The nix port was used by @robbinch, but he is caught up in work lately.

I guess we need to regenerate tinc.nix. Which I assume was generated with tinc itself. @robbinch how did we do the bootstraping? Can you provide guidance?

sol commented 6 years ago

For the record, bootstrapping works like this:

  1. Get a tinc executable somehow (e.g. build with it cabal or the standard nix way, or download a binary with curl -sSL https://github.com/sol/tinc/raw/master/get-tinc.sh | bash)
  2. Then run TINC_USE_NIX=yes tinc inside this repository, which will regenerate the nix expressions
  3. Use this nix expressions to install tinc the nix way

I'm currently doing this and will push the updated expressions if everything works fine.

@seanparsons FYI.

@robinvd I think tinc is not in nixpkg anymore, which I think is the right thing for the time being.

If you want to install tinc with nix-env then run the following from within this git repository:

nix-env -i -f default.nix
