 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Looks that way. oraclejre was v8, jre is presumably whatever the latest in Nixpkgs is
| 04:45:42 |
 emily | yeah. should probably pin it to 8 | 04:47:37 |

| 04:47:40 |
| emily | wow, this software is actually at the latest version. | 04:48:22 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | The tempatation to change the last commit message to oracle{jdk,jre}: dehaunt (drop)
| 04:52:47 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Removing 416 lines from Nixpkgs is cathartic | 04:54:01 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Should we continue to have a javaPackages attrset?
| 04:55:24 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | I'm wondering if we should drop Docear haha: https://github.com/BeelGroup/Docear-Desktop
| 06:13:44 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Officially (according to a comment on the issue tracker that is linked nowhere on the website), they only support OracleJDK, but people have been using OpenJDK without issues

Should we continue to have a javaPackages attrset?
it will be compatibility stubs by 25.05 if I have my way | 06:15:16 |
| emily | the only reason OpenJDK isn't already by-name is that I need to teach it Darwin | 06:15:29 |

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 |
