dream2nix focuses on the following aspects:
- Modularity
- Customizability
- Maintainability
- Code de-duplication across 2nix solutions
- Common UI across 2nix solutions
- Reduce effort to develop new 2nix solutions
- Exploration and adoption of new nix features
- Simplified updating of packages
The goal of this project is to create a standardized, generic, modular framework for automated packaging solutions, aiming for better flexibility, maintainability and usability.
The intention is to integrate many existing 2nix converters into this framework, thereby improving many of the previously named aspects and providing a unified UX for all 2nix solutions.
