[Nix-dev] Per-user package installations

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

While going through the "Quick Start" Section of the manual, I was
surprised to see that, while `nix-channel --add' works without any
special privileges, `nix-channel --update' and `nix-env' require root
access.

Are there any plans to allow per-user channel updates and package
installations, à la 0install?  If so, are there plans to allow sharing
of channel manifests and installed packages among users of a machine?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
