 magic_rb | But i will use it for my arma server | 20:19:24 |
 Matt Sturgeon | I'm not personally familiar with steam-fetcher, but just asking generally; would it make sense for nixpkgs to maintain fetchers/builders/writers/etc for things not actually used in nixpkgs, but useful out-of-tree? In this case that'd be steam games, I guess. | 20:20:44 |
 emily | I think potentially sure but the bar would be higher | 20:21:32 |
| emily | and then there's things about this that would put it under that bar (in my judgement) | 20:21:40 |
| magic_rb | Can you elaborate? | 20:22:29 |
| emily | well, like you said it's not that it's not used in Nixpkgs but that it never would be used in Nixpkgs, result is uncachable, might even be violating ToS etc. | 20:23:56 |
| magic_rb | Well yeah thats what were discussing | 20:24:32 |

| emily | I think it can make sense in theory but that it doesn't make sense in practice for this | 20:24:56 |
| magic_rb | Yeah i didnt quite get it | 20:25:00 |
