 @federicodschonborn:matrix.org | Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I have noticed that the by-name check runs even when only adding new comments to the PR, does it really need to? | 01:02:53 |

I don't think adding comments should trigger it | 14:43:11 |

 @adam:robins.wtf | pardon if this was addressed in the by-name RFC, but was it every considered to have a packages.nix that could allow by-name to support multiple packages in a single directory? i'm still thinking over multi package support | 15:25:02 |
| infinisil | adamcstephens 🐝: Considered yes, but not thought out. Rather deferred for the future to keep it as small as possible for now | 15:31:59 |

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | infinisil: what do you think about having a function.nix indicate that what ought to exist in the by-name directory is a function, not a derivation? | 16:00:02 |

infinisil: what do you think about having a file named function.nix indicate that what ought to exist in the by-name directory is a function, not a derivation? I think this was initially attempted by the RFC | 16:02:14 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | In reply to @piegames:matrix.org
I think this was initially attempted by the RFC I see https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/simple-package-paths/pull/34 which is where the restriction to just derivations is introduced, but I don't see a lot of justification for why nix-build -A name always builds is there. | 16:11:46 |

infinisil: what do you think about having a file named function.nix indicate that what ought to exist in the by-name directory is a function, not a derivation? I don't think this was discussed actually. Personally I think we should have a clearer separation of derivations vs e.g. derivation-builders | 18:01:49 |

 willbush | I would have come, but I was viewing the eclipse that happened in the US. 😎 infinisil could you check out https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/302218. I was wondering if we could limit how often the actions? | 01:40:47 |
|  SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) changed their display name from SomeoneSerge (migrating synapse) to SomeoneSerge (void). | 13:24:41 |

| infinisil | Philip Taron (UTC-8): Something like inherit (import <nixpkgs/api> {}) packageSets builders lib nixos ci; | 19:13:12 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | But it wouldn't extend to what's passed in to callPackage-style files, though. | 19:13:48 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | So lib would be passed in, substitute would be passed in, cargo would be passed in, even though one's a "module", ones a function generating a derivation, and one is a derivation | 19:14:30 |
| infinisil | Ah I see, I think this should be done too ideally! | 19:15:07 |
