For what I know, nixos-unstable includes only linux packages manifests, and as for that, it should be smaller than nixpkgs-unstable manifests. And for the nixexprs they bring: 1) nixos includes expressions for both nixos and nixpkgs 2) nixos has only expressions that hydra has finished to build (or fail to build) nixpkgs-unstable does not have nixexprs/MANIFESTS linked, and it can easily have newer nixexprs than the manifest it provides. Let's see if I got it right! Regards, Lluís. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
