@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric does anyone else think we should remove the "natural deduction" proof from the nixpkgs manual? 11:50:10
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetrici don't think it really belongs to the main body of a technical manual11:50:31
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetricit would be good as an appendix, perhaps11:50:37

@b:chreekat.netchreekatAgreed. I've always struggled with that whole section12:37:24
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetricYeah it’s like to rewrite it13:16:01
@asymmetric:matrix.dapp.org.ukasymmetric* Yeah I’d like to rewrite it13:16:10
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn What section is this? 13:16:59
@b:chreekat.netchreekatThe one linked right above, https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#ssec-stdenv-dependencies15:17:09
@jonringer:matrix.orgjonringer

I was thinking of adding subsections to the release notes, how do people feel about:

  • Backward Incompatibilities
    • Changes
    • Deprecations
    • Removals
      ...
19:23:30
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)What would be the line between changes and removals? Like, would an option’s type or semantics changing be considered a change?19:31:32
@jonringer:matrix.orgjonringer type: yes. semantics: depends?19:35:14
@jonringer:matrix.orgjonringer

What would be the line between changes and removals?

Change:

- `services.thelounge.private` was removed in favor of `services.thelounge.public`, to follow with upstream changes.

Removal:

- The MoinMoin wiki engine (`services.moinmoin`) has been removed, because Python 2 is being retired from nixpkgs.

@jonringer:matrix.orgjonringerI'll do an example PR19:38:37
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)Ah you mean like that, got it.19:54:25
@winterqt:nixos.devWinter (she/her)As long as we explicitly define what should go where then I definitely agree with this change :)19:54:52
@jonringer:matrix.orgjonringer So, the headers allow for us to drop a bunch of "The options <foo> <bar> ..." "The package pkgs.<pkgname>" prose 19:57:24
