@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforeverif you ship some store paths to begin with then you should ship the corresponding db13:18:19
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforevereither as a file or some exported textual format13:18:32
@dramforever:matrix.orgdramforever * either as a sqlite db file or ~~some exported textual format~~ nix-store --dump-db 13:18:59

@juhp:matrix.orgJens PetersenRight 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:matrix.orgdramforever 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
@juhp:matrix.orgJens PetersenOkay I can try force removing /nix and seeing what it happens that is easy enough13:21:21
@juhp:matrix.orgJens PetersenAnyway regardless we like to own the relevant directories for rpm packaging :-)13:23:04
