WeetHet | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org fwiw Nix 2.3 is also buggy. it just has different bugs. It's simpler | 18:20:43 |
emily | and I suspect Nixpkgs will not support being evaluated with 2.3 for much longer | 18:20:45 |
WeetHet | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org and I suspect Nixpkgs will not support being evaluated with 2.3 for much longer Small features can be easily added | 18:21:41 |
WeetHet | And it's so much easier to fix bugs when touching every code path doesn't break some flake-related stuff | 18:22:20 |
WeetHet | The other option would be to take Lix's code and tear everything flake-related out of it | 18:27:01 |
raitobezarius | In reply to @weethet:catgirl.cloud The other option would be to take Lix's code and tear everything flake-related out of it we push it to its own libflakes and then someday we will see how to split it up (while providing it as part of the some normal distribution of Lix obviously) | 18:28:06 |
WeetHet | Nix 2.3 has 40k sloc, while 2.26 has 89k | 18:44:02 |
WeetHet | And nix 2.26 has 7 times as many files as nix 2.3 | 18:45:03 |
