[Nix-dev] systemd in the long run: Revisiting How We Put Together Linux Systems (it's almost Nix...)

The systemd kabal just wrote a blog post detailing their long term vision on Linux. They have great issue with traditional package managers (who can blame them?). They sketch a possible solution, based on a whole lof of BTRFS subvolumes, sort of used like docker images but linked to each other

Re: [Nix-dev] pyenchant: new package

It's not that migrating away from Github, if it was ever necessary, is going to be really hard. It's not that they added proprietary stuff to git, just a very nice frontend. Just my 2 cents, Nathan On Sat, Sep 13, 2014 at 10:07 PM, Vladimír Čunát vcu...@gmail.com wrote: On 09/13/2014 09:41

Re: [Nix-dev] Is systemd a benefit or a liability?

It's not all quiet at other Distro's, some Debian developers are considering forking Debian if Debian switches to SystemD: http://debianfork.org/ I like some of the features of SystemD; on the other hand it makes porting Nix very hard to Non-linux. I would love to have services on Mac, BSD,

You could also use Nix inside Docker. This way you should only install Docker on your host. Nathan. --- nat...@nathan.gs | nathan.gs http://nathan.gs?utm_source=footerutm_medium=emailutm_campaign=n | @nathan_gs http://twitter.com/nathan_gs | linkedin.com/in/nbijnens On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 10:54

Not directly helping you with cron, but any reason why you are using cron instead of systemd timers? The functionality is the same, but output is logged to journald, status is kept and accessible using systemctl. Just add a startAt definition to your systemd service. N. On Sun, Jul 12, 2015 at
