Re: [Nix-dev] Source URL breakage – please can we improve the determinism

[Nix-dev] Source URL breakage – please can we improve the determinism

Dear Nix project leaders, I don't find NixOS to be very deterministic at all, and it's nearly always for the same reason: source files on random servers scattered across the Internet going walkabouts. Please can we have all source files hosted by the Nix project and all source

[Nix-dev] Proposed feature for make-wrapper.sh

Greetings, I've just installed NixOS on my desktop with KDE. I had trouble getting akonadi working (the data backend for kdepim). I found one other person with the same problem [1], though it is hard for me to believe I am the only person trying to run KMail on NixOS. The problem turned out

[Nix-dev] Changing how we compose all-packages and stdenvs

Re: [Nix-dev] mcaffee on nixos?

Hi Raahul, thanks for your answer. I know there exists binaries for linux. I could extract the zip from the mcaffee install script. It contains two deb and two rpm packages and it looks for dpkg or rpm to install them. I think I could probably extract the contents from the rpm/deb packages but
