Eelco Dolstra 154244adc6 nix: New installables syntax
The general syntax for an installable is now
<flakeref>:<attrpath>. The attrpath is relative to the flake's
'provides.packages' or 'provides' if the former doesn't yield a
result. E.g.

  $ nix build nixpkgs:hello

is equivalent to

  $ nix build nixpkgs:packages.hello

Also, '<flakeref>:' can be omitted, in which case it defaults to
'nixpkgs', e.g.

  $ nix build hello

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
