[Nix-dev] build server
I would like to set up a nix build server, particularly for use with nixops. Is there a definitive document about how to do this, including cross-platform builds (e.g. ARM) ? Can it be done declaratively, or does one need to set environment variables ? So far I have found the following documents, each with a different way: https://nixos.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi - distcc approach https://nixos.org/wiki/Distributed_build --- ignore this, look at nix.buildMachines in NixOS Manual http://nixos.org/nix/manual/#chap-distributed-builds http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/setting-up-hydra-build-cluster-for_10.html I would really like to know the current recommended way.

Well, I got it working (no cross-build yet) using nix.buildMachines as described here: http://sandervanderburg.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/setting-up-hydra-build-cluster-for_10.html together with archive signing as described here: http://functional-orbitz.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/setting-up-nixops-on-mac-os-x-with.html I have yet to setup cross-platform builds. I know that I need to configure the cross-build capability on the build server, and tell the client that the server has it (the easy part).
