You're missing my point, that building a public project from source should not require you to have a specific package manager installed.

- rgoulter 5y ago"project should be able to be built without nix" is reasonable. "Nix shouldn't provide compiler toolchain" is not. Nix's whole design is oriented around explicit description of inputs in programmatic descriptions of package.
- viraptor 5y agoI don't believe there's any non-nixos project so integrated with nix that it's required. You'd need to show some example here. It's normally just a wrapper for the description of how to setup the system - which you can totally do on your own and that's how most projects roll: just a text description of dependencies / versions.
