 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 | In reply to @mattsturg:matrix.org
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. I mean I'm just replying to this | 20:24:47 |
| 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 |
| magic_rb | But anyway, i agree with ya | 20:25:14 |
 aidalgol | Anything you would want to use steam-fetcher for would be unfree, because anything FOSS available through Steam will be available via simpler means. | 20:25:52 |
| emily | yeah | 20:27:19 |
