Provide missing command suggestions, Ubuntu style
If the user tries to run a program that doesn't exist from Bash, the program name is looked up in a database that maps to Nix package names. If it is found, we print out a message like: $ pdflatex The program ‘pdflatex’ is currently not installed. It is provided by several packages. You can install it by typing one of the following: nix-env -i tetex nix-env -i texlive-core If the environment variable $NIX_AUTO_INSTALL is set, the command is installed and executed automatically: $ hello --version The program ‘hello’ is currently not installed. It is provided by the package ‘hello’, which I will now install for you. installing `hello-2.8' hello (GNU hello) 2.8 Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ... To use this, you must currently manually put the SQLite programs database in /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite. In the future, this file should be provided as part of the NixOS channel so it gets updated automatically. To get a test version: $ curl http://nixos.org/~eelco/programs.sqlite.xz | xz -d > /var/lib/nixos/programs.sqlite
