sharing package directories (i.e., the result of building a Nix descriptor). `nix-pull-prebuilts' obtains a list of all known prebuilts by consulting the paths and URLs specified in $prefix/etc/nix/prebuilts.conf. The mappings ($pkghash, $prebuilthash) and ($prebuilthash, $location) are registered with Nix so that it can use the prebuilt with hash $prebuilthash when installing a package with hash $pkghash by downloading and unpacking $location. `nix-push-prebuilts' creates prebuilts for all packages for which no prebuilt is known to exist. It can then optionally upload these to the network through rsync. `nix-[pull|push]-prebuilts' just provide a policy. Nix provides the mechanism through the `nix [export|regprebuilt|regurl]' commands. |

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 ===== TODO
