# How to employ Nix to compose/deploy the build environment: # # 1. Get derivation path: # # $ STOREDRVPATH=$(nix-instantiate --no-build-output --cores 4 -E 'import ./shell.nix { closure-generation-mode = true; repo-commit-id="commit-id"; repo-commit-sha256="nix-hash"; }') # # 2. Export closure on the source host: # # $ nix-store --export $(nix-store --query --requisites --include-outputs ${STOREDRVPATH}) > ~/barrelfish.closure # # 3. Import closure on the target host (and transfer the value of STOREDRVPATH): # # $ nix-store --import barrelfish.closure # # 4. Enter shell : # # $ nix-shell ${STOREDRVPATH} { nixpkgs ? import {} , ghc-version ? "ghc801" , closure-generation-mode ? false , propagate-deps ? closure-generation-mode , use-repo-source ? closure-generation-mode , repo-url ? "" , repo-commit-id ? "" , repo-commit-sha256 ? "" }: let inherit (nixpkgs) pkgs; f = import ./.; # your default.nix in pkgs.callPackage f { haskell = pkgs.haskell; inherit ghc-version; inherit propagate-deps use-repo-source repo-url repo-commit-id repo-commit-sha256; }
