We recently devoted some time to clean up all the artefacts we didn't know about in order to be on the same page. Please keep it in a fork of the repo for the time being. You could teach us on one of the next Elexis Dev Meetings and @debenol1 what do you think? |

Although devenv is an interesting, container-free tool for providing standardized development environments, I would keep the technology stack for Elexis as slim as possible and focus on Eclipse Installer/Docker. I support the idea of a separate fork for devenv |

About three years ago I switched from Debian to NixOS and discovered a bit later devenv.sh.
Each time I work on project I try to add a devenv environment to avoid any issues with conflicting libraries, compilers, databases, applications, etc. Devenv allows me to get a reproducible environment (similar as running a docker image). It is handy to define needed background process like a mysql or postgres database with correct username/password combinations. All in a even more compact form than a docker image.
Nobody should feel forced to use it, but it would be nice for me, if it could go into master and last stable branches. This would make it a lot easier for other people to try it.
