infinisil | alejandrosame: Also seeing something similar here https://github.com/ngi-nix/ngipkgs/issues/51 :) | 14:26:49 |
@alejandrosame:matrix.org | Yeah! I'm also thinking about how to introduce "namespaces". I guess this is really what currently maps to per-framework/language package sets. | 15:07:11 |

infinisil | I want to discuss deviating slightly from the RFC. In particular I think it would make sense to disallow definitions in all-packages.nix like foo = callPackage ../by-name/fo/foo/package.nix { }, but only when the argument is { }. | 19:53:27 |
infinisil | Currently the RFC specifies that an arbitrary argument is allowed here, but there's no good reason to allow { } arguments. | 19:54:51 |
infinisil | The main reason I want to change this is because I want to have a check to make sure new packages don't add themselves to all-packages.nix unless necessary (which is when it's not { }). | 19:56:08 |
