 emily | In reply to @tomodachi94:matrix.org
I'm wondering if we should drop Docear haha: https://github.com/BeelGroup/Docear-Desktop
what's droppable about this repo? | 06:15:46 |
 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | No commits in 7 years, activity in the issues section has dropped (one issue in 2023, one in 2021, 4 in 2020, and so on)
| 06:16:49 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | If it doesn't actually work with OpenJDK that could be another reason | 06:17:07 |
| emily | https://docear.org/docear/blog/ I like how the two latest updates are identical | 06:17:53 |
| emily | well | 06:17:57 |
| emily | about an identical component | 06:18:00 |
| emily | I'm more concerned about dropping the Atlassian stuff | 06:18:33 |
| emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/353049 | 06:18:35 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Apparently Docear is a fork of JabRef?? https://github.com/BeelGroup/Docear-Desktop/issues/483#issuecomment-177749524
| 06:19:02 |
| emily | since that seems to have gone a long time without security updates historically | 06:19:07 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Yeah that's very troubling, I hope nobody is relying on that in production
| 06:19:27 |
| emily | looks like they rather integrate a fork of JabRef or something | 06:19:40 |
|  raboof joined the room. | 17:10:30 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Yet another reason for us to use by-name: take a look at "sqldeveloper" in all-packages.nix | 18:08:21 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Gotta love cobwebby dependencies on security disasters | 18:08:38 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I wonder what the world would be like if these megacorporations with thousands of employees hired someone to maintain their Nix expressions in Nixpkgs | 18:13:34 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | * Yet another reason for us to use by-name: take a look at "sqldeveloper" in all-packages.nix (hint: it's an obscured dependency on oraclejdk) | 18:19:12 |

| emily | they'd probably sue us for licence noncompliance. | 19:56:23 |
| emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/353049#issuecomment-2453102624 definitely time to drop Atlassian | 20:00:10 |
| emily | this Oracle JDK removal is turning into quite the spring clean | 20:00:26 |
| emily | literally nothing using it has been something we should keep | 20:00:31 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Should we split the non-JDK package drops into separate PRs, or keep it all in the Dehaunting PR? | 20:05:05 |
| emily | I'd just roll it up… less effort and nobody cares about these packages | 20:06:27 |
| emily | you could do Atlassian separately I guess if you feel it's worth it, but realistically I'll be merging it all at once | 20:06:50 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I'll leave it all together per the reasons you provided | 20:07:15 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | (CI would complain about being unable to find oraclejdk in the Atlassian stuff as well) | 20:07:57 |
| emily | my suggested throw: throw "Atlassian software has been removed, as support for the Atlassian Server products ended in February 2024 and there was insufficient interest in maintaining the Atlassian Data Center replacements"; or something | 20:09:58 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I'll use that verbatim | 20:10:16 |
