Hi Milind,
Do you want to do something like this :

http://hydra.nixos.org/build/47813/download/1/manual/#sec-sharing-packages

Using nix-store --export and nix-store --import, so that you can
install nix on machines running centos (Or any other Linux distro that
runs more current upstream packages) First and then just distribute
the application(s)?
Is that what you mean by portable applications? Are you interested in
using nix to distribute binaries in a portable way?

Sorry if I misunderstand.

Thanks,
Tony
