This adds a ‘nix export’ command which hooks into nix-bundle. It can be used in a similar way as nix-bundle, with the benefit of hooking into the new “app” functionality. For instance, $ nix export nixpkgs#jq $ ./jq --help jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6] ... $ scp jq machine-without-nix: $ ssh machine-without-nix ./jq jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6] ... Note that nix-bundle currently requires Linux to run. Other exporters might not have that requirement. “exporters” are meant to be reusable, so that, other repos can implement their own bundling.
