Currently, 'nix-daemon --stdio' is always failing for me, due to the splice call always failing with (on a 32-bit host): splice(0, NULL, 3, NULL, 4294967295, SPLICE_F_MOVE) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) With a bit of ftracing (and luck) the problem seems to be that splice() always fails with EINVAL if the len cast as ssize_t is negative: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/read_write.c?v=4.4#L384 So use SSIZE_MAX instead of SIZE_MAX.
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of it's purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
