@coretemp I guess half of nixpkgs members do something cryptocurrency-related, so expect St.Kitts passports and BVI companies with offices in Dubai and mining pool in Canada operated from Lapland forest.

NixOS:master ← pvgoran:tomcat-clean-basedir
opened 01:23PM - 01 Aug 18 UTC
With this option enabled, before creating file/directories/symlinks in baseDir a… ccording to configuration, old occurences of them are removed.
This prevents remainders of an old configuration (libraries, webapps, you name it) from persisting after activating a new configuration.

There is also an issue/bug:
opened 07:57AM - 19 Apr 18 UTC
closed 11:05AM - 01 Jan 23 UTC
## Issue description
I have a process that creates a "clean" NixOS filesystem… tree for later usage. First, I create the minimal NixOS configuration files at $ROOT/etc/nixos, then I run:
```
nixos-install --no-bootloader --no-root-passwd --root "$ROOT"
nixos-enter --root "$ROOT" -- true
```
(Before 18.03, it worked without `nixos-enter`. I'm not very happy that now I need an additional step, and I'll probably create a separate issue about this. But I can understand that `nixos-install` creates a minimal installation and `nixos-enter` activates it.)
I expect to be able to chroot into the resulting filesystem tree and have a fully-working NixOS system. However, these steps don't create the `/tmp` directory, which prevents `nixos-rebuild` from working:
```
[root@nixos-seed:/]# nixos-rebuild dry-build
mktemp: failed to create directory via template ‘/tmp/nixos-rebuild.XXXXXX’: No such file or directory
```
### Steps to reproduce
Build the NixOS tree:
```
mkdir seed
mkdir -p seed/etc/nixos
cat >seed/etc/nixos/configuration.nix <<END
{ config, pkgs, ... }:
{
boot.loader.grub.enable = true;
boot.loader.grub.version = 2;
boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/dummy";
fileSystems."/" =
{ device = "/dev/dummy";
fsType = "ext4";
};
}
END
nixos-install --no-bootloader --no-root-passwd --root $(realpath seed)
nixos-enter --root $(realpath seed) -- true
```
Then try to work in it:
```
nixos-enter --root $(realpath seed) -- nixos-rebuild dry-build
```
