I'm just a random guy here, but:
1-I use fish for my user shell, and I never had any problem... Obviously
nix-shell still defaults to bash, but I'm not bothered too much about it (I
tend to use it only to debug when some build doesn't work)

I think a lot of packages rely on bashism, it's not only a matter of our
scripts. Changing to something else will bring more problems than anything
else. Also the fact that bash sees more security vulnerabilities it's
because it's extremely more adopted than others, which doesn't mean others

All the ways is at least Guile-as-a-shell, anf I guess we should just
admit that Guix with its dmd is the proper way forward?
I must admit that I don't like your defeatist attitude o
If we're replacing bash we might as well go all the way...
Have we made any progress rewriting systemd in csh?

Why can't we choose zsh?
It's similar to bash, but don't have it's problems.
It's autocomplete systems is fast enough. No security problems AFAIK.
As for me - I'm against csh because it's really unpopular and many users
will be disappointed. Myself, I heart nothing good about csh (my bad, but

While adding support for SmartOS I’ve encountered many “autoconf” packages
that claim to be shell agnostic, yet are riddled with BASH-isms. SmartOS comes
with KSH installed in /bin/sh by default, that’s how I noticed.

Hi guys,
the default builder in Nixpkgs (and pretty much all other shell code in all our
packages) assumes that it's interpreted by "bash". Now, we've had a lot of
trouble with "bash" recently:
- crazy security vulnerabilities;
- auto completion is slow, gives unexpected results, or doesn't wo
Hi Bjørn
Ahhh, stupid mistake.
Thank you for the help,

That command looks a bit odd. I think you want "nix-env -f . -iA
aspellDicts.da".

Hi
I am new to NixOS, but got quickly up and running in a VirtualBox guest..
Thanx for a great system.
However, there is no Nix package for a Danish Aspell dictionary. I
therefore tried to roll my own. I have followed the guide here
https://nixos.org/wiki/Contributing_to_nixpkgs. I have got a loc
Thanks

there are two:
nix-channel --add
http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates/channel/latest
nix-channel --add
http://hydra.cryp.to/jobset/
As a non-nixos (i.e. nixpkgs only) user, which channel should I be updating
from to get the up to date haskellng derivations?

Hi YCH,

the Haskell NG packages are not a part of the nixpkgs-unstable channel yet.
They will be in the near future, when we migrate from the old Haskell
package set to the new one, but as it is now the NG packages are b
