Eelco Dolstra - the Nix roadmap (NixCon 2018)

[@lancearsenault9226]

We need to make a Nix file system which builds in some of the Nix store files into kernel space. We'd a have a kernel driver that is the distro package manager. It would add some new abstractions to a file system. Is there a simple place to start, like the kernel knowing that "system" files need to be kept "Nix-consistent"? I'm sure that the ideas in Nix will take hold.

Basically you are re-inventing kconfig. I think there's some prior art within buildroot that might be worth examining.
