 emily | i believe we could also just add the header to / in addition to /nixexprs.tar.xz and greatly improve the user experience by not having to remember and type nixexprs.tar.xz
this would also be closer to the non-flake urls you'd use with nix-channel

@joerg:thalheim.io would you be fine with me implementing that as well? | 15:26:00 |
 Mic92 | @me:indeednotjames.com: sure just ping me | 15:39:41 |
| Mic92 | Not going back to it till tomorrow | 15:39:53 |
 John Ericson | hexa (signing key rotation when): how's hydra master been doing on your personal deployment / how's that staging build going? | 16:48:54 |
 K900 | staging-next went fine on h.n.o | 16:49:34 |

| K900 | @vcunat re: Plasma 5 ISOs, I want to keep them around for 25.05 | 14:53:40 |
| K900 | But I'm yeeting as much of it as I can get my hands on on the day of branch-off | 14:54:02 |
 Vladimír Čunát | Oh, OK, so it's intentional. | 14:54:32 |
| K900 | The intent is basically to give Plasma 5 users a full release to migrate | 14:56:35 |
 emily | you don't need a Plasma 5 ISO to reinstall an existing Plasma 5 system, right? | 15:41:37 |
| emily | is it worth the cache space? | 15:41:42 |
| K900 | You don't, but we're also about to combine all the ISOs anyway | 15:43:24 |
| K900 | And having Plasma 5 in that should not add much | 15:43:37 |
| K900 | (supposedly) | 15:44:01 |
| Vladimír Čunát | New staging-next-24.11:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/384543 | 16:00:05 |
| emily | I don't like that. that encourages new 25.05 users to consider installing a Plasma 5 system that will break next release | 16:18:24 |
| emily | if we're doing that it should at least be tucked behind a deprecated/compatibility submenu | 16:18:43 |
| K900 | I was going to update the installer | 16:18:51 |
| K900 | To say it's deprecated | 16:18:54 |
| emily | hmm. | 16:19:00 |
| K900 | Actually here's a good nudge lol | 16:19:05 |
| emily | it seems like bad UX to choose a first-class option in the menu and then get the installer telling you you shouldn't do it | 16:19:08 |
| K900 | Remove the Plasma 5 option from the live session | 16:19:13 |
| emily | what's the actual advantage of having a Plasma 5 desktop on the installer? | 16:19:15 |
| emily | or being able to make a Plasma 5 install with the graphical installer? | 16:19:25 |
