+The paper “Efficient Upgrading in a Purely Functional Component Deployment Model” has been accepted at [CBSE 2005](https://web.archive.org/web/20090712101213/https://www.sei.cmu.edu/pacc/CBSE2005/). It describes how we can deploy updates to Nix packages efficiently, even if “fundamental” packages like Glibc are updated (which cause a rebuild of all dependent packages), by deploying binary patches between components in the Nix store. Includes techniques such as patch chaining and computing deltas between archive files.

The result is that all advantages that Nix offers to software deployment also extend to service deployment, such as the ability to easily have multiple configuration side by side, to roll back configurations, and to identify the precise dependencies of a configuration.

+Eelco Dolstra presented the paper [“Maximal Laziness — An Efficient Interpretation Technique for Purely Functional DSLs”](https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/laziness-ldta2008-final.pdf) at [8th Workshop on Language Description, Tools and Applications (LDTA 2008)](https://web.archive.org/web/20090716235453/http://ldta2008.inf.elte.hu/). It’s about caching of evaluation results in the Nix expression evaluator as a technique to make a simple term-rewriting evaluator efficient. Slides are [here](https://edolstra.github.io/talks/ldta-apr-2008.pdf).

+The Nix website has moved to [nixos.org](/) (hosted at [TU Delft](http://www.tudelft.nl/)). The Subversion repositories have moved to [svn.nixos.org](http://svn.nixos.org/). See [this mailing list posting](https://web.archive.org/web/20120118052400/http://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2008-April/000740.html) for information about moving existing SVN working copies.

+The Nix website was down for a few days due to cooling problems in the server room causing the machine to overheat. These should be resolved now. Apologies for the inconvenience.

+The paper “NixOS: A Purely Functional Linux Distribution” (by Eelco Dolstra and Andres Löh) has been [accepted](https://web.archive.org/web/20170129015859/http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/accepted/accepted.html) for presentation at the [2008 International Conference on Functional Programming](https://web.archive.org/web/20200729214737/http://www.icfpconference.org/icfp2008/) (ICFP). It describes NixOS in much greater detail than last year’s HotOS paper, and argues why the purely functional style and features such as laziness are important for system configuration management. It also provides some measurements on the actual purity of Nix build actions. A [draft of the paper](https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/nixos-icfp2008-submitted.pdf) is available.
