NixOS offers reproducible builds, which is why their package manager is the way it is. pip doesn't seem to offer very good support for that: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-860064953 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-86... (I don't use pip so I don't know enough to comment on it) The NixOS also offered several ways to prevent just "go[ing] to HA for support and will be unable to get it": https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-860050496 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-86... https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-860064953 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-86... Also, if you look, the HA dev has the same complaint about Fedora: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-860051291 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-86... So it is not just NixOS's "weird dependency management". The threat to relicense the software came after the NixOS devs offering several ways to prevent more burden, and after the HA dev discovered Fedora packages it too: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-860066976 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-86...
