@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI read things on pointer comparisons from emily and things about flakes13:51:54
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusCan someone TLDR me?13:51:57
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusor repeat what they want from me13:52:00
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyi.e. you can implement an ordered-by-attrname == in Nix today (modulo pointer equality)13:52:13
@k900:0upti.meK900https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/3180671cabeb6a6010057770731e12761ed5666c cppnix broke flakes again13:52:16
@k900:0upti.meK900We could cherry-pick13:52:27
@k900:0upti.meK900Also the nix profile add thing from the other day13:52:37
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusman13:52:39
@k900:0upti.meK900I think it's fine to pick these small-ish changes that should merge cleanly into the migration13:53:01
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusYes, but this change is non trivial from a libexpr perspective13:53:16
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusNow url Value have context strings?13:53:26
@k900:0upti.meK900Yeah that one might be too much13:53:34
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI need to think13:53:47
@k900:0upti.meK900I was thinking about the nix profile add one more13:53:47
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthe nix profile add is controversial because this change has no raison d'etre and I understand that some folks in the team are getting really pissed off by this irresponsible behavior13:54:41
