 Robert Hensing (roberth) | I would much appreciate your feedback on https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/196: Self-describing store
This RFC proposes that stores provide a nix-store.json file declaring their properties, enabling:
- Discovery of store settings (storeDir, encoding, etc.)
- Forward compatibility through explicit feature requirements
- A unified replacement for the ad hoc nix-cache-info format
