Hey! I would be happy to help package Nix on Fedora. I prepared a SPEC[1] some time ago.
The issue I hit was building documentation. It depends on mdBook[2]. Without documentation manual and `nix-env --help` doesn't work.

We had a plan to add support for nix to mkosi, but it has been put on ice (*), so my main motivation and use-case went away. But I prepared a package for nix, i.e. the big binary that is used to build and manage NixOS systems (**). The compilation and packaging of the program is one thing, but then some decisions need to be made about how the package is integrated with the rest of the system: nix has a whole-system mode and a per-user mode, and a bunch of different service files… Since I'm not going to use it myself, and I don't know all the details, I would love to have somebody who is interested in NixOS to help with that part. There have been a few requests for nix packaging over the years, so I hope that there might be some interest in this. Right now the package is available from copr (**), but I'd like to submit it for review with a comaintainer. I packaged lowdown (***), a required dependency. Tests are disabled because "rapidtest" dependency is not available. (*) Mkosi expects an FHS-adhereing system, and nixos is very much about not doing that, so mkosi would need to have a lot of special-casing for nixos, and it just doesn't seem worth it.
