These are called "bootstrap files".
@ -74,12 +75,3 @@ There are two types of bootstrap files:
The `.build` job contains `/on-server/` subdirectory with binaries to
be uploaded to `tarballs.nixos.org`.
The files are uploaded to `tarballs.nixos.org` by writers to `S3` store.
## TODOs
- `pkgs/stdenv/darwin` file layout is slightly different from
`pkgs/stdenv/linux`. Once `linux` seed update becomes a routine we can
bring `darwin` in sync if it's feasible.
- `darwin` definition of `.build` `on-server/` directory layout differs
and should be updated.
