Can you give some examples of this please?
I generally find the NixOS packages high quality.
- dataangel 3y agoUnless you care about packages from lang package managers like pip...
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoYou can get those, but its more work on NixOS if not already packaged. I'm undecided on what I think about this since... I frequently get bitten by reproducibility issues of pip packages. Anything packaged in nixplgs generally rarely fails for me, especially in the more complex cases of cuda/pytorch. I suppose I'm more likely to want "pytorch except" where that except is a newer dependency or build flag improving performance.
