Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting , Wednesday, October 19, 2022 - NixOS: Reproducible Builds and Deployments

When: October 19, 2022 7:00PM EDT (6:30PM for Q&A)

Topic:  NixOS: Reproducible Builds and Deployments

Speaker: Benjamin P. Kallus

Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org

Live stream: https://youtu.be/Tgnfbsohk04

Summary:

Nix provides a complete and consistent development environment

Abstract:

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).

You will no longer have to hear: But it works on my machine!
