parse.cc:10: /<>/librumur/include/rumur/scanner.h:6:12: fatal error: FlexLexer.h: No such file or directory #include ` This looks like missing build-dependency on libfl-dev.
