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

I’ve used a shared nix store between VMs in the past, until the sqlite database got corrupted… If I’d do it again, I would configure a single build VM ( nix.buildMachines ) and set nix.maxJobs to 0. That guarantees all builds are executed on this one machine. Any nix store copying after the

Re: [Nix-dev] Let's switch the default shell in Nixpks / NixOS to csh

It shouldn’t be difficult, if only... While adding support for SmartOS I’ve encountered many “autoconf” packages that claim to be shell agnostic, yet are riddled with BASH-isms. SmartOS comes with KSH installed in /bin/sh by default, that’s how I noticed. In order to make some progress and

Re: [Nix-dev] patch problem

Hoi Roelof, My guess is you didn’t read the error message. :-D Do you know about the nix-env -K option ( —keep-failed). It keeps the failed build in a folder in /tmp. There you can see that extracting cjs-2.0.0.tar.gz creates another directory where all the source files are. But your patch:
