Good question. I've been thinking the same; there are way to many old/stale branches in official nixpkgs repo. Similar for tags. Here are just a few: backups/parallel-building-merger@34171 backups/pure-python@34174 backups/stdenv-ada@26758 backups/stdenv-bootstrap-20100825@23426 backups/stdenv-updates-merge@10849 backups/stdenv-updates2@18273 backups/stdenv-updates2@18282 backups/stdenv-updates@10965 And further, about tags: $ git describe fatal: No annotated tags can describe '8e62c497ca82af93a45d65ebdbb2bad808e5bc7b'. However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags. $ git describe --tags last-glibc-2.13-33480-g8e62c49 That's not right.... it should say 14.12-something or 15.05-something. (And the tag should be _annotated_, so we know who tagged it and when.) - Bjørn _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
