Ok, "nix-env -u --eq" / "nix-env -u --leq": - did remove some "duplicates" (e.g. I now only have two acl-2.2.52-entries instead of three) and some old versions - but it also added some (e.g. two xcb-util-0.4.0 instead of one) > > Is this because I use nixpkgs-unstable, and everything is moving > > there, and is this reduced in the NixOS-release-channels? > > Or is there some other reason? > The problem comes from how nix-env updates packages, but is less visible > if you follow a stable branch. Ok. thanks, Roland _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
