Instead of a root tarball, you will find a NAR archive. You will need nix to
install that into your nix store, that must sit in /nix.

If some can tell the mechanisms to put the tarballs downloadable in hydra, I can try to
make them available. I guess some special files in a special directory of the
output store path would do the trick for hydra to show a download link.

(I'll investigate a bit)
