 infinisil | @room As with last week, I have now cleaned up https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237439, part 1b of RFC 140. Please review this until Tuesday, where we have a meeting scheduled to do a final review and merge (if everything looks good)! The meeting is on 2023-09-05 15:30 CEST in https://meet.jit.si/nixpkgs-architecture and anybody is invited, but the most members of the Nixpkgs Architecture Team are expected to be there. | 21:12:33 |
| infinisil | This will allow people to start using pkgs/by-name 😄 | 21:14:00 |

| infinisil | @room: The next NAT meeting will take place in 1 hour at 15:00 CEST - meeting link - live stream - meeting notes.
And immediately following that at 15:30 CEST will be the final review and ideally merge of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/237439! Notably this part won't be recorded (and I also want to consider stopping recording of the NAT meetings fwiw)
| 11:58:34 |
| infinisil | As always, anybody is free to join either meeting | 11:58:56 |
| infinisil | tomberek: John Ericson: Are you joining? | 13:02:50 |
 tomberek | No, I have an unexpected issue to attend to. | 14:43:26 |
 Wanja Hentze | Couldn't make it this week, but congrats on the merge! | 14:56:15 |

 figsoda | I will work on nix-init to support this, hopefully we should see a lot more in the near future | 19:18:49 |

I will work on nix-init to support this, hopefully we should see a lot more in the near future Ah neat! Note that the folder structure should be treated as internal to Nixpkgs, there is no API guarantee that it will not change over time. Considering that, it would be great if we could figure out a proper API that Nixpkgs could expose for this. Maybe it should be as simple as pkgs.preferredDirectoryForPackage "foo" = ./pkgs/by-name/fo/foo | 19:22:47 |
 @piegames:matrix.org | Also note that there will hopefully be multiple by-names in the future | 19:23:22 |
| figsoda | my plan is to keep the latest stable release of nix-init compatible with nixpkgs master | 19:24:54 |
| figsoda | and this should all be easy to opt out so the worst case isn't that bad | 19:25:36 |
| infinisil | Well such an API will happen at some point anyways. It has many more applications. E.g. nix edit could also use it to figure out the file to edit without even having to evaluate anything (meaning it works even if there's a syntax error!) | 19:26:52 |
| infinisil | And position information for packages in general can be known without much evaluation | 19:27:12 |
| infinisil | But yeah so just be aware that it's all internal to Nixpkgs for now. Any tools built on top of a hardcoded pkgs/by-name will eventually break. | 19:28:24 |
| infinisil | (maybe) | 19:37:36 |
