Prototype demonstration of how a natively compiled nixpkgs-installer could be created.

We compile it with the musl-backend to create a fully static binary, that should run on any linux.

TODO:

• release.nix <- combines nix -I

• convert install script (in .tar.bz2)

  • clap ./install-nix --prefix=/nix/blah/blah
  • alternatively, dialog Where do you want to insatll nix?

    /nix/

• tests for debian / centos / etc

• Statically compile installer

  • https://github.com/emk/rust-musl-builder/blob/master/Dockerfile

• research: building installer for other mac os

• provide custom cargo index for rustPlatform in default.nix
