@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Robert Hensing (roberth): Could you lead the NAT meeting on 27 June? I'll be on vacation then 14:17:58
@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth) infinisil sgtm 👍 15:02:27
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Robert Hensing (roberth): Thanks! https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/.github/blob/master/hosting.md should explain everything. Can you go through the one-time setup there? 15:34:39

@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgSo, what do we do with RFC 140?16:17:04
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.org Also infinisil if you want to update the alternatives section with the new ideas and arguments that came up during FCP (mainly that discussion thread with QuantenZitrone), now would be a good time 16:18:19
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil piegames: Yeah I'll do it this evening 16:19:10
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil

piegames: So, the rfc process doesn't state who decides over whether the FCP needs to be cancelled:

In most cases, the FCP period is quiet, and the RFC is either merged or closed. However, sometimes substantial new arguments or ideas are raised, the FCP is canceled, and the RFC goes back into development mode.

17:11:45
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI would expect the shepherd team to acknowledge that17:12:21
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI think it should definitely be the shepherd team, as the steering committee shouldn't be involved in deciding RFCs17:12:24
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaalso probably not a good time to mention the issue of how badly legacyPackages was named?17:14:11
@hexa:lossy.networkhexanaming things is bloody hard 😄 17:14:38
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil hexa: Is this rhetorical? Because that was just mentioned! See https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/140#issuecomment-1584882324 17:15:01
@hexa:lossy.networkhexauh, yes, it was rhetorical17:15:18
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI have not followed up on the thread, good that you mentioned it ig 🙂17:15:41
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil hexa: The "not" in your sentence confused me a bit, I wasn't sure if you're saying it is a bad time and I shouldn't have brought it up again, or if it's a good time to bring it up :P 17:17:19
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaI mean, him choosing legacyPackages was much more confusing than either units or shards17:17:42
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaso I don't get what the fuss is about17:17:57
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.org
In reply to @infinisil:matrix.org

piegames: So, the rfc process doesn't state who decides over whether the FCP needs to be cancelled:

In most cases, the FCP period is quiet, and the RFC is either merged or closed. However, sometimes substantial new arguments or ideas are raised, the FCP is canceled, and the RFC goes back into development mode.

Ack. I'm leaning on the "sometimes substantial new arguments", because while the opposition has been in parts strong, I'd argue that being for a proposal but against a name in it is not substantial
17:20:05
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil phaer: j-k: growpotkin ( Alex Ameen ): piegames: As shepherds of RFC 140, do any of you think niksnut's recent criticism is a substantial new argument that requires canceling FCP and potentially changing the RFC? 17:20:07
@piegames:matrix.org@piegames:matrix.orgHa, good timing ^^ IMO it is neither new nor substantial17:20:37
@niksnut:matrix.orgEelcoI don't think it requires cancelling the FCP17:21:53
