[Nix-dev] Has someone a working setup for Kernel development with NixOS?

[Matthias Beyer]

Hi there,

so I'm sending a PING on this because nobody responded. This will be 
my only PING (as I'm really interested in doing this) and I will not 
send any further PINGs on this, as it might be too much noise for some 
people in here.
