Hi all, Let's say for a moment that Nix has taken over the world, and every open source project now includes a default.nix or release.nix in its repo root.
What does nixpkgs look like in this world? Does it duplicate the individual package .nix files in their respective repositories? Does it only duplicate minimal information (dependencies and meta) from the remote repositories? We're already running into (a small amount of) pain because Hydra already fits the description above: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/7504#issuecomment-95547176. Based on expectations set by most packages in nixpkgs/nixos, we expect to find services and packages in nixpkgs, and Hydra breaks that expectation. I'm not necessarily saying we should move its expressions into nixpkgs, but I am looking for someone to paint a picture of what Nix(OS) life will look like when we achieve world domination :) Thanks Dan
