NOTE: Nix overlays only works on up-to-date versions of NixOS/nixpkgs, starting from 17.03.
A nixpkgs overlay is provided to contains all of the latest rust releases.
To use the rust overlay run the ./rust-overlay-install.sh command. It will
link the current ./rust-overlay.nix into you ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays folders.
Once this is done, use nix-env -iA nixpkgs.rustChannels.nightly.rust for
example. Replace the nixpkgs. prefix with nixos. on NixOS.
- setup hydra and have to have binary channels
- make sure pinned revisions get updated automatically (if build passes we should update revisions in default.nix)
- pin to specific (working) nixpkgs revision (as we do for other sources
- servo can currently only be used with nix-shell. its build system tries to
dowload quite few things (it is doing
pip installandcargo install). it should be possible to replace that with nix - can we make this work on darwin as well?
- assign maintainers for our packages that will montior that it "always" builds
- hook it with vulnix report to monitor CVEs (once vulnix is ready, it must be ready soon :P)
