macOS Sonoma is available today
The Determinate Systems nix installer is quite smooth: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/
Though it does tend to get clobbered on macOS updates.

PackagingCon – a conference only for software package management
and that's just the simple version, on Linux, and thus is likely the happy-path in CI.
When trying to use it locally on macOS, this here is just some "you wanna do _what_?!": https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/tree/v0.... (not to pick on determinate.systems, the upstream is similarly facepalm: https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/installation/installing-... )

A guide for setting up Guix as a package manager for openSUSE MicroOS
Nice write up. But my question would be why not just use the Determinate Systems Nix installer to install nix? Is there a specific reason you went with Guix?

Executing a remote sh command for installation - why is this so risky?
Personally, I like using this alternate installer. I find it a bit easier to work with. https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer

The downvote button is on the bottom left
You should be able to install both in a container and on the host. And for the install script, no idea why it doesn't work for you, but there's also an unofficial installer you could try: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer

Simple way to install package using Nix on macOS?
I've installed Nix on macOS using nix-installer. Now I can start a temporary nix shell using nix-shell -p git direnv as an example, but I need both of these packages "globally" outside of a nix-shell. How do I do this on macos?

Debian Discusses Vendoring yet Again
If you ever revisit that decision, check out FPM. It can shave off a few of the rough edges related to packaging: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

- PackagingCon – a conference only for software package management
- Makefile to .deb

Been adding a little more polish to my Battle Network/ Smash bros inspired game.
The easiest way is probably FPM: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Zrok: open-source peer to peer sharing with ability to selfhost
There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

What's the deal with Slackware?
I use RedHat based environments for work. I've had good success creating my own yum repo and building RPM packages with Effing package management. FPM can handle packages for most distros so if you want to publish a linux app it is an easy way to provide it in multiple formats.
