 eyJhb | I'll have to investigate the hooks. It seems like it's building (I have a 'build' for), but it doesn't seem to be copied over. And even if I do it manually, it isn't in the output afterwards. I have to double check this howeverm | 09:06:43 |

| vog | I noticed that Nixpkgs contains tons of server-side NPM packages, but practically no client-side NPM packges, such as the reactjs client library or bootstrap-css. Why is that? It that due to a lack of interest and/or volunteers? Or is there a project policy actively discouraging that? | 11:56:51 |
 Cobalt | Afaict, mostly lack of contributions. There is also a limited need to include (client side) libraries because most derivations use a fetcher for the JS dependencies and don't rely on other packages. | 16:03:47 |
 magic_rb | Id add that JS ecosystem is notoriously hard to package purely and i get PTSD every time someone asks me to touch anything javascript | 16:07:49 |
 emily | probably you are looking at nodePackages which is deprecated? | 16:32:25 |
 Marie | there's not really a reason to do that, you would be just reinventing npm | 16:34:34 |

probably you are looking at nodePackages which is deprecated? Is it deprecated now? Do we now package things purely by FOD? | 17:03:28 |
| emily | yes | 17:03:42 |
| magic_rb | Damn, i get it, but kinda sucks :( | 17:04:09 |

| eyJhb | The fix was this https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/385221#issuecomment-2689389743 , it was a .gitignore file that was the issue in the end. | 12:32:36 |
| eyJhb | Just weird that it's only now, that it became a issue. Because that line has been there forever. | 12:33:53 |

Is it deprecated now? Do we now package things purely by FOD? many/all modern ecosystems in Nixpkgs are only really feasible with FODs. Until someone proves the contrary. I also dislike it, but that's what we have. | 04:24:32 |
| João Moreira | That's one of the reasons that I find Nix is far from optimal as a local development environment. | 04:26:38 |
