I suggested it being based on the git source once.

I guess we could also set up a separate repo on github just for the

I thought about writing a Haskell interpreter for nix, too.
Haskell is very close to nix (being lazy) that comparing performance
would be interesting.
So what is your goal?
If we want some more advanced features for nix (like strong typing),

Is there a reason to keep the old 3.2 kernel for the installer?
I would prefer some newer kernel there, too. Although 3.2 is still

this reason I would even prefer to alway

Hi, I've noticed lots of derivations called 'unit' during last update.
Please explain what do they mean?
It looks to me that in this case we should strive for more complete

Hi,
I don't understand this. I found out I've got twice pcre in some
closures, which boils down to the fact that gnugrep depends on one and
