Hi Simon, I enjoyed reading your article. Would you consider https://gnu.tools/en/documents/social-contract/ to be a social contract as defined in your blog post? The GNU Assembly ended up being rather immobilized by proximity to GNU, its self-appointed spokes people, and the fact that old GNU c

Would it make sense to sort package inputs when computing derivations to prevent this sort of unintentional change? I don't think the input order is important for the build, so this seems like it could be relatively simple to implement & avoid this recurring. On November 1, 2024 5:20:51 PM PDT
