[Nix-dev] policy based profiles

[Armijn Hemel]

hi,

after reading another part of Eelco's thesis about the user environments
I was thinking if it would be possible to have some sort of generic way
to define policies. Right now it's pretty much unmanaged, at least, it's
not easy for me to make for example a collection of udev rules. I need
custom scripts for that, and I just want to be able to do something like

nix-env -i sane --policy=linux-udev

where it would add sane to an environment and recreate /etc/udev for me.

I can imagine some sort of XML format:

<policy>
  <action name="add">
     <files>udev/*.fdi</files>
  </action>
</policy>

Or whatever...
