The current usage technically works by putting multiple different repos in to the same git directory. However, it is very slow as Git tries very hard to find common commits between the two repositories. If the two repositories are large (like Nixpkgs and another long-running project,) it is maddeningly slow. This change busts the cache for existing deployments, but users will be promptly repaid in per-repository performance. |

Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
