[Nix-dev] Including "beta" or "unstable" identifiers in package names?

[Shea Levy]

Hi all,

Apparently some of our packages where we have multiple versions, like
rust, have identifiers like '-beta' or '-master' appended to their names
before their versions. IMO the 'beta' and 'master' is part of the
version, not the package name, and so if it exists at all it should be
part of the version string; should we change those packages?

Cheers,
Shea
