[Nix-dev] nix-1.7 on armv6l-linux

[Tim Barbour]

Starting from the installation image on the Wiki, I managed to get my
Raspberry Pi Model B up-to-date WRT nixos-13.10 . I then changed the channel
to nixos-14.04, updated the channel, and ran "nixos-rebuild build", resulting
in the following output:

building Nix...
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘nix-1.7’ in «unknown-file» is not supported on ‘armv6l-linux’
(use `--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘nix-1.8pre3718_51485dc’ in «unknown-file» is not supported on ‘armv6l-linux’
(use `--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
error: user-thrown exception: the package ‘nix-1.8pre3718_51485dc’ in «unknown-file» is not supported on ‘armv6l-linux’
(use `--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

which seems to be saying that nix no longer runs on armv6l-linux from 1.7
onwards.

Has anyone else tried running nixos-14.04 on ARM ?
