 hexa | unstable for me means … watching out for curveballs that arrive via staging | 17:08:57 |
 hab25 | Damn, just realized I shouldn't do this right now because I use home-manager which has specific package version requirements. Therefore, if I use rolling versions for both nixpkgs and hm then I expect would they often become unsynced due to hm lagging behind in updating its modules.
I wish hm were part of nixpkgs =(.

 K900 | HM master is what you're supposed to be using with nixos-unstable | 17:19:10 |
| K900 | And it works fine pretty much always | 17:19:13 |
| hab25 | Hmm, considering it, again with the safety net of rollback... | 17:22:49 |
| hab25 | It's an easy problem for hm to solve actually, it just needs version assertions, e.g. if the following file had an assert pkgs.alacritty.version == "0.7" somewhere in it https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/780be8ef503a28939cf9dc7996b48ffb1a3e04c6/modules/programs/alacritty.nix#L14 | 17:24:10 |
| K900 | Applications generally don't break configuration formats that often | 17:25:08 |

| zmitchell | Is there a place where all metadata attributes are described? For instance, there's unsupported and available, which I wasn't able to find in either of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/pkgs#meta-attributes or https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-standard-meta-attributes. | 17:32:20 |
 Tristan Ross | Not really, there's more internally ones like available which are in pkgs/stdenv/generic/check-meta.nix and have some comments. | 17:35:49 |
| 4 Feb 2026 |
 Qyriad | checkMeta isn't even enabled by default, so in practice anyone can just put anything in there | 18:33:09 |
 Alyssa Ross | Doesn't ofBorg have it enabled? | 19:55:15 |
| Alyssa Ross | Pretty sure | 19:55:23 |
| Alyssa Ross | or I guess probably not OfBorg any more but the other CI | 19:55:48 |
| hexa | certainly not ofborg anymore | 20:26:01 |
