 zoë (she/her) | hey, have you (or others) had time to look at this? it isn't urgent, but it'd be nice if i could access gerrit again for lixcon (although i probably won't be doing much on account of only coming friday and probably not having my personal laptop) | 09:33:25 |
| zoë (she/her) | * hey, have you (or others) had time to look at this? it isn't urgent, but it'd be nice if i could access gerrit again for lixcon, so i was wondering if there's any updates to this (although i probably won't be doing much on account of only coming friday and probably not having my personal laptop) | 09:33:49 |
| zoë (she/her) | though looking at the zulip and meeting notes for lixcon i'm guessing yall's hands are pretty full right now, so no pressure | 09:34:21 |
 delroth | raitobezarius: if you don't have bandwidth until tonight I'll take care of this | 09:46:19 |
| delroth | (late afternoon probably, AFK this afternoon) | 09:47:04 |
 raitobezarius | delroth: i'd be happy to pass this to you, tysm | 10:01:23 |
| delroth | zoë (she/her): sent you a DM | 17:13:17 |

 Primrose (== Léana) | Is there a reason that lix's nixos-module repo doesn't have tags for releases after 2.93? | 10:25:52 |
 K900 | Generally the NixOS module is unnecessary now | 10:28:24 |
| K900 | We should probably have a deprecation warning somewhere | 10:28:31 |
| K900 | But all the required stuff is in nixpkgs now | 10:28:41 |
| Primrose (== Léana) | I see, thanks ! | 10:29:11 |
 hexa | but that means I need to pick programs from the lixPackageSets manually, correct? | 10:29:46 |
| Primrose (== Léana) | Also, why do we need to overlay the packages depending on nix one by one ? here in advanced change | 10:29:46 |
| K900 | Yeah | 10:29:58 |
| K900 | Because Lix is not a drop-in replacement for cppnix | 10:30:09 |
| Primrose (== Léana) | Would it be possible to just do (final: prev: { nix = prev.lix; }) | 10:30:10 |
| K900 | In terms of C++ API | 10:30:13 |
| K900 | So anything that does not expect Lix will explode | 10:30:22 |
| Primrose (== Léana) | I see | 10:30:23 |
| Primrose (== Léana) | Good to know, thanks a lot! | 10:30:38 |
| zoë (she/her) | was the nixForLinking change not go through in the end? or is it just that the current packages haven't been corrected to use it? | 10:32:52 |
| K900 | nixForLinking did go through, but those packages in the example use the C++ API | 10:33:20 |
| K900 | So a global overlay won't help | 10:33:29 |
| K900 | Unless you also override nixForLinking, which will explode | 10:33:40 |

| zoë (she/her) | ooh, nix-eval-jobs, colmena & co use the c++ api? didn't know that | 10:36:32 |
 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Generally anything that depends on the c++ api should now be going through nixComponents for specific versions. | 10:50:25 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | And pkgs.nix is the cli | 10:50:55 |
