You end up with a new, grafted dependency graph, which can be reproduced just like the un-grafted graph. Is there some other reproducibility issue you see?

by lfam 10y ago
In Guix, we address this problem with grafting. Rather than rebuild everything that depends on the fixed glibc, we build the fixed glibc, then rewrite all references to the old glibc to refer to the new one. That rewriting happens in new co

I think a lot of Mutt users do what you are describing. I use mbsync to synchronize my mail over IMAP with my remote mailserver. I use mu to index it for search. I use msmtp to send mail. And I use mutt to read and write mail.

Windows really doesn't have a firewall with features comparable to other operating systems? I suppose Microsoft's point of view could be that they don't want users to accidentally screw themselves while trying to open a port
