@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Something like, these are the new cool feature why you want to upgrade or switch to nixos too.13:05:54

*honest
We could condense them into a list. Something like Major updates: postgresql 13 → 14, samba: 4.15 → 4.16, coreutils: 8.4 → 9.2, … Then anyone who is interested can skim the list
13:06:08
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Yup. Deciding what those are might be A Process, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.13:06:21
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)(I'm not even sure how we'd figure this out, for changes that aren't currently in the WIP notes.)13:06:42
@vcunat:matrix.orgVladimír ČunátI'd prefer to drop any except where there's a significant incompatibility.13:07:23
@vcunat:matrix.orgVladimír Čunát (and except very significant packages like nix) 13:07:41
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)(insignificant) updates, you mean?13:07:46
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)ah13:07:47
@vcunat:matrix.orgVladimír ČunátIt's default that we update packages to latest versions.13:08:01
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Basically things that don't really matter unless you look for it, and nothing that warrants further explanation?13:08:16

@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92We could just point people to the package search, if they want to find out what versions changed too.13:09:55
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92So only package upgrades where manual intervention is required would be listed.13:10:26
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)So that's for the packages portion -- what about NixOS? Do we want to list new modules, are there relatively a small amount usually that it would make sense to list them all)13:11:10

@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) I think that might be a good thing to still do, but maybe we can list a few "major" modules and give them a more detailed overview of what they can achieve that would be annoying before? 13:17:26
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Not really sure of an example though.13:17:39
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Last release I started listing all modules.13:17:52
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92But to be honest I think there were too many13:18:01
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92I just didn't had to much time to filter13:18:12
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) So we can go with listing/showing off "major" ones I guess, depending on how that looks? 13:18:35
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Yeah, and then maybe switch to a big paragraph just naming them.13:19:01
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92So the bigger ones get an explanantion while the smaller ones could be linked to13:19:27

Naming the ones we don't call out you mean)

@linus:schreibt.jetztLinux HackermanIdeally the modules would all have docs that can be linked to :>13:19:56

options.html hides /s
13:20:18
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 I was thinking of just doing something like: [modulea](alink), [moduleb](blink), [module](clink) 13:21:09
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her) Yes, but are we also keeping the "major" modules explanation thing, or are you saying doing that in place of it? 13:22:00
