 matthewcroughan | like if it's an esoteric compiler/stdenv you're talking about I'm sure that's fine, as long as someone's maintaining it | 13:30:23 |
| matthewcroughan | otherwise if it's like gccX where X is old, then no | 13:30:41 |
| matthewcroughan | you can't keep everything always forever, that's what you use old releases of nixpkgs for | 13:31:02 |
| matthewcroughan | and then you can maintain that in your own repo, with your own overlays, if you're truly serious about it | 13:31:16 |
| matthewcroughan | If it's "not that hard" as you say, then why not just keep an overlay? Not that hard either? | 13:31:55 |
 bake.monorail | I think compilers could be an exception due to their role in enabling building other software. but yeah, I feel like we're delving more on opinions rather than hard facts about what's specifically hard. | 13:32:16 |
| matthewcroughan | I mean, provide it as an overlay or flake then if you feel that way? | 13:32:48 |
