We can just forbid packages/modules to look at the allowUnfreePackages config option to enable special unfree contents. In my opinion, turning the setting on should not change _anything_ (no new installs, optional features enabled), just enable access to unfree stuff. It's up to the user to enable/install those. > > Would you mind thinking about whether having such an explicit white list > would be more valuable than just using "true/false" ? > > Marc Weber > _______________________________________________ > nix-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
