 dramforever | if you ship some store paths to begin with then you should ship the corresponding db | 13:18:19 |
| dramforever | either as a file or some exported textual format | 13:18:32 |
| dramforever | * either as a sqlite db file or ~~some exported textual format~~ nix-store --dump-db | 13:18:59 |

 Jens Petersen | Right now I need to rebuild the whole nix package to change /nix, so it is a bit expensive to experiment (I believe you of course) | 13:19:52 |
| dramforever | but if you somehow ship just /usr/bin/nix, in general, nix would happily do everything by itself, starting all the way from creating /nix. but in practice users might not like it if installing nix from fedora leaves nix "installed" but in a way where the daemon is not working | 13:20:39 |
| Jens Petersen | Okay I can try force removing /nix and seeing what it happens that is easy enough | 13:21:21 |
| Jens Petersen | Anyway regardless we like to own the relevant directories for rpm packaging :-) | 13:23:04 |
| Jens Petersen | * Anyway regardless indeed we like to own the relevant directories for rpm packaging :-) | 13:23:26 |
| dramforever | this is fine but going into the details of what exactly in /nix/var/nix is very suspicious | 13:23:50 |

| Jens Petersen | Okay | 13:23:59 |
| Jens Petersen | * Okay and sounds like more directories may show up anyway 🤷♂️ from what you said | 13:24:28 |
