Re: [Nix-dev] How to use a previous build from hydra-server

You can import a package from a specific version of nixpkgs, independent of the rest of your build, though it's a bit of a manual process. First, check on Hydra which Git revision it is that you want to build (you can see this on the Inputs tab, 144d13cf2cc6de28f8abe9e9e8c98f28ccf8fc59 in this

[Nix-dev] Fundraiser?

Hi all, I've been a Nix/NixOS user for a few years now. While some parts of NixOS are moving forward rather quickly (awesome!), some of the Nix tooling is improving painfully slow (IMHO). I was wondering if any core devs have considered starting a fundraiser to possibly work full-time on some

Re: [Nix-dev] Fundraiser?

There's the foundation https://nixos.org/nixos/foundation.html which would be a great structure to collect and direct money. Eelco - I'm not sure where to look so I couldn't find anything about the foundation's activity. Do you keep meeting notes somewhere online? best, Tom On 7 December 2015

Re: [Nix-dev] Secure NixOS

Hi Seroka, just a couple of idea: (1) is really cool but could also be solved by having faster builds and binary diffs. I really liked the presentation at NixCon and think that it's a really cool hack but don't understand all of the implications. Just as an anecdote; ruby has had a release with

Coincidentally, Jonathan Fischoff (‏@jfischoff) is talking about hardening concerns on twitter, he points out that there is already discussion and work regarding that — https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/7220 — Kindest regards, ¬Σ On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 4:12 PM, wrote:

One more question. Is it possible to add two channels? Say one unstable and one previous stable channel and choose module from one of them? Thanks. Rohit On Mon, Dec 7, 2015 at 8:47 PM, rohit yadav wrote: > Hi, > > Currently Mesos package is broken on nixos-unstable

Re: [Nix-dev] How to use a previous build from hydra-server

Hi Rok, Thanks for reply. How should I fetch it? I mean how to tell the system to use that particular build? Currently, when I say nixos-rebuild {boot | switch} it assumes that that (which again I am not sure which one it refers to when I have to two channels listed) would tell it the right hash
