Subject: What about dependency resolution à la apt?
Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 19:52:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <368b70bd-ef62-ea59-7c2d-4564d7948f40@hypermove.net> (raw)
Héllo,
AFAIU guix does hardcode the dependencies so that to know the dependencies
one has onlytocrawl the dependency DAG using a BFS or something. I don't
know what is the exact part in guix that does that. It's only my
understanding.
What about having apt-like dependency resolution, also like npm where
version
are specified in terms of "superior to", "equal to" taking advantage of
semantic
versionning?
tx!
