 K900 | Well shit | 08:49:19 |
| K900 | I just found ANOTHER bug in those two lines | 08:49:25 |
 Arson Copperflame | While you're at it: command grep should probably be something like ${pkgs.gnugrep}/bin/grep to avoid unfortunate surprises on exotic configs | 08:51:12 |
| K900 | God I hate bash | 08:53:38 |
| Arson Copperflame | Understandable | 08:55:59 |
| K900 | Kinda want to replace it with a Python script at this point | 08:56:14 |
| K900 | Or a Rust thingy | 08:58:20 |
| Arson Copperflame | The problem is that this is extraInit, so that won't work. Python's got its own problems. I've come to like powershell, but then I had to pass commands (as strings) from powershell to bash (for the tests so pwsh -> docker or wsl -> syschdemd -> bash) and the gates of hell opened before me | 08:59:01 |
| K900 | Haha | 09:00:18 |
| K900 | eval $(${shim}/bin/split-path) goes brr | 09:00:34 |
| K900 | (actually doing that btw) | 09:00:42 |

 Sandro 🐧 | Should we ask https://github.com/msteen/nixos-vscode-server to adopt into nixos-wsl? | 09:58:49 |

I want to be able to fix my things. | 09:59:44 |

Should we ask https://github.com/msteen/nixos-vscode-server to adopt into nixos-wsl? I'm running that and it works fine. In theory, we could just import that flake | 10:00:04 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Same, just was thinking if this would make things easier for us | 10:02:07 |
| Sandro 🐧 | I am not sure if we should do the updater in the distro launcher | 10:17:38 |
| Sandro 🐧 | IMO it probably opens a new area of problems | 10:17:56 |
| Arson Copperflame | It's a script at a fixed location inside the tarball (/nix/wsl-installer/updater.sh currently), that the launcher runs. It's possible to run the updater without the launcher and the release notes will describe both options | 10:20:11 |

| Arson Copperflame | The magic 22.11 progress-bar just turned green. Now is your chance to come up with possible release names
(or emergency blockers that should be in the release) | 10:43:03 |

| Sandro 🐧 | Why are we not using a standard path like something in /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/? Then we would not need to link that ourself. | 12:42:19 |
| Sandro 🐧 | I mean the updater in itself is a bad idea. NixOS can be configured in so many different ways especially with flakes that it will break for a good chunk of people and I don't want to accumulate all kinds of workarounds for that. | 12:43:20 |
| K900 | When would the updater be triggered anyway? | 12:44:23 |
| Arson Copperflame | When you run the script or nixos.exe update | 12:44:49 |
| K900 | Maybe we should just make it link to some upgrade guide | 12:44:52 |
| K900 | So it's not required for anything external? | 12:45:04 |
