What is your reasoning behind nr.3? I don’t disagree as they seem hostile towards the nix HA project. At least that is what I gathered when I set up my zigbee devices on a NixOS server.
- aidenn0 3y agoI also use NixOS. They requested HA be not included in nixpkgs.
- wredue 3y agoThere are parts of NixOS that require specific support or you apps simply don’t work, and I can see why a developer would not want NixOS issues causing tickets for them.
- kriiuuu 3y agoThey aren’t really open-source then are they?
- aidenn0 3y ago1. It's allowed to have wants and desires separate from the obligations imposed by the licensing terms 2. Not wanting people to open tickets/issues is completely orthogonal to being libre software.
- aidenn0 3y agoIIRC they didn't want distributed via any package manager (apt, yum &c.); nixpkgs was not singled-out[1]. This was a while ago, so I may have misremembered. 1: Though NixOS users have both social and technical reasons for more strongly wanting software to be in nixpkgs than e.g. Ubuntu users have for wanting the software to be distributed via apt.
- aragilar 3y agoI'm not sure NixOS users are that different from users of other distros, all want a tool that properly manages their systems (rather than random packages being scattered everywhere).
