we'd like a bit more of the convenience of mksquashfs (never thought I'd say _that_) for jffs2, in particular not having to copy all the desired store paths into a single directory just so we can create an image from them
Liminix
A Nix-based system for configuring consumer wifi routers or IoT device devices, of the kind that OpenWrt or DD-WRT or Gargoyle or Tomato run on. It's a reboot/restart/rewrite of NixWRT.
This is not NixOS-on-your-router: it's aimed at devices that are underpowered for the full NixOS experience. It uses busybox tools, musl instead of GNU libc, and s6-rc instead of systemd.
The Liminix name comes from Liminis, in Latin the genitive declension of "limen", or "of the threshold". Your router stands at the threshold of your (online) home and everything you send to/receive from the outside word goes across it.
What about NixWRT?
This is an in-progress rewrite of NixWRT, incorporating Lessons Learned.
Documentation
Documentation is in the doc directory. You can build it by running
nix-shell -p sphinx --run "make -C doc html"
