 John Ericson | that PR is suppose to have 0 behavioral changes outside of diagnostics | 17:46:45 |
| John Ericson | not supposed to help or hurt 25.11 | 17:46:58 |

that PR is suppose to have 0 behavioral changes outside of diagnostics For the next release cycle then since it’s a refactor | 17:47:22 |
| John Ericson | that's fine | 17:47:35 |
| John Ericson | (unless we want 2.33 to have 25.11) | 17:47:50 |

| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @Ericson2314:matrix.org
that PR is suppose to have 0 behavioral changes outside of diagnostics 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 | 17:54:06 |
| John Ericson | I kinda do want null as a new feature rather than bug fix, but yes that takes the urgency away | 18:00:21 |
| John Ericson | marked it as draft | 18:01:10 |
 Taeer Bar-Yam | I will make a PR to nixpkgs inshallah this week | 18:02:16 |
| Taeer Bar-Yam | and then hopefully they'll backport it to 25.11? we'll see | 18:04:56 |
| John Ericson | Taeer Bar-Yam: yeah sounds good | 18:17:44 |
| John Ericson | It would be still nice to to know why non-structured attrs was working | 18:17:56 |
| John Ericson | but I just looked at 2.3 | 18:18:00 |
| John Ericson | and having it be an empty string in non-structured-attrs mode also seems wrong | 18:18:19 |
| John Ericson | in addition to null in structured attrs mode | 18:18:27 |
| John Ericson | https://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 release | 18:19:02 |

| Taeer Bar-Yam | 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.

 eveeifyeve | I am doing some work on making the nix-build-support work on windows without duplicate symlinks and subdir has anyone found with meson to do a symlink and subdir? | 13:49:04 |
| eveeifyeve | so like nix-meson-build-support is in libstore and others but I want to be able to symlink it with meson and subdir it or at least reference it so we can avoid having to do double symlinks in the nix package manager for windows. | 13:52:07 |
