You can get the reproducibility resolved. But when I tried nix I didn’t found a way to save the source code easily in my project. Similar to the vendor directory in Go there should be a way to backup the source since the source can go away any time.



What do you mean? Just use a git repository as a source, but you may as well create a hashed folder containing your source files, but that is not the primary function of nix.


I mean so I can reproduce it in 10+ years where many git repos don’t exist anymore. Go can keep checksumed copies of any code it uses to compile. I’d like to see this in Nix as well.
