Excerpts from Peter Simons's message of Tue Jun 26 12:45:18 +0200 2012: > project's goals, policies, and procedures. Stating a vision or project goal is great. That has been lacking for nixos IMHO.
Whether new mailinglists will be created or not - will be discussed later then? Announcing a new repo is easy - have you already thought about how to run test cases (build farm?). At this point expenses are involved (IMHO). I understand that its the community who has to decide on that. New challenges I see: nixpkgs (the package collection) may provide packages for different targets in the future, eg there is http://www.android-x86.org/ etc. I don't know enough about the subject to judge it - just writing down what comes to my mind. Just thinking that 'free-nix' (whatever that will be ) may end up in different sub projects in the future. At least I would love to have similar guarantees on mobile phones as I have on my desktop pc. Another topic would be overlays. Eg for Python/Ruby/Haskell packages there exist already two implementations (mine and the one found in nixpkgs). Because there are many different topics which could be discussed - and because the community is still small I hope that whatever happens collaboration will continue to happen - nobody can afford to run a linux distribution on its own today.
