Install Nix [0], get a copy of Nixpkgs(-libre) [1], cd to the directory
that contains the recipe, and type (assuming the recipe is in ‘release.nix’):

  $ nix-build -A JOB release.nix

where JOB may be ‘tarball’, ‘release’, ‘manual’, etc.

The ‘nixpkgs ? ../../nixpkgs’ at the beginning of the recipe means that,
unless otherwise specified, the recipe will look for the Nixpkgs tree
under ../../nixpkgs.

Please report back and I’ll look into it as time permits.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
