NixOS 90: Nix PhD Thesis Sections 2.4/2.5/2.6; Store Drvs/Deployment Models/Xparent Src-Bin Deploy
Part of a series exploring portions of Eelco Dolstra's PhD thesis ("The Purely Functional Software Model") that was the proximate genesis of Nix and NixOS. In this episode, I review Section 2.4 ("Store derivations"), Section 2.5 ("Deployment Models"), and Section 2.6 ("Transparent Source/Binary Deployment").
