Artem | maybe this link is worth adding to the (ever growing) list of links in the Matrix room description?.. | 13:26:33 |
chreekat | 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 | i 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 |
emily | there's an open PR for that | 13:54:47 |
maralorn | It is not in the sections above because those only cover maintained packages and their rdeps. | 14:02:27 |
maralorn | Besides that section was very much developed on a best effort basis and was never very useful. 😄 | 14:02:58 |
maralorn | But I guess when the PR mentioned by emily will be merged that list will be more useful. | 14:03:26 |
chreekat | Neat | 14:04:26 |
alexfmpe | 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 | 15:36:11 |
alexfmpe | As a progress meter, it's arguably the most important bit of the description | 15:36:38 |
