Hi. I have following GC roots: /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-140-link -> /nix/store/7krdihr333i4cl82n7c0afwgrv4k13gd-nixos-system-master-16.03pre75806.77f8f35 /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-profiles/another one try-1-link -> /nix/store/0xx3nbzplrycjfd3fv1bnniydaanpc6j-nixos-14.10pre50818.b5fe0d3

[Nix-dev] A call for hardware configurations

Garbas and I were talking about hardware at the last Berlin Nix meetup and the idea came up that the community might be ready for a collection of model specific hardware configurations. Git repositories are vastly easier to manage than wikis, so I went and created one.

Re: [Nix-dev] NixCon St. Petersburg 2016

Hi, everyone. I'm glad to hear about the conference. The city is full of beautiful attractions, conference participants will surely have great time there. ITMO university is located in city center, it must be the safest area and the closest to tourist attractions. I've been in St. Petersburg

Re: [Nix-dev] What's happening to the unstable channel?

If you go to http://howoldis.herokuapp.com/ and click the hydra link, you'll get the test results that need to pass for channel to update. But in general, lately evaluation timeouts because we have so many packages. On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 1:00 PM, Yacine Hmito wrote: >

[Nix-dev] Installing /nix on nfs-mounted volume possible?

Hi all, I would like to use nix to install software and run in on a variety of linux machines at my work. I tried installing nix to my NFS-mounted home folder as outlined here[1], but I had trouble with both proot[2] and nix-user-chroot[3], since they both mess up some permissions and break

Re: [Nix-dev] Installing /nix on nfs-mounted volume possible?

The problem with nfs nix stores is that the metadata is stored in sqlite, which can't guarantee proper locking on nfs. However, if you only write from one host, there is no problem. As for the python stuff, you can run it in a proot, or use nixos which doesn't have /usr :-) On Mon, Feb 8, 2016,
