If you have OSX, it's much more reliable and better option than homebrew, so there it would pay off immediately

- mdaniel 3y agoJust for your consideration, the network effect is very real with package managers, too: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=awscli2 https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=awscli2 is 2.11.27 (even on the "unstable" channel), versus https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/awscli#default https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/awscli#default that is 2.12.1, which correctly is the most current (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/tags https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/tags)
- soraminazuki 3y agoThis is incorrect. Nixpkgs updated to 2.12 on the same day as Homebrew. - Nixpkgs (3 days ago): https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=238031 https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=238031 - Homebrew (3 days ago): https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/133968 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/133968 Your link refers to the 23.05 stable release channel, so it'd likely stay at 2.11. Package updates don't get backported to stable channels except for fixes. Additionally, the package search page probably isn't updated in real time so the version might be slightly out of sync. Nixpkgs is generally quick to update packages because Nix encourages automation.
