[Nix-dev] Linking out of the store

[Pjotr Prins]

I see pkgs/servers/xmpp/openfire/3.5.2.nix does:

      rm -r $out/logs
      ln -s /var/log/openfire $out/log

I can see this can be useful. However, if one is installing nix as
non-root this will fail. Is it more logical to use something like:

      rm -r $out/logs
      ln -s /nix/log/openfire $out/log

??

Is this a bad idea?
