[Nix-dev] Testing with nixpkgs and nixos for a degree thesis

[Luigi Viscardi]

Hi, 


I am Luigi Viscardi I am developing a degree thesis in Computer Science at the University of Milan. 
At this link you can see the thesis proposal, carried out under the project "Cloudbiolinux" 


https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cloudbiolinux/xpEWSS6iC54/4qSt30UB56oJ 


A part of this work is to compare different solutions to the problems of "versioning" and "reproducibility". 
To do this, I did some testing with the package "nixpkgs" and others in the "nixos" environment, 
to understand how they work and what are their potential. 
Some of these tests have been completed successfully, but some others have failed. 


On the attachment you can see the tests, the results and some comments. 
Could you give me a help to try to solve the problems occurring? 


Thanks for any suggestions,

Luigi Viscardi
