[BLU] NixOS: Reproducible Builds and Deployments
(Wed, Oct 19, 2022) Benjamin Kallus gives an overview of NixOS and the Nix package manager.
With Nix, a build process only has access to dependencies that have been declared explicitly. So if a build succeeds, you know you've specified all necessary dependencies.
The same build process specification can be used to start a development environment (optionally augmented with additional development tools).
User group meeting of Boston Linux & UNIX on Wednesday, October 19, 2022.
