Hello, it's been a while I've been interested in nix package manager and I come now with a couple of questions.
The documentation says Nix conceptually builds package from source but relies on stores (some package caches) to download already built packages. So there is some set of fixed package versions and system update depends on the store update pace, doesn't it? Is it possible to set nix to always download latest versions of installed packages, built it aside the old version and upgrade the system automatically? I know one could think some latest package may be not compatible with each other, but this leads me to the next question. I'm planning to use nix package manager within Arch Linux distro, so the distro team would do what's necessary to avoid incompatibilities. Then, is it possible to configure nix to retrieve data both from Arch repositories and from the AUR? Thanks you very much in advance for your reply and have a nice week! 胡雨軒
