Repositories in Nix - Nix is a tool for build and deployment, it does not enforce any particular repository format. A repository of packages is the main usage for Nix, but not the only possibility. It's more like a consequence due to the need of organizing packages. + Nix is a tool for build and deployment, it does not enforce any particular repository format. A repository of packages, like for example nixpkgs, is the main usage for Nix, but not the only possibility. It's more like a consequence due to the need of organizing packages. Nix is a language, and it is powerful enough to let you choose the format of your own repository. In this sense, it is not declarative, but functional.
