<listitem><para>The man-pages generated from the DocBook documentation
|

are ugly.</para></listitem>

|
<listitem><para>Generations properly form a tree. E.g., if after
|
|
switching to generation 39, we perform an installation action, a
|
|
generation 43 is created which is a descendant of 39, not 42. So a
|
|
rollback from 43 ought to go back to 39. This is not currently
|
|
implemented; generations form a linear sequence.</para></listitem>

|
|
<listitem><para>For security, <command>nix-push</command> manifests
|
|
should be digitally signed, and <command>nix-pull</command> should
|
|
verify the signatures. The actual NAR archives in the cache do not
|
|
need to be signed, since the manifest contains cryptographic hashes of
|
|
these files (and <filename>fetchurl.nix</filename> checks
|
|
them).</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>It would be useful to have an option in
|
|
<command>nix-env --delete-generations</command> to remove non-current
|
|
generations older than a certain age.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>There should be a flexible way to change the user
|
|
environment builder. Currently, you have to replace
|
|
<filename><replaceable>prefix</replaceable>/share/nix/corepkgs/buildenv/builder.pl</filename>,
|
|
which is hard-coded into <command>nix-env</command>. Also, the
|
|
default builder should be more powerful. For instance, there should
|
|
be some way to specify priorities to resolve
|
|
collisions.</para></listitem>
