No it uses source deployment, although it's possible to use binaries as well.

NixOS puts all the build packages in separate folder and does not use standard /usr /lib /lib etc. folders, but one is assured that build deps are always correct, as well as ability to e.g. have multiple versions of some libs, atomic updates, easy to rollback to some previous 'generation'...see http://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-0.11/manual/#sec-profiles

It sounds intriguing, but I have no time to look into it. Best wishes, Taco
