Mach nix is unmaintained

alper opened this issue · comments

In the python dev template there's an inclusion of mach-nix: https://github.com/the-nix-way/dev-templates/blob/main/python/flake.nix#L7

This is an unmaintained project.

It's also not clear really why it should be there. The documentation for it is barely there.

Reviewing, here is what I found.

  1. DavHau/mach-nix, published it's 'unmaintained status' on Dec 31 '22
  2. News was published this week that nix-community/dream2nix is replacing DavHau/mach-nix

I presume that either of the following actions needs to happen.

  1. DavHau/mach-nix needs to be forked and maintained directly in this repo
  2. dream2nix#python should replace the use of DavHau/mach-nix in this repo

Agreed that this should be removed. I'll have a look at alternatives and potentially add one later on.
