Regarding tags, maybe we could get inspiration from other distros, e.g.,
http://debtags.alioth.debian.org/cloud/ . Also, we could make them
first-class objects instead of just raw strings, as in:
tags = [ tags.network.server tags.protocol.http tags.implementedIn.c ]
This would help avoid the introduction of redundant tags (since the
definition of `tags' would need to be centralized), would allow for tag
documentation (as with `mkOption' in NixOS), and might make it possible
to directly re-use tags from other distros.
Nevertheless, for tag-based search to be efficient, it would be best to
avoid traversing the whole Nixpkgs hierarchy, which would require some
form of compilation of `meta' attributes in a compact form.
Thanks,
Ludo'.
