Eelco Dolstra 7959354379 * Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.2.52. The main advantage of 4.2 is that 
it automatically removes log files when they are no longer needed.

  *** IMPORTANT ***

  If you have an existing Nix installation, you must checkpoint the
  Nix database to prevent recent transactions from being undone.  Do
  the following:

  - optional: make a backup of $prefix/var/nix/db.

  - run `db_checkpoint' from Berkeley DB 4.1:
  
    $ db_checkpoint -h $prefix/var/nix/db -1

  - optional (?): run `db_recover' from Berkeley DB 4.1:

    $ db_recover -h $prefix/var/nix/db

  - remove $prefix/var/nix/db/log* and $prefix/var/nix/db/__db*

README 

Overview
========

Nix is a package manager, deployment system, and component glue
mechanism.


Prerequisites
=============

* Berkeley DB 4.0.14
* CWI ATerm 2.0


Installation
============

* When building from the Subversion repository, first do:

    autoreconf -i

* To build, do:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

  Note that this will install to /nix, which is the default prefix.
  You can specify another prefix, but this is not recommended if you
  want to use prebuilt packages from other sources.


Usage
=====
