Eeek, I may have inadvertently offended. Apologies. I actually think nix packages are quite reasonable (not that archive formats are very interesting or exciting), and am considering adding as an alternative payload format (like cpio/tar) to RPM. BTW, the crucial issue for adding what Nix uses as a payload format to RPM will be whether hardlinks precede (as cpio does) or follow (as tar does) the header in the archive that is attached to the content that is to be written to disk. Is the nix paylod more like cpio or tar wrto storing hardlinks in an archive? 73 de Jeff _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
