Robert Hensing (roberth) | gotta create some hype for the presentation! | 12:07:50 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | everyone better watch it | 12:08:09 |
davidak | is it intentional, that in this place it's called somePackage instead of some-package?

Robert Hensing (roberth) | the attribute name is derived from it, so it has to match that, not some other convention | 14:35:49 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | I feel like this didn't receive much attention in our communications, or did we | 14:36:59 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | perhaps also worth pointing out that we only require case preservation from the file system, not case sensitivity. We check for that in CI. | 14:38:43 |
infinisil | Oh but there is a mistake in the docs there. It should be some-package in all cases, thanks for the mention davidak | 16:59:39 |
infinisil | Will fix later | 16:59:43 |
infinisil | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/253668 | 17:30:36 |
Robert Hensing (roberth) | right, somePackage by itself is actually against guidelines lol | 18:20:22 |
infinisil | It is? | 18:21:36 |
infinisil |
The pname and the version attribute must not contain uppercase letters — e.g., "mplayer" instead of "MPlayer"`.
Huh TIL, from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs#package-naming

infinisil | We definitely have a lot of violations then | 18:22:52 |
