Re: [Nix-dev] nix on the corporate world (no direct internet access)
On our company, we're dealing a lot with nasty corp network environments, and using nix only with minor hiccups. We have the exact same problem (Corporate firewalls); but a slightly different use case, our only objective is to install a specific derivation. We first generate a binary cache and serve that `$cache_dir` with a simple static web server: $ nix-push --dest $cache_dir /nix/store/00-myPackage And on the client, we just install nix and run: $ nix-store --option extra-binary-caches https://our-server/our-path --realise /nix/store/00-myPackage $ nix-env -i /nix/store/00-myPackage We iterated a while trying different options (`nix-install-package` etc.) and found this to be most robust way. Some problems we got: * Some security devices can block big files (> 100mb), we had to split some of our larger derivations to smaller ones * nix can make hundreds of HTTP requests to the cache when realising a derivation. DOS prevention devices can interfere with that * We could only use HTTPS web servers with self-signed certificates (bec. they have no domain), but our version of nix didn't have an option to disable certificate control. We had to patch nix's source to allow that. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Re: [Nix-dev] Basic string functions in nixops
I usually check .nix files in " https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/lib"; folder when searching for basic functions. String manipulation functions are in "strings.nix". On your case, this should work: nix-repl> with (import ); concatStrings (take 16 (stringToCharacters "0123456789abcdefghijklmnop")) "0123456789abcdef" On Mon, 25 Jan 2016 at 18:16 4levels <4lev...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Nix Devs, > > I'm currently looking (again) for the basic string functions. > Use case: I need to limit a parametric string's length to maximum 16 > characters (indeed, MySql usernames cannot be longer than 16 characters). > > Any hints in the right direction to substring a string in case it is > longer than 16 chars are greatly appreciated ;-) > > Kind regards, > > Erik aka 4levels > ___ > nix-dev mailing list > nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev > ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] nixpkgs haskell system got into inconsistent state broken
Also, there is a slightly faster way to recover from that bug mentioned in Nixpkgs Manual[1], which is to just rebuild the problematic package and its dependencies.
