+1 on this. I think that flattening the file tree for nixpkgs/pkgs is just a waste of time. As the OP of this thread says, he has to use `find` all the time. Now what? We all have and it works perfectly fine for all of us. Why changing (or even debating) about things which _work_ and where changes do not improve the experience of the end-user? I mean, come one, nixos is not a big community who has time to argue about infrastructure which does change (note: I don't use the term "improve" here) something for the maintainers but doesn't change anything for the end user! User experience is what comes first, and this proposal doesn't alter user experience (neither improve nor worsen) at all. So why focusing on something like this? Why debating about internal infrastructure changes while the end-user is faced with hydra not building for weeks or while there are packages out there which do not run because of unmet dependencies,... I could possibly go on. I don't want to start a conversation on the latter two points in here, but I guess you see what I mean. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt.
