> a traditionally distro wouldn't even bother packaging any of this stuff or engage at all.
unfortunately the library author made a PR to Home Assistant, a program that is packaged in many distro; all those distro will add his package. see https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/51645
Is home-assistant packaged in any traditional distro like Debian or Fedora? I didn't think so.
So long as everyone is supposed to just grab some docker container or OS image from the home-assistent people, the traditional distros that should back up NixOS here won't even be looped in.
There's literally a comment in there about Fedora having packaged it.
I'm glad to be wrong! Does fedora package all the python libs separately, or allow the deps to be vendored in this case?
