populate - source code installer
populate can install sources from various locations into a directory.
Currently populate knows how to install (local) files, Git repositories, and
symlinks. Following example illustrates them all.
Example: Install some source to /var/src
----------------------------------------
First we have to create a "sentinel file" that tells populate it's okay to
install (and remove!) files from our target location:
touch /var/src/.populate
Next we'll run populate with a source specification:
populate root@localhost/var/src <<EOF
{
"mystuff": {
"type": "file",
"file": {
"path": "/path/to/mystuff-1.0"
}
},
"nixos-config": {
"type": "symlink",
"symlink": {
"target": "mystuff/configuration.nix"
}
},
"nixpkgs": {
"type": "git",
"git": {
"ref": "8bf31d7d27cae435d7c1e9e0ccb0a320b424066f",
"url": "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs"
}
}
}
EOF
