I'm not sure that lib/systems/supported.nix contains sufficient information to serve as the platform tier list. This file is just the system doubles, and the support tier needs to take into account libc (musl/glibc), static/dynamic linking, gcc/clang, ABI, etc. If anything I think lib/systems/supported.nix would be autogenerated from the platform list, rather than the other way around.

| raitobezarius | would probably fly | 22:36:36 |
| raitobezarius | I am very interested into that too | 22:36:41 |
| raitobezarius | I can help reviewing, etc. | 22:36:44 |

 asymmetric | As soon as I’m back at my laptop I’ll look into this too, it should def be documented. It’s sad that the best documentation for this is the wiki | 12:35:20 |
 toonn | raitobezarius: supported.nix has since been disappeared from the repo. | 13:22:01 |
| toonn | That issue wasn't even meant as a draft of an implementation really. Just *something* to start discussion. | 13:23:13 |
| toonn | Looks like supported.nix was kinda replaced by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/lib/systems/flake-systems.nix | 13:37:01 |
| toonn | Which is now just a flat list with comments indicating support tiers. | 13:37:22 |
| asymmetric | btw i'veopened a separate issue for this, lmk if it's a duplicate of something else https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/244686 | 18:53:52 |
| toonn | asymmetric: Oh, just pinged you on the PR I updated. | 20:44:16 |

 i97henka | I won't be able to join today's meeting. Have a good session! | 13:32:55 |

asymmetric: Oh, just pinged you on the PR I updated. i'm primarily interested in documenting the tiers in the manual, as that's where most users would go and check, imo. the manual could/should reference the location in nixpkgs where this is codified, if one exists. Not sure where that would be, after reading amjoseph's review | 13:54:19 |

 proofconstruction | Won't be at the meetings today or Thursday, taking a break from computers to go fishing (stream processing) | 19:17:53 |
| proofconstruction | Well I guess that sent late. Anyway | 19:18:11 |

|  @federicodschonborn:matrix.org changed their profile picture. | 01:57:05 |
| asymmetric | I'm not sure I understand what's happening with the "postponed" column on the board. 99% of the issues there are done. How does that happen? | 09:39:54 |
| asymmetric | also, what's the purpose of the "prioritized" column? Prioritized for whom? AFAIU, work is taken on on a "willing to do this" basis, i.e. if somebody is assigned to a task, then it's prioritized "for them". | 09:41:54 |
| asymmetric | * also, what's the purpose of the "prioritized" column? Prioritized for whom? AFAIU, work is taken on on a "willing to do this" basis, i.e. if somebody is assigned to a task, then it's prioritized "for them". Is it supposed to capture "prioritized for the whole team"? If so, I don't see that as reflecting how the team has worked so far, and in any case, it takes up space without being used much. So I propose to remove it | 09:42:41 |

Also, does anyone know why the automation which should move merged PRs and closed issues to "done" isn't working? Is it just that it's not retroactive? | 09:47:38 |
| asymmetric | infinisil: just created this: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/245358. Not sure how it interacts with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/244056, I guess whichever gets merged first needs to take the other one into consideration | 10:22:32 |
