 @piegames:matrix.org | TL;DR: it *is* that bad | 09:48:56 |
 infinisil | Talk here | 09:49:58 |
 PowerUser64 | The talk was very good! It's actually what made me aware of all this | 09:51:06 |
| PowerUser64 | I'm definitely going to miss having all the audio packages in the same folder when this is implemented | 09:52:47 |
| infinisil | Want to help with the categorisation rfc to have a replacement? :D | 09:53:32 |
| PowerUser64 | I'd love to! | 09:53:54 |
| PowerUser64 | I have no idea how to help or what help is needed | 09:54:03 |
| infinisil | Really just review and participate in the discussion, it's all happening in the rfc comments for now | 09:54:47 |
| PowerUser64 | cool | 09:55:06 |
| PowerUser64 | I'll go read what they're all saying | 09:55:24 |
 K900 | "All the audio packages" | 09:55:41 |
| * K900 remembers Pipewire is still in development/libraries | 09:55:47 |
| PowerUser64 | Okayyy it's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be perfect to do its job well | 09:56:19 |
| PowerUser64 | it doesn't really matter where the packages are at the end of the day as long as there aren't two folders with the same name in the same directory | 09:57:22 |
| PowerUser64 | Maybe there's another reason to the organization that I'm missing | 09:58:57 |

it doesn't really matter where the packages are at the end of the day as long as there aren't two folders with the same name in the same directory Not sure I get that. That can never happen, because of file systems! | 10:03:43 |
| infinisil | Well, at least all the filesystems I know use a key-value representation of directories, you can't have the same key twice | 10:04:38 |
| PowerUser64 | I mean the computer doesn't really care where the file is | 10:06:10 |
| PowerUser64 | and organizing things by a way that classifies them beyond "this one's name starts with NE" seems like it's more useful to people who use the repo | 10:07:55 |
| PowerUser64 | * and organizing things by a way that classifies them beyond "this one's name starts with NE" seems like it's more useful to humans | 10:08:19 |

| infinisil | Well, RFC 140 is accepted now, we can't change that | 10:10:27 |
| PowerUser64 | yeah not much that can be done now | 10:10:46 |
| PowerUser64 | Redacted or Malformed Event | 10:11:08 |
| PowerUser64 | I hope it all goes well in the end | 10:11:34 |
| infinisil | I really think most people do agree with how it's going. I don't think there was a single person arguing for keeping the directory structure throughout the RFC | 10:13:00 |
| infinisil | Being able to tell new contributors "if you want to package foo, put it here" is very nice | 10:13:51 |
| PowerUser64 | Maybe #146 can help remedy some of my frustrations | 10:15:14 |
 lassulus | I think cateories should be a list in the meta field rather than a folder stuff is in | 10:16:01 |
