Hello all of you, I'm getting interested more and more into both that package manager and that GNU distribution.
I come from Arch/Linux, and actually one of my concerns is about update pace. Arch Linux ensures rolling releases so we can enjoy the latest software versions few hours up to few days after they have been published. Sorry for that, I haven't got any informations about update pace except “Baboon”, a new version of nix package manager has been published in April. A linked concern is about from-source compilation. To get updates faster, is there any easy way to fetch sources then compile them automatically? Could we be able to share those built packages to fasten update pace? For example, Arch/Linux provides such handy tool: AUR <https://aur.archlinux.org/> used with yaourt <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/yaourt>. I'm not sketching comparison between Arch and NixOs but merely trying to figure how easy it's to live with NixOs as main OS ;-) Peter 胡雨軒
