Hello,

I'd like some advice on the Nix port.
Much of the user inteface side of Nix is Perl scripts, is Perl known not to work with Noux at the moment, or has it just not been ported?

If Perl not available, I could just remove the Perl stuff the noux-pkg build process. The Perl stuff is just frontends, and we really don't need them to create packages, maybe if we were managing a persistant Noux setup, but that would be best done with stacked archives managed outside Noux.

I would think the other possibility is to come up with a native Nix that creates its own Noux environment for build processes.

Basically the requirements of Nix are traversing a readonly filesystem to evaulate expressions, a temporary enviroment and filesystem for building outputs, and a filesystem for storing outputs. There is also a database for storing dependency information but I think that can be overlooked for now.

A hopefully easier question is assuming I get something working in Noux right now, what is the best way to write out files generated during a Genode run?

Emery
