You do realize that updating is a non-deterministic process, right? The entire point of the nix language is to be deterministic. And the only thing these update scripts do is generate new nix code. It’s not like the nix part of nixpkgs calls these scripts during evaluation because “how limited the language is”. It’s literally just a script that does automated work for the package maintainers.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
