 K900 ⚡️ | @colemickens so should we send https://github.com/nix-community/flake-firefox-nightly/pull/45 | 06:14:42 |
 nbp | K900: what is the issue with nixpkgs-mozilla? | 10:39:45 |
| K900 ⚡️ | No particular issue, it's just ... kinda unnecessary? | 10:40:00 |
| K900 ⚡️ | And makes coordinating changes harder | 10:40:08 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Like, all we really do is override firefox-bin with a different source | 10:40:24 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Having to go through two layers of indirection for that feels unnecessary | 10:41:08 |
| nbp | Would merging the repository help? | 10:42:15 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Merging where? | 10:42:21 |
| nbp | * Would merging the repositories help? | 10:42:24 |
| nbp | making one repository with both the content of both. | 10:42:40 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Both what? | 10:43:01 |
| K900 ⚡️ | flake-firefox-nightly and nixpkgs-mozilla? | 10:43:08 |
| nbp | I do not care. Apart from the historical value of nixpkgs-mozilla being the first overlay. | 10:43:34 |
| K900 ⚡️ | There's a bunch of other stuff in nixpkgs-mozilla | 10:43:51 |
| K900 ⚡️ | I'm not sure where that should go | 10:44:02 |
| nbp | yes, such as the toolchain I am using daily to compile Firefox / SpiderMonkey locally. | 10:44:12 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Maybe we can move in the direction of chopping it up into multiple repos | 10:44:31 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Given it's basically a bunch of mostly-independent bits that were dumped into a single repo for convenience and no real other reason | 10:45:14 |
| nbp | the Rust toolchain compiler, for staying up-to-date with the bleeding edge requirements from 2015, and the updates of the C++-layer translation which is also extremelly bleeding edge. | 10:45:18 |
| nbp | Well the convenience is being able to build Firefox from sources. | 10:45:48 |
| nbp | and contributing to it. | 10:46:03 |
| K900 ⚡️ | I mean the toolchain and firefox-bin being in the same repo | 10:46:09 |
| K900 ⚡️ | And I think there's a few other mostly unrelated overlays in there? | 10:47:01 |
| nbp | yes, to add an old version of gcc that is no longer capable of building firefox anymore. | 10:47:36 |
| K900 ⚡️ | Like there's a servo in there | 10:47:39 |
| K900 ⚡️ | And phlay | 10:47:42 |
| K900 ⚡️ | And git-cinnabar which we already have in nixpkgs and is also woefully outdated | 10:48:06 |
| nbp | phlay is an old tool for working with phabricator, to push changes. | 10:48:07 |
| K900 ⚡️ | And so on | 10:48:08 |
