What's the current best-in-class approach to packaging Elixir/Erlang/BEAM applications using Nix+releases as of July 2020?

@hauleth

As mix deps.get should provide (almost) constant output I have created the derivation that fetches all dependencies via mix dips.get :

Just to connect the dots:

• hauleth has since then packaged this solution in the nix-elixir repo (see announcement and subsequent PR comment)

• nix-elixir mentioned and briefly discussed in State of the BEAM Ecosystem in Nix (from post 15 and down)

• happysalada’s RFC fixing build-mix #105002 issue (and their subsequent PRs) also mention nix-elixir, and intentions to bring it into Nixpkgs
