 9999years | would someone on the team be willing to help me get this over the line then? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/280592 | 01:13:20 |
 raitobezarius | infinisil is in this channel and I guess you just need a new review from them | 01:35:15 |
 infinisil | 9999years: Not sure why you're upset about this, this is the room for Nixpkgs architecture, Valentin isn't really involved in that, he's not in the Nixpkgs architecture team either, never has been, so there's really no need for him to be in this room. Though yeah he also doesn't appear to be in the #nix-dev:nixos.org room, which would make more sense (though he's low on availability this quarter) | 01:40:03 |

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/279619 is this staging backport fail innocuous? No idea, I can't spot any error really, might be worth retriggering ofborg CI (with @ofborg eval) | 01:43:41 |
 John Ericson | infinisil: I think it is just a time out because based branch is staging | 01:45:44 |
| John Ericson | but then wouldn't that affect every staging backport? | 01:45:52 |
| John Ericson | (unless we made it smart to use git mege-base release-xx staging-xx) | 01:46:10 |

would someone on the team be willing to help me get this over the line then? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/280592 Also that doesn't look related to nixpkgs architecture, so I don't see why it would be relevant specifically for this team/room. For requesting reviews #review-requests:nixos.org could be used, though #dev:nixos.org could be used to discuss PRs too | 01:47:14 |
| infinisil | John Ericson: Hmm I don't think the merge base would help here, I think ofborg tests on the merged commit | 01:50:28 |
| infinisil | John Ericson: I'll retrigger it, it's very weird how the main eval status check doesn't even have any details attached | 01:51:51 |
| infinisil | (previous failure for lib/tests/release.nix: https://gist.github.com/GrahamcOfBorg/5e5e13e93fd0df5a0bfd9a7987848460) | 01:52:32 |

| infinisil changed the room name to "Nixpkgs Architecture" from "Nixpkgs Architecture Team". | 01:57:54 |

|  @jade_:matrix.org joined the room. | 23:53:24 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | something I've found often very difficult to work with while doing nixpkgs work that i was reminded of in a recent review by infinisil and Robert Hensing (roberth) is that stuff that's not lib and is in fact packaging related is all slammed into all-packages.nix in the flat namespace with a bunch of packages that are not special
I'm wondering if stuff like fetchers, recurseIntoAttrs, newScope, pkgs.path and so on should get a new secondary namespace to make them easier to find out about.
also as an example, stuff like nix-update isn't obvious to new contributors who don't have long standing dms with raito to be told about them :p | 23:57:26 |
| 29 Jan 2024 |
| infinisil | jade_ Yeah fully agreed! I think we should totally have separate namespaces for the different "type" of values | 00:05:19 |
| infinisil | Kind of like a very primitive type system haha | 00:05:32 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | maybe the way to think about it also is how an ideal reference documentation would look | 00:09:33 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | and then organize based on how you'd think about that | 00:09:44 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | like fetchers, scopes, misc, idk | 00:10:32 |
| infinisil | 💯 | 00:10:50 |
| infinisil | pkgs/by-name is one small step in that direction, because that's a place where only packages are allowed, putting e.g. functions in there isn't allowed by CI | 00:11:26 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | yes good | 00:11:36 |
