Somebody does not like merges because it makes the history "less clean". However, just today, I encountered a case where the merge was needed for a revert. The good thing about the green merge button is that: 1) It retains a message about the PR. So you have information if you need to do a revert.

Re: [Nix-dev] Making Nix use pivot_root in addition to chroot

Not a nix dev, but I think by adding an option to nix.conf to use pivot_root makes the patch unobtrusive and easy to merge. On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 12:24 PM, Harald van Dijk wrote: > Hello, > > I've recently been trying to use Nix in a somewhat different way than > NixOS, and the builders I've go

Re: [Nix-dev] Cannot import scipy

First of all, nix-env -i env-scipy installs an environment, that you must load with load-env-scipy. Second, you better add python to the buildInputs. On Sat, Dec 6, 2014 at 4:18 PM, Tom Dimiduk wrote: > I am running nixos-unstable, and having trouble getting scipy to import. > > I attempted to f

Re: [Nix-dev] batti not showing icons in tray

I don't use such trays, but if it's a gtk socket, I fear it's the panel that needs to find the icon because the applet is getting embedded. A wild guess is to try installing batti (try nix-env or systemPackages). On Sun, Dec 7, 2014 at 1:04 AM, Richard Wallace wrote: > Hi all, > > I use a minima

I get an empty response from the server from those urls. Nix is currently re-packaging python, haskell, nodejs packages etc. So I'm sure nix would do the job for erlang too, without the need to roll your own package manager. On Wed, Dec 31, 2014 at 3:29 AM, Eric des Courtis < eric.des.cour...@gma
