 Robert Hensing (roberth) | discussions about changes to negated exceptions are too complicated for me | 16:04:23 |
 @piegames:matrix.org | Does anybody have the rights to mark some of the old discussions as "resolved"? | 16:09:28 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | infinisil: I must agree with Roberth here that since the last change you are sending mixed signals on the currently discussed point, and I'm unsure as to what's your current position on this. | 16:11:05 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | I think that we all actually agree and there is just a communication issue, but I'm unsure | 16:11:36 |

infinisil did I miss a negation somewhere? Maybe clarify that callPackage foo { } is only a default that can be overridden in all-packages.nix? No there's no missing negation. I'm proposing a change to the RFC, I pushed those change to the branch, and am highlighting what changed with the review comments. Previously we had an exception that allowed all-packages.nix to do callPackage foo { /* non-empty */ }, but I'm proposing to remove that exception | 16:43:35 |

Exception to what rule? I think potentially having arguments in a callPackage call is standard? | 17:39:26 |
| infinisil | piegames: It's an exception that allows arguments to package functions to not be pkgs.${name} | 18:42:34 |
| infinisil | And I think that would be a really nice property, for users to just know that from { hello }: that hello points to pkgs.hello and not something else | 18:43:19 |
| infinisil | But I concur that custom arguments are something we need right now, there's no good alternative to it yet | 18:43:35 |
| infinisil | I'll re-add this to the RFC again, I think it's good we discussed this again :) | 18:44:57 |

| Hari | You could also use Dan Firth's Horizon to do it, but really it should support both imo | 02:48:36 |
 Wanja Hentze | might want to ask in #dream2nix:nixos.org instead | 02:50:25 |

 tea | I think this is maybe in the scope for this team?
Where should I store things that are
- generated
- not needed at eval time
- but nixpkgs-tooling specific
- too large (like 2mb) to include in nixpkgs
| 15:40:10 |
| Wanja Hentze | I don't have an answer but maybe look at https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/109 | 15:44:40 |
 Alyssa Ross | noob_tea: can you explain again to me what this file is? | 16:30:31 |
