Hi,

Ricardo Wurmus <rekado <at> elephly.net> skribis:

> These NIX_* variables are still in use:
>
>   NIX_AFFINITY_HACK
>   NIX_BIN_DIR
>   NIX_BUILD_CORES
>   NIX_HELD_LOCKS
>   NIX_IGNORE_SYMLINK_STORE
>   NIX_STORE
>   NIX_STORE_DIR

I think those used in the build environment, NIX_STORE and
NIX_BUILD_CORES at least, are here to stay; we could provide GUIX_
aliases though they couldn’t be relied on before some time.

Not sure about the others!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
