The *.nix files are written in the nix +declarative language (see http://nixos.org/nix). + +There are two basic use-cases for this integration. First, a hydra instance (see +http://divine.fi.muni.cz/hydra/project/lvm2 and +http://divine.fi.muni.cz/~xrockai/lvm-testmatrix.html) builds and tests LVM in +all the configurations described in default.nix after every push to the git +repository. Second, any nix-enabled system can very closely reproduce any of +those test scenarios using the "build.sh" script and an appropriate checkout of +"nixpkgs" (cf. http://nixos.org/nixpkgs). + +(The rest of this document is TODO.)
