@aidalgol:matrix.orgaidalgolI've had a few people ask me about moving https://github.com/nix-community/steam-fetcher into nixpkgs. I'm not sure it really belongs there. Any thoughts on this?20:14:44
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI don't think we'd want to package arbitrary steam games20:17:54
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rb+1 dont think this belongs in nixpkgs, the results can never be cached anyway20:19:14
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbBut i will use it for my arma server20:19:24
@mattsturg:matrix.orgMatt 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
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI think potentially sure but the bar would be higher20:21:32
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyand then there's things about this that would put it under that bar (in my judgement)20:21:40
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbCan you elaborate?20:22:29
