[nmglug] next generation package repo management anyone? (nix, flatpak, snap)

[Mark Galassi]

Has anyone here used nix or flatpak or snap either:

a) to install packages on your own system, or

b) to distribute your own packages

I've used nix install emacs26, since it was not yet in standard repos,
and now I'm experimenting with NextCloud (topic for another post) which
installed right away.  I've also tried an install with snap and
flatpak.  I don't yet have any conclusions.
