Is there a reason why spaces are allowed in nix url fragments? https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/8c4534164632cdad7b9286e401034321bc5a7444/src/libutil/include/nix/util/url-parts.hh#L14 Back-compat? Historical reasons? Who knows… | 08:21:05 |

 Lisanna | Hm, the DeprecatedWarnSetting is a little lackluster. It's only useful for settings that have a replacement. It would be nice to make build-hook a deprecated setting for awhile before it's removed, although we won't have a migration guide until at least after the work on extending stores is completed | 16:10:05 |
 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | What do you mean by the extending stores work? (I’m unfamiliar with what the refers to) | 17:58:39 |

| Lisanna | I also realized it is just for one particular kind of setting, I just went and made my own Setting wrapping class | 01:35:22 |

 dramforever | ideas on whether https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15572 should be backported and if so to what versions? it fixes a test "failure" on linux 6.19+ | 08:27:25 |

| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Sure. You should be able to add backport tags | 09:06:27 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | (Nixpkgs committers do have triage perms iirc) | 09:06:46 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | As for the versions, probably everything that is in nixpkgs | 09:07:16 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | * Sure. You should be able to add backport labels | 09:16:36 |

 Arian | I was wondering. Would a mode where nix evaluator stays alive across invocations make sense? Similar what Buck2 does ? | 17:49:37 |
 Jeremy Fleischman (jfly) | Morgan (@numinit) built this madness: https://github.com/numinit/flack | 17:53:30 |
| Jeremy Fleischman (jfly) | seems like it should be a way to trade off RAM for more eval caching | 17:54:38 |
| Arian | In general would be interested to steal things from buck | 18:17:17 |
| Arian | They integrate with watchman to invalidate evaluation on file changes | 18:17:28 |
| Arian | Actually they use it for not just eval and also build... But just for eval is already interestinh | 18:17:52 |
