 hexa | also … sometimes using with should be ok 😄 | 00:49:32 |

 adamcstephens | Pkgs is so short :) I prefer to be explicit myself but understand others prefer with in this case. I’d say it’s ok but not my preference | 01:05:33 |
| adamcstephens | Lots of dependencies for this package | 01:08:45 |
| adamcstephens | If you insist I’ll use with ;) | 01:08:56 |
| hexa | how could I? | 01:09:39 |
| hexa | I think it's silly to complain about every with that we have in nixpkgs | 01:10:07 |
| hexa | it started at toplevel with lib and now they're coming for meta =with lib; | 01:10:30 |
| hexa | * it started at toplevel with lib and now they're coming for meta = with lib; | 01:10:57 |
| adamcstephens | I just tend not to use them out of preference. I don’t really like a global with lib, but smaller scopes seem fine to me | 01:11:52 |
| adamcstephens | I’m definitely not trying to convince others | 01:12:10 |
| hexa | I tend to inherit from lib | 01:12:29 |
| adamcstephens | Yeah that’s better for sure | 01:12:44 |
| hexa | and with lists like the one above I generally don't like to repeat myself | 01:12:52 |
| adamcstephens | I like that I can read every line and know where it came from. If there were some other variables in the `let` included in this list, it could be less clear using `with` what the source was. | 01:15:15 |
| adamcstephens | I do agree this list is probably past the length most people would side with me | 01:15:58 |
| adamcstephens | Any other thoughts? I’ll update that and the mddoc | 01:16:43 |
| hexa | I saw both on mobile, hence commented here | 01:17:36 |
| hexa | let me check | 01:17:38 |
| adamcstephens | where was the mdDoc deprecation annouced? | 01:20:51 |
| hexa | good question | 01:21:12 |
| adamcstephens | it's not deprecated in code and is listed as a noop in the manual, so i guess it's just silently dropped now | 01:21:36 |
| adamcstephens | https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#lib-options-mddoc | 01:21:42 |
| adamcstephens | or silently passed through | 01:21:58 |
| hexa | yeah, the manual is markdown, that's all I know | 01:22:05 |
| hexa | and for some reason that includes the options | 01:22:21 |
| hexa | I had no idea you could pass a list to mkPackageOption | 01:24:39 |
| adamcstephens | yeah, someone else did that before me. mkg maybe | 01:26:27 |
| hexa | the negation in the firewall assertion 🙈 | 01:26:48 |
| adamcstephens | yeah that's some ugly logic. but... feel free to give me an equivalent alternative :) | 01:28:11 |
