 John Ericson | 2.28 after 25.05 is componentized | 20:30:36 |
| John Ericson | 2.29 in all branches has componentized (2.29 is very unimportant on 25.05 except for new version dogfooders) | 20:31:03 |
| John Ericson | Also when we re-introduce nix git, we should use the componentized version for that | 20:32:23 |
| John Ericson | how does that sound? | 20:32:27 |
| John Ericson | I would like to merge Robert Hensing (roberth)'s open PR right away, for sake of the newer versions and git, and also because I like how it makes a package set for the dependencies, even with the monolithic package for Nix itself | 20:33:19 |
| John Ericson | Also, since you two (and others) have such strong opinions about this, it would be great if you signed yourselves up as maintainers in Nixpkgs for this :D | 20:35:00 |
| John Ericson | especially because, as ElvishJerricco mentioned, actually the mkMesonPackage stuff and whatnot really ought to not be Nix-specific, but reused for other things like (potentially) systemd | 20:35:32 |
 emily | SGTM, especially if we can get a componentized-compatible overrides interface for patching/build flags/env.NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE on the monolithic one | 20:40:43 |
| emily | sorry, I definitely do not have the time and do not feel I understand the packaging well enough to :( | 20:41:03 |
| John Ericson | I guessed I mixed up my metaphors here, what about just on the monolithic package? | 20:42:03 |
| John Ericson | (poly package maintenance for systemd is an orthogonal question) | 20:43:04 |
| emily | is the idea to keep the monolithic package around? I assumed that we'd want to switch to the componentized one early in 25.11 to shake out any issues well ahead of release | 20:56:43 |
| John Ericson | emily: yes, yeah the idea is to get rid it early in the cycle | 20:59:57 |
