 infinisil | Nice, the pkgs/by-name CI check runs in about 30 seconds! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/actions/runs/6026577029/job/16349848006?pr=237439 | 15:00:39 |

| infinisil | Question for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237439:
We can almost declare all top-level packages in pkgs/by-name, except ones that should be declared using e.g. python3Packages.callPackage, libsForQt5.callPackage, etc. | 18:28:28 |
| infinisil | Now there's two options, either: | 18:29:05 |
| infinisil |
- Keep the category hierarchy alive only for new packages of that kind
| 18:29:39 |
| infinisil |
- Deprecate the category hierarchy and introduce something like
pkgs/alt-callPackage, where you can put all packages of that kind
| 18:30:39 |
 K900 | We can absolutely get rid of libsForQt5.callPackage and qt6Packages.callPackage | 18:31:04 |
| infinisil | Both kind of suck but also aren't very significant, but I think in order to keep the number of changes to a minimum I'll go with the first one | 18:31:07 |
| K900 | At least | 18:31:08 |
| K900 | But we can do that in a follow-up | 18:31:17 |
| infinisil | It's a bit tricky because there seems to be some cross compilation shenanigans sometimes | 18:31:46 |
| K900 | In fact I'd really like to get rid of those and maybe get smaller better scoped package sets for KF6/Plasma6/KDE Gear stuff | 18:31:50 |
