 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Updated the GitHub project to mark the dropped packages as such | 23:23:27 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | For the TiddlyWiki thing: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/465085 | 23:27:54 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | The tailwindcss Nixpkgs package has support for specifying plugins from a derivation, which is probably something we should drop in favor of packages specifying that through package.json, and then having them fetchNpmDeps | 23:37:53 |

The tailwindcss Nixpkgs package has support for specifying plugins from a derivation, which is probably something we should drop in favor of packages specifying that through package.json, and then having them fetchNpmDeps works for me since that seems a lot less janky | 23:49:23 |

For the TiddlyWiki thing: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/465085 added to merge queue and added 25.11/25.05 backport labels | 23:50:38 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Awesome. Right now I'm working on getting aws-cdk into top-level, since it looks like it's very popular | 00:57:04 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | i think i have a stash with some work on it in my local fork | 00:59:25 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and some other packages there too | 00:59:31 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | * | 01:00:35 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | nope never mind | 01:00:34 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and looking, the other work is months and months old and really isnt useful | 01:00:55 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Also looks like two people have tried to update aws-cdk by updating nodePackages | 01:03:29 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | true and substituteInPlace, how I love you | 01:12:15 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | It probably surprises nobody that the build process is cursed. We have dependencies on Docker (or Finch), Python, and DotNET. I think I can probably patch out the Python/DotNET dependencies easily | 01:34:46 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | aws moment | 02:48:44 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Their prebuilt zipball comes in at 1.1GB. No clue if that's a source tarball or pre-compiled | 03:50:41 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | They do include a lockfile in their upstream repository though, which is great! I imagine that they have a lot of dependencies | 03:56:30 |

Their prebuilt zipball comes in at 1.1GB. No clue if that's a source tarball or pre-compiled thats a surprisingly large zip for what is ostensibly a javascript cli program | 06:33:08 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | how many dependencies could it have 😠| 06:33:20 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | (she says, knowing of the horrors) | 06:33:27 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I was looking at the wrong repo! It got moved to aws/aws-cdk-cli, and nobody updated the documentation in aws/aws-cdk about it | 19:22:09 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | The 1.1GB thing is all of their SDKs for various programming languages | 19:22:57 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Builds take... ten minutes for reasons | 20:24:13 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Filed an issue so they can maybe fix this: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/36220 | 21:12:09 |

Builds take... ten minutes for reasons 🙃 fun | 22:10:52 |

I was looking at the wrong repo! It got moved to aws/aws-cdk-cli, and nobody updated the documentation in aws/aws-cdk about it also "fun" | 22:10:59 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I think I got it! that took an absurdly long time | 22:54:37 |
