@hexa:lossy.network | Janne Heß: make it happen! | 00:05:40 |
@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | In reply to @lily:lily.flowers Janne Heß: Do you think you could clarify the license situation for https://github.com/helsinki-systems/plymouth-theme-nixos-bgrt? I would like to package it in nixpkgs, if that's okay Sure, what do you want? Mit? | 07:11:04 |
@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | Also have you tested it first? I don't even remember if it looks good | 07:13:13 |
@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | In reply to @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de Sure, what do you want? Mit? Or does it have to be CC-BY? that's what the logo is under. If only licensing wasn't what it is… | 07:33:46 |
@lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de Or does it have to be CC-BY? that's what the logo is under. If only licensing wasn't what it is… I mean the logo is cc-by and not cc-by-sa, so it doesn't necessarily need to be the same license. It just needs to have attribution | 08:12:58 |
@lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de Also have you tested it first? I don't even remember if it looks good Yeah it does look good! | 08:13:11 |
@lily:lily.flowers | I would say easiest is to just keep cc-by, though, same as the logo (my not-a-lawyer understanding is that cc licenses better accomodate creative works like this anyway rather than something like MIT) | 08:16:08 |
@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | https://library.mit.edu.au/copyright/creativecommons
Looks like a readme attribution is enough. I wanted mit because it would be compatible with nixpkgs | 08:28:42 |
@lily:lily.flowers | Yeah, just readme attribution is sufficient. It should be compatible with nixpkgs either way (pretty sure there's already cc assets in the repo), I mostly just care that it's licensed at all | 08:45:09 |
@dramforever:matrix.org | compatibility doesn't really matter unless you're pasting the repo contents into nixpkgd | 08:53:55 |
@dramforever:matrix.org | * compatibility doesn't really matter unless you're pasting the repo contents into nixpkgs | 08:53:56 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Huh... I just realized I think we're forcing initrd to be updated every time nixpkgs updates, even if nothing in initrd actually changed. | 09:07:48 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Because of this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/88bdb6d79b0bdf03d3338f6f3d1416a55ec199ab/nixos/modules/misc/version.nix#L18-L38 | 09:08:16 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | The initrdRelease contains BUILD_ID, which includes the nixpkgs revision | 09:08:32 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | That's not good | 09:08:47 |
@lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org That's not good Should we try to strip that out or just make our own initrd os-release attrset with less info to begin with? | 13:41:45 |
@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | Lily Foster: added a MIT license and a README with the appropriate attribution | 13:59:25 |
@janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | Feel free to open a PR that mentions the package name in the README once it's upstreamed ;) | 14:00:24 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | In reply to @lily:lily.flowers Should we try to strip that out or just make our own initrd os-release attrset with less info to begin with? Probably just separate common, stage 2, and stage 1. I'm going to need another variant for ukify since that seems to require an os-release as well | 16:15:44 |
K900 | One thing I wanted to do for bootis but didn't get around to doing is building UKIs with Nix | 16:16:36 |
K900 | That would be really nice | 16:16:51 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | It's not hard. I've got a little script for it somewhere | 16:16:53 |

@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | But also systemd now has theukify tool to do it, which can easily be used in a nix derivation. It just requires an os-release for whatever reason | 16:22:00 |
K900 | I know it's not hard, I just wanted to get it into nixpkgs | 16:25:24 |
K900 | And probably wire it up as a bootspec extension | 16:25:34 |
@gdamjan:spodeli.org | you can create a custom os-release right | 16:25:41 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | gdamjan: Yea I'm just annoyed by it :P | 16:25:58 |
@gdamjan:spodeli.org | it's used to identify the image :D | 16:26:17 |
