2008-11-18* Get rid of nix-pack-closure / nix-unpack-closure, they're redundant.Eelco Dolstra
2007-01-13* nix-pack-closure: store the top-level store paths in the closure.Eelco Dolstra
* nix-unpack-closure: extract the top-level paths from the closure and print them on stdout. This allows them to be installed, e.g., "nix-env -i $(nix-unpack-closure)". (NIX-64)

useful way to transfer the closure of a store path to another machine. These commands provide functionality previously possible through `nix-push --copy'. However, they are much more convenient in many situations (though possibly less efficient). Example: $ nix-pack-closure /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0 > svn.closure (on another machine:) $ nix-unpack-closure < svn.closure Note that Subversion is added to the store, but not installed into a user environment. One should do `nix-env -i /nix/store/hj232g1r...-subversion-1.3.0' for that. Another example: copy the application Azureus to the machine `scratchy' through ssh: $ nix-pack-closure $(which azureus) | ssh scratchy nix-unpack-closure
