Right now the static-bins output just crossed 100MB uncompressed, which means it now has the honor of slamming into cachix/cachix#619. (UPDATE: they kindly pushed back the size limit cachix/cachix#619 (comment), but the fragility of Nixie's current approach is still evident)
We need a simpler, more Nix-y way to retrieve files from within the derivation. My idea now that #16 has been merged, is to try and write a streamed NAR parser in Amber, which would in turn provide exact offsets to download a file from within the NAR, using minimal bandwidth (and therefore memory) to perform the lookup in the first place.
The ideal implementation would be a Jura package, which implies a couple fixes to upstream projects first:
