This allows us to find out all `live' packages on the system by
doing
nix closure $(cat /nix/var/nix/links/*.hash)
which will print out the activated configurations and all packages
referenced by them. We could then garbage collect unused packages
by deleting the difference between `nix listinst' and the set
returned by `nix closure ...'.
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.
