- Description:
- Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats packages
like values in purely functional programming languages such as Haskell -- they
are built by functions that don't have side-effects, and they never change
after they have been built. Nix stores packages in the Nix store, usually the
directory /nix/store, where each package has its own unique subdirectory such
as
/nix/store/b6gvzjyb2pg0kjfwrjmg1vfhh54ad73z-firefox-33.1/
where b6gvzjyb2pg0... is a unique identifier for the package that captures all
its dependencies (it's a cryptographic hash of the package's build dependency
graph). This enables many powerful features.

- Experimental support
--------------------
Nix support is very much experimental on FreeBSD. The sysutils/nix port is
mainly aimed at developers, testers, and curious users. Nix should not be
considered stable yet on FreeBSD.
Creating Nix build users
------------------------
Nix build users may be created by executing the "add-nixbld-users" script
(which is located in "/usr/local/share/nix") and specifying
the desired number of build users as an argument.
For example:
/usr/local/share/nix/add-nixbld-users 4
is going to create 4 nixbld users.
See https://nixos.org/nix/manual/#ssec-multi-user for more details about
build users.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Add Nix, a purely functional package manager
Nix is a purely functional package manager. This means that it treats
packages like values in purely functional programming languages such as
Haskell -- they are built by functions that don't have side-effects,
and they never change after they have been built.
FreeBSD support in Nix is not fully complete yet. This commit only
brings the Nix package manager to the ports. Hopefully, this port will
streamline the work of bootstrapping of Nix packages on FreeBSD.
Thanks to all the kind folks who contributed to the porting efforts.
It was a fun journey.
