 emily | let me try it | 15:53:32 |
 K900 | Oh, it also fails to rebase randomly if someone touches flake.nix or .editorconfig or whatever at nixpkgs root | 15:53:42 |
| K900 | Because as far as the old history is concerned THAT'S THE THING | 15:53:57 |
| emily | well it's just a one-time merge and we shouldn't be using the normal Git merge algo for it anyway (that's what subtree merges are for in the first place) | 15:54:20 |
| emily | but let me see if I can reproduce | 15:54:22 |
| emily | I'm pretty nak on rewriting the entire history unless we absolutely have to | 15:54:34 |
| K900 | Honestly I'm very tempted to just yeet the history at this point especially since like 90% of it is garbage | 15:54:40 |
| K900 | ...oh no | 15:55:20 |
| K900 | OH NO. | 15:55:22 |
| emily | I will be super unhappy if you break my blame | 15:55:23 |
| K900 | We have a problem | 15:55:31 |
| K900 | There's actual Calamares source code in that history | 15:56:17 |
| K900 | Which is very much GPL | 15:56:24 |
| K900 | And we are not relicensing it | 15:56:27 |
| K900 | But we probably don't actually want it to be in our history | 15:56:38 |
| K900 | For obvious reasons | 15:56:40 |
| emily | I don't see why | 15:56:52 |
| emily | the files are tagged appropriately at the relevant point in the history | 15:56:56 |
| K900 | But also like that history is objectively garbage | 15:57:32 |
| K900 | Because none of that code matters | 15:57:35 |
| K900 | And it's only there because vlinkz had no idea how to calamares | 15:57:44 |
| emily | I will be really unhappy if you break my git blame and git bisect. | 15:58:03 |
| K900 | I wonder if git blame even works | 15:58:27 |
| K900 | Without the history rewrite | 15:58:33 |
| K900 | Also I can 100% promise you that history won't be bisectable anyway | 15:58:48 |
| K900 | Because the specific changes on the installer will be specific to nixpkgs revisions | 15:59:05 |
| K900 | And none of that will linearize properly | 15:59:12 |

| emily | lol okay | 16:01:41 |
| emily | I guess I'm fine with rewriting then. though it'd be nice to add the package prefix if we're going to be doing that | 16:02:58 |
