A few notes: * The `echo hi` is needed to make sure that a file that can be read by `nix log` is properly created (i.e. some output is needed). This is known and to be fixed in #6051. * We explicitly ignore the floating-CA case here: the `$out` of `input3` depends on `$out` of `input2`. This means that there are actually two derivations - I assume that this is because at eval time (i.e. `nix-instantiate -A`) the hash of `input2` isn't known yet and the other .drv is created as soon as `input2` was built. This is another issue on its own, so we ignore the case here explicitly. |

Nix
Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. Please refer to the Nix manual for more details.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
