[Nix-dev] Re: [Nix-commits] SVN commit: nix - 17405 - MarcWeber - in nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs: tools/package-management/nix top-level

Sorry, I again replied to someone (Ludo) privately only.

Of course this message was meant to everyone.

Anyway: Everyone has seen that I reverted the patch now.

It is terrible useful to me.

I marked it has experimental because I didn't investigate in detail
whether the xml output may recurse indefinitely in some cases or such.

Nevertheless Michael Raskin said it maybe could be useful.

Yours
