 Solène Rapenne (she/her) | i made a weird setup, using nix-installer on gentoo to get nix, and then mount my /nix from NixOS, it didn't turn well because the default profile didn't exist on my NixOS 😅 | 14:55:40 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | I'm likely to be a couple minutes late, it's been a rough morning/week | 14:57:23 |
 Ana | Agenda for the day https://hackmd.io/I8PqMMZyRwS507VKtfHvwQ | 15:01:55 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I wish I could have mustered more excitement for today 😓 | 15:20:08 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | * I wish I could have mustered more energy for today 😓 | 15:20:12 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | I'd propose the reschedule to every 3 or 4 weeks, we have been skipping 1/2 of the meetings recently due to lack of content, and it may be easier to gather more people and interest if there are less meeting but more content to discuss in them? | 15:21:27 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | let's hold on to the one in 2 weeks assuming we make it on that date | 15:23:19 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | and re-evaluate then? | 15:23:52 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | nix-installer will have its first release by that date 🎉 | 15:23:52 |
| 17 Jan 2023 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | we haven't been able to release it yet, but it is Coming. Let's postpone and meet in 2 weeks? | 22:19:48 |

| Ana | We have a 0.0.2 tagged now :) https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer | 01:30:59 |
| 24 Jan 2023 |
| Ana | A root-only "Single user" mode is in development right now: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/188 | 16:53:13 |
| Ana | * A root-only "Single user" mode is in development right now: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/188
This would enable WSL, Docker, etc | 16:53:22 |
| Ana | We're also testing auto-uid-allocation since that would simplify the installer a lot: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/pull/196
Notably we did find a small bug with that Nix feature running inside docker, we're working on a fix

| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | hi, we have a meeting today right? :) | 08:34:25 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | yep! | 14:15:10 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | by the way, just a little note ... we saw in user studies that a lot of people would spend a long time reading the curl'd script and try to replicate what it was doing. That ended up taking a really significant amount of time of the user study, which inspired this little change for the curious: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/commit/6b3a84002e1e43f5d8d2efe7e9c1edd7b89b21bd | 15:54:37 |
| Solène Rapenne (she/her) | good idea | 15:59:55 |
| 10 Feb 2023 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | Hey folks, should we cancel next week's call and reconvene on Wed, March 1? | 21:06:02 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | (I have a conflict that day :x) | 21:06:12 |
 Matthew Kenigsberg | Okay by me! | 21:48:50 |

 abathur | le sigh | 21:13:11 |
| abathur | * le sigh | 21:13:34 |
| Ana | What's wrong, abathur ? | 21:59:50 |
| abathur | someone's opened a chonky WIP installer PR | 22:01:30 |
| 14 Feb 2023 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | link? | 16:37:56 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7827 oh dear | 16:39:02 |
| abathur | not sure about quality of the instructions, but spotted this on reddit https://github.com/dnkmmr69420/nix-with-selinux under the title "I got nix working with selinux on silverblue" | 21:34:06 |
 Zhaofeng Li | In reply to @grahamc:nixos.org
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7827 oh dear This would look much less chunky if the author didn't insist on reformatting everything 🤨 | 22:38:13 |
| Zhaofeng Li | But based on the PR description, they don't appear to be receptive to feedback suggesting otherwise:
this is an objective readability improvement not a style-preference change.
