 emily | yeah, nixos/modules/tasks/filesystems/jfs.nix | 10:32:31 |
| emily | disabling it to increase the reproducibility stats does feel a little Goodhart's law though :) | 10:35:07 |
 Atemu | Given jfs' status, I think it's time to disable it anyways | 10:35:42 |
| Atemu | We don't need to carry such baggage forever | 10:35:54 |
| emily | FWIW it's not "officially" deprecated upstream, there was just a suggestion to do so years ago, and once in a blue moon it gets a bugfix, but my understanding is that it sees much less attention than any "active" general-purpose filesystems and its reliability might not be in a great place | 10:37:13 |
| emily | it might start getting removed if there are major reworks to the FS layer that would be a waste of time to migrate JFS over for but otherwise I expect it'll just continue to rot | 10:37:44 |
| Atemu | If even the kernel is considering removing it, we should have probably removed it years ago | 10:39:03 |
| emily | looking at nixos/modules/profiles/base.nix, reiserfs probably wants removing; that one is actually officially deprecated and on the path to removal! | 10:39:10 |
| emily | it's actually planned for removal next year even | 10:47:15 |

disabling it to increase the reproducibility stats does feel a little Goodhart's law though :) Somewhat, though keeping the base system small is also a useful goal, and if r-b helps as a mechanism to find candidates for removal that's still a win imo 😃 | 11:20:16 |
| emily | ideally there'd be another known package people actually care about that triggers whatever cursed toolchain bug is going on there | 11:21:01 |
| raboof | (in the mean time I'm having fun with reproducibility issues in the Scala compiler: https://github.com/scala/scala3/pull/20593, https://github.com/scala/scala3/issues/21154) | 13:27:29 |
