We want to encourage a brave new world of hermetic evaluation for source-level reproducibility, so flakes should not poke around in the filesystem outside of their explicit dependencies. Note that the default installation source remains impure in that it can refer to mutable flakes, so "nix build nixpkgs.hello" still works (and fetches the latest nixpkgs, unless it has been pinned by the user). A problem with pure evaluation is that builtins.currentSystem is unavailable. For the moment, I've hard-coded "x86_64-linux" in the nixpkgs flake. Eventually, "system" should be a flake function argument. |

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.
