FAQ: why are flakes controversial by fricklerhandwerk · Pull Request #546 · NixOS/nix.dev · GitHub
-
@proofconstruction raised question about how we deal with flakes
- there are a lot of questions by new users, and no clear communication
- flakes come up in official channels in many discussions/PRs/issues (anything about shell.nix & reproducible dev environments, anything about nixpkgs pinning)
-
@fricklerhandwerk: we agreed last year that we will focus on documenting stable interfaces given our limited time
- we have been following that ever since, but it’s not written down in visible places, only in these meeting notes
- should add this to the maintainers page and contribution guide
- reviewed and merged
