The commit 3cc1125595 adds a `grantpt`
call on the builder pseudo terminal fd. This call is actually only
required for MacOS, but it however requires a RW access to /dev/pts
which is only RO bindmounted in the Bazel Linux sandbox. So, Nix can
not be actually run in the Bazel Linux sandbox for unneeded reasons.
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
https://nixos.org/nix/manual.
