This series of patches is a redeem of my sins. As you may guess, I have more, but they are either dirty or not working as expected. I'm kind of confused with gist vs. pull request controversy. I did carefully read the thread about moving to github, but still don't get this nonlinear history/merge problem. No offense, but I feel that gists somehow diminish contributions (or maybe I don't understand the idea behind them). By the way, https://gist.github.com/2995911 says "Sorry, this Gist contains too many files. Delete some to view it. (Consider creating a GitHub repository instead!)". Pull requests are fine, but, personally, I like the mail interface. Anyway, I don't have any meaningful change history. I can make one up if you insist, but this could get another year or two. I'm not hurrying anyone, but if you merge the current set of patches in sometime I promise to carefully fake meaningful history for the next one. :) Thanks for the answers to my questions. Best regards, Jan P.S. The question that doesn't leave my mind alone: "How should I sort the items in top-level/all-packages.nix?" At first I thought they are placed lexicographically, but they are not. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
