aidalgol | I'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 |
emily | I don't think we'd want to package arbitrary steam games | 20:17:54 |
magic_rb | +1 dont think this belongs in nixpkgs, the results can never be cached anyway | 20:19:14 |
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 |
