mirage/nixos

[Richard Mortier <Richard.Mortier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

have been sporadically trying to get mirage up on nixos on virtualbox, and 
being stymied by many ridiculous tool incompatibilities :/  have it in 
principle but hit an odd opam error when installing the ocamlfind package:

configure: cannot determine ocaml's standard library directory

if anyone's any suggestions, let me know -- where i'd got to so far is 
encapsulated in a Makefile at <https://github.com/mor1/mirage-nixos> 

however, after brief interaction on irc #nixos, i'm now trying to get nixops 
working -- this is their cloud deployment system that just got released to 
v1.0. it supports (i think) command line generation of images for virtualbox 
(local testing) and ec2 (deployment) from a single config file:

<http://lists.science.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2013-June/011363.html>

have hit a bug in a package file (issue filed) which is blocking me right now, 
but will hopefully get through that soon. though this was probably a thing that 
would be useful to let people know about though.

Cheers,
