nix-pull
register availability of pre-built binaries (deprecated)
nix-pull
url
Description
This command and the use of manifests is deprecated. It is
better to use binary caches.
The command nix-pull obtains a list of
pre-built store paths from the URL url, and
for each of these store paths, registers a substitute derivation that
downloads and unpacks it into the Nix store. This is used to speed up
installations: if you attempt to install something that has already
been built and stored into the network cache, Nix can transparently
re-use the pre-built store paths.
The file at url must be compatible
with the files created by nix-push.
Examples
