Oh so that there are harmless forms of non-determinism. I totally forgot
about things like that. So there is no way for Nix to automatically know
if the package is built correctly? You still need the user to try the
package and see if it functions correctly.

Yay! The idea is even better than I expected!

systemd is not just an init system.
This is my first problem - systemd is a bit bloated and mysterious.
I don't like the idea of big blobs doing everything on a system. It

Hi all,
At Zalora, we are gradually switching to using defnix

does use systemd, but the service/functionality interface (check out the

Hi Michael,
Well, with NixPkgs having multiple instances of a package installed
requires zero support from the package expression itself. I do think
that services becoming more like packages would be a good thing, but
currently I have no idea how to do this except by just giving up the

I understand why, but I'm not very good at English rhetoric.
I'll just jump in and say that if you is going to donate time to do this,
Ertugrul, then I'm all for it.
It seems like it is possible to make the service system a lot leaner,
smaller, and nicer. This is especially true when services are in
containers, or NixOS is used in docker containers.
