@k900:0upti.meK900And I think there's a few other mostly unrelated overlays in there?10:47:01
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpyes, to add an old version of gcc that is no longer capable of building firefox anymore.10:47:36
@k900:0upti.meK900Like there's a servo in there10:47:39
@k900:0upti.meK900And phlay10:47:42
@k900:0upti.meK900And git-cinnabar which we already have in nixpkgs and is also woefully outdated10:48:06
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpphlay is an old tool for working with phabricator, to push changes.10:48:07
@k900:0upti.meK900And so on10:48:08
@k900:0upti.meK900 Yeah but like, it doesn't need to be there, it should be in nixpkgs if people use it 10:48:22
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpwell only people interested in Firefox contribution use these.10:48:47
@k900:0upti.meK900I think a lot of people use it for the Firefox overlay10:49:04
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpMy point is that nixpkgs-mozilla has lots of legacy, but they got introduced because of the needs to work on Firefox sources.10:51:02
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpthe binary were there only to provide a mean to stay up-to-date in a single command.10:51:53

@vcunat:matrix.orgvcunatIt's a weird thing anyway, as FF 134+ should have ICU 76 (in the vendored libs), if I read this right: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192770611:58:17
@hexa:lossy.networkhexawill probably take a look at how the icu packages of other distros look13:26:32
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaand why ours behaves weirdly13:26:40
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut not sure when, since it isn't urgent right now13:26:57
