Tristan Ross | Hmm, maybe we should see if the surveys the marketing team puts out could ask people what kind of hardware they run Nix or NixOS on | 01:25:53 |
Tristan Ross | I've sort of drafted this https://pad.lassul.us/9yYTVp73QBul7dCm6tCWsw?view | 01:41:29 |
Tristan Ross | The left side is like lower tiers which means better changes of things working. | 01:42:26 |
Tristan Ross | So like riscv32-linux-gnu is sort of considered not really supported | 01:42:46 |
Tristan Ross | While x86_64-linux-gnu has full support | 01:42:57 |
emily | surely aarch64-darwin should have user adoption rather than x86_64-darwin? | 01:45:41 |
emily | they haven't produced an x86 Mac in years | 01:45:48 |
Tristan Ross | 🤷 | 01:46:00 |
emily | (also I don't think cross-compilation is a criterion? maybe I'm misunderstanding) | 01:46:25 |
Tristan Ross | I consider being able to do cross a sort of base criteria | 01:48:31 |
Tristan Ross | Some systems may be exempt (like Darwin) for technical reasons | 01:48:50 |
Tristan Ross | The first two criteria I consider to be a baseline support for it in nixpkgs | 01:49:13 |
Tristan Ross | It means you can get a system but support is limited | 01:49:28 |
Tristan Ross | I think we can make an RFC that replaces RFC 46 and make a more formal set of criteria for things. | 01:56:02 |
emily | I think the RFC 46 criteria are pretty good, esp. in that they primarily define expectations on contributions and support rather than technical proxies for those | 02:00:17 |
