Re: [Nix-dev] KDE 4.13.1?

Man this is a fun ride :) Nice build setup I must say. Question: The manifest scripts add sane names for the packages (converting - to _), but nix supports - in names now, so should those be removed? I have a lot compiled already but baloo was added amongst other things, so it is not a

Maybe nixpkgs deserves its own website. I for one am not interested in NixOS at this point, but I can see it have a much larger impact and user base than nixpkgs (think mobile platform). Nixpkg consumers are probably less sensitive to the lookfeel of a website, so that site could be pretty

I really don't like that Nixpkgs is being buried in favor of NixOS. More people using Nixpkgs = more bugs found+fixed, more packages, newer versions, more switches to NixOS. Nixpkgs is a stepping stone. Why point Homebrew users to Nix? They only want to have an nginx install, or a more recent
