It could also be used to implement an offline NixOS installer. I guess it
needs to run as root given that you're setting up a chroot env?

Hi,
I would like to point the people that manage the rust compiler in nixpkgs
to a discussion on the roadmap for rust [1].
They are also discussing Bazel, a build tool from google that has some
similarities to Nix.

Also see the notes that Arian took during the BoF session at FOSDEM:
We had a very spontaneous NixOS discussion panel at FOSDEM.

Hopefully we can move soonish to a setup where maintainers (who have commit
access to the NixOS repo) can trigger a build on a hydraulic setup.

First of all, you can install nix in another location, but then you won't
be able to use the binary cache anymore.

- create a union fs in /var/lib/nix/nix-root of / and /var/lib/nix/

You could try to modify nix-repl to have a "daemon" mode, that listens on a
unix socket, and implements a simple json protocol. This could also open
doors for easy evaluation of nix-lang snippets in text editors.

What would be the best way forward: to override the mesos package, or the

I'm not pretending to be a NixOps expert, but I think the approach of
generating the secret in the "deployment" machine is good enough.
You could store the private key encrypted in a git repository. Have you
seen this [1] blog post? It describes how to do this in a team.

Interesting idea.

the syntax and semantics the language.
The whole thesis is well written and approachable.
