A few questions, to help me understand how Nix works: Nix being a fully deterministic package management system, does that mean that the exact dependencies required by each package are fixed, i.e. do not change over time for a specific package (version)? Does that include the dependencies of those dependencies?
Assuming the answer to the proceeding two questions is yes, what is done in the event that a deep dependency must be updated, while all the higher level packages that use it do not? For example, each time openssl is updated for security reasons, does this require you to release new packages for hundreds of programs in your repository? -- frigidcode.com
