Fabian Affolter: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/126326#issuecomment-857620450 what's going on here? And this? | 12:23:32 |
| hexa | Ah i see, he does not grok nixpkgs | 12:24:19 |
 lukegb (he/him) | "Slightly assholic at first sight 🤒" yup, can confirm | 12:34:43 |
| hexa | indeed | 13:53:17 |
| hexa | I quoted that yesterday in a private conversation | 13:53:26 |
| hexa | hoped for "Actually a nice guy that just likes to get stuff done" | 13:53:40 |
| hexa | so, looking at the packages he maintains … that also includes wled | 13:54:03 |
| hexa | and I'm using wled | 13:54:06 |
| hexa | so I'm moderately pissed | 13:54:10 |
| hexa |
- adguardhome
- toonapi
- wled
- twentemilieu

| lukegb (he/him) | We were having a bit of a discussion in #dev:nixos.org | 13:57:25 |
| lukegb (he/him) | I think... there's precedent for ignoring upstream's wishes to not package software in e.g. Debian | 13:57:38 |
| hexa | awesome | 13:57:59 |
| lukegb (he/him) | if it was a leaf package or of relatively little importance I'd be inclined to agree | 13:58:03 |
| hexa | let's add a note to these packages though, not to bother upstream at all | 13:58:11 |
| lukegb (he/him) | but it might be good to include something in the nixpkgs manual regarding our policy for this | 13:58:16 |
| hexa | if we decide to go that route | 13:58:27 |
| lukegb (he/him) | (when I say "upstream's wishes" I don't mean this upstream, I mean upstreams in general) | 13:58:38 |
 Mic92 (Old) | In reply to @hexa:lossy.network
indeed Just ignore him. | 14:52:31 |
| Mic92 (Old) | He cannot really tell us what to do. | 14:52:44 |
| Fabian Affolter | Not the fist time that the person in question is acting that way. | 14:53:54 |

Not the fist time that the person in question is acting that way. ok. if we starts attacking people on a personal level, we can block him. | 14:54:27 |

| Fabian Affolter | I try to go the "Fedora-way" and keep an open relation to upstream. Upstream and downstream project can benefit from each other | 14:55:28 |
| Mic92 (Old) | Sure but here it seems like there is no point and zero interest | 14:56:29 |
| Fabian Affolter |
"I don't like it" is not really a reason and asking politely doesn't make the request more legit | 14:59:16 |
