> There are significant advantages to having the entire Nixpkgs package set in a mono repository. Yes there is many advantages to nixpkgs being a single repo. In fact, it is one of the main strength of Nix. It gives you all the advantages of corporate style source monorepo without the inconvenience. Out of order: - It avoids the multi-version diamond dependency problem and the necessity of a SAT solver. - It allows transactional upgrade of multiple packages. - The detection of any break / problem of an update for any software depending on it automatically. - A consistent view on the entire dependency tree at each instant. With possibility of rollbacks.
