 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | TIL that it is unmaintained | 20:19:38 |
|  patka joined the room. | 20:20:08 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | I do feel like there should probably be some sort of 'blessed' or at least canonical solution to "produce a binary cache for a given set of expressions" but I don't see a reason why that would need to be Hydra specifically | 20:20:33 |
 raitobezarius | The alternative is also to do a call to form a new team to maintain Hydra | 20:23:26 |
| raitobezarius | or at least clearly identified people who would like to take up the maintenance | 20:23:42 |
 infinisil | John Ericson is doing some Hydra maintenance | 20:24:37 |

The alternative is also to do a call to form a new team to maintain Hydra With maintaining you mean like basically putting hydra on life support so it works good enough for the infra team? | 20:24:45 |
| infinisil | I wouldn't consider it unmaintained | 20:24:59 |
| raitobezarius | So shall we put maintainers=@JohnEricson in the repo? | 20:25:52 |
 John Ericson | I don't exactly want to be stuck with it | 20:26:03 |
| @janik0:matrix.org | From the few times ajs rambled about hydra he said it has quite a few database schema problems, currently will be affected by y38k and a lot more. | 20:26:12 |
| raitobezarius | As I imagine | 20:26:12 |
| John Ericson | I have had less time in general in 2024 for programming stuff | 20:26:42 |
| John Ericson | more IRL things | 20:26:49 |
| raitobezarius | I know that ma27 also does maintenance for his own needs | 20:26:49 |
| raitobezarius | And few others folks | 20:26:51 |
| raitobezarius | But it seems like to me that Hydra is in a similar situation as the one for NixOps | 20:27:01 |
 @delroth:delroth.net | with the major difference that nixops has replacement projects, hydra doesn't really, at least for the hydra.nixos.org use case (smaller scale why would you bother) | 20:28:00 |
| @delroth:delroth.net | (but it's not like hydra.nixos.org is anywhere close to a local optimum for the hydra.nixos.org use case either...) | 20:28:32 |
| @delroth:delroth.net | * (but it's not like hydra is anywhere close to a local optimum for the hydra.nixos.org use case either...) | 20:28:44 |
 K900 | I think it should stay under the org, because it is part of the org infra | 20:29:00 |
| K900 | But the documentation should say that you don't actually want to use it probably | 20:29:26 |
| @delroth:delroth.net | GSoC project: rewrite the whole hydra frontend in anything that isn't Perl? | 20:29:30 |
| @delroth:delroth.net | I'd even take javascript at this point I think | 20:29:36 |
| @delroth:delroth.net | (please don't) | 20:29:39 |
| raitobezarius | It can, but I guess it can be rename to hydra-for-nixosorg and people can have nix-community/hydra if they want a community maintained Hydra | 20:29:46 |
| @janik0:matrix.org | In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org
I wouldn't consider it unmaintained everyone I know only uses hydara because their is no real alternative and you have to use something. There is some people devloping smaller and larger scale alternatives but most of them are still in early development like https://github.com/typhon-ci and https://codeberg.org/gorgon/ | 20:30:05 |
| raitobezarius | Gorgon does not aim to be Hydra CI replacement AFAIK | 20:30:27 |
| raitobezarius | But Typhon aims to be small scale Hydra, yes | 20:30:35 |

GSoC project: rewrite the whole hydra frontend in anything that isn't Perl? feel free to do a pr if you want to mentor it :D | 20:30:43 |
