I agree, that would be very nice to have a list of “unblocked” unfree packages.
We can go even better and “unblock” packages not by name, but by license, i. e. if I've already accepted terms of some particular non-free license it doesn't make any difference for me to have another package with this same license installed. That's how things in Gentoo work, I have a file with an explicit list of non-free licenses that I've accepted. -- Кирилл Елагин On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 6:06 PM, Marc Weber <[email protected]> wrote: > While I appreciate that things are simple I'm sure we can do even > better: > > nixpkgs.config.allowUnfreePackages = ["skype" "ati"]; > or simply "all" or true to allow all > > When setting to true you still may get "new unfree" software unnoticed. > > 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 >
