Hmm, that one still has the old bash 4.2 p49, which doesn't work for me, because my host system has newer patches and the corresponding environment crashes the nix bash [1]. I think I need at least p51. I'll try to get along with 14.04-small for now.

Is there a way to make nix download from a not fully evaluated jobset? I read somewhere on the wiki that you can, but it didn't say how.
