We do not have an explicit difference between runtime and build time dependency. Instead nix will scan the package's files for hashes of other packages - e.g. hardcoded library paths in elf executables or libraries - and adds these as runtime dependency. > If we have that, what reason do we have not to include openssl in > python's buildInputs? For python and openssl this means that python now has a runtime dependency on openssl because _ssl.so needs it - not saying this is good/bad. thx Andres! If my explanation contains errors, they were introduced by me and are not at all due to wrong explanation by Andres. -- Florian Friesdorf <f...@chaoflow.net> GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: f...@chaoflow.net IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC
