@artem.types:matrix.orgArtemmaybe this link is worth adding to the (ever growing) list of links in the Matrix room description?..13:26:33
@b:chreekat.netchreekat Why does haskell98 show up under "Top 50 broken packages, sorted by number of reverse dependencies", but can't be found in any of the sections above it? 13:41:55
@artem.types:matrix.orgArtemi was asking the same question myself. Worth noting that many of those "top 50" are completely dead packages. So this list isn't very useful I think. It'd be great to implement the "dead" category besides the "broken" category, as discussed on the meeting (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/429810#issuecomment-3224849043 called "removed" there)13:46:02
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythere's an open PR for that13:54:47
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornIt is not in the sections above because those only cover maintained packages and their rdeps.14:02:27
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornBesides that section was very much developed on a best effort basis and was never very useful. 😄14:02:58
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornBut I guess when the PR mentioned by emily will be merged that list will be more useful.14:03:26
@b:chreekat.netchreekat Neat 14:04:26

In reply to @maralorn:maralorn.de
We sometimes do. But are you aware of https://github.com/cdepillabout/nix-haskell-updates-status ?
I wonder if we should move the line including that link to the very top of the PR template for discoverability

@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeAs a progress meter, it's arguably the most important bit of the description15:36:38
