/hash-package-name using a garbage collector etc - it applies to all different models we can think of. If software distribution and upgrades was so easy less people would work on it :) Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl

Excerpts from Shea Levy's message of Thu Jun 28 00:52:53 +0200 2012: Eelco has said on a few occasions that new packages should not use builderDefs, IIRC. I guess the right thing to do is adding a comment then (?) I missed it his advice :( Marc Weber

Re: [Nix-dev] A bunch of patches to nixpkgs and questions
