For the next release cycle then since it’s a refactor
17:47:22
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonthat's fine17:47:35
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson(unless we want 2.33 to have 25.11)17:47:50

So the old PR should be closed then since it’s always behaved this way? I can double-check once more when I’m at the keyboard

@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson I kinda do want null as a new feature rather than bug fix, but yes that takes the urgency away 18:00:21
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonmarked it as draft18:01:10
@shine:proqqul.netTaeer Bar-YamI will make a PR to nixpkgs inshallah this week18:02:16
@shine:proqqul.netTaeer Bar-Yamand then hopefully they'll backport it to 25.11? we'll see18:04:56
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Taeer Bar-Yam: yeah sounds good 18:17:44
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn EricsonIt would be still nice to to know why non-structured attrs was working18:17:56
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonbut I just looked at 2.318:18:00
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonand having it be an empty string in non-structured-attrs mode also seems wrong18:18:19
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson in addition to null in structured attrs mode 18:18:27
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonhttps://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14755/files also here is a non-refactor version of just the warning and a test that I think would be nice to skip in before the release18:19:02

Here's the PR to nixpkgs: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/469652

I'm not sure who to ping for a review, as it's too low down in the infrastructure to have a maintainer, and a whole bunch of people have touched that file.
