 @kranzes:matrix.org | Also, not including them would imply that basically only stdenv and rust packages are packages | 15:14:04 |
 Guillaume Desforges | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
I know we are cheating because basically we just "absorb" whole language ecosystems, but no one prevent doing this into other ecosystems via big automation it's not because it's smart that it does not count :D | 15:14:40 |
| Guillaume Desforges | I mean what the author meant last time | 15:15:04 |
 raitobezarius | I think other distributions don't understand we have advanced mechanisms to maintain them and tame them, but we also have a shit ton of Nodejs packages broken | 15:15:13 |
| Guillaume Desforges | my own interpretation that could be wrong would be: has Nix/Nixpkgs/NixOS's roadmap been influenced in features/priorization because of findings from the survey | 15:15:58 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Well we aren't counting only working packages are we? | 15:16:34 |
| raitobezarius | Hmmm, I think it's hard for Nixpkgs | 15:16:44 |
| raitobezarius | The information is too high level | 15:16:51 |
| raitobezarius | It's not like we know if users want better cross compilation infrastructure | 15:17:00 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Because if that's the case I wouldn't count anything in the AUR too 🤣 | 15:17:06 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | We're counting packages that worked at a certain point I think | 15:17:34 |
| Guillaume Desforges | In reply to @kranzes:matrix.org
We're counting packages that worked at a certain point I think if it worked at some point, it'll always work won't it ? ;) | 15:17:58 |
| raitobezarius | please perform your communal duties in https://zh.fail/ | 15:18:17 |
| Guillaume Desforges | just gotta find that one nixpkgs revision that worked haha | 15:18:21 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Yes if you use it from a specific commit | 15:18:23 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Yah | 15:18:35 |
| Guillaume Desforges | is it a marketing duty? | 15:18:36 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | In reply to @gdesforges:matrix.org
just gotta find that one nixpkgs revision that worked haha Fortunately we have tools to do that | 15:19:00 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | I wonder what the repology graph looks like now | 15:20:44 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Last time i looked unstable's name was out of the frame | 15:21:06 |
| raitobezarius | O:-) | 15:24:31 |
| Guillaume Desforges | so Valentin said it helped the Nix Documentation Team a lot | 19:59:13 |
| Guillaume Desforges | which one? | 20:05:58 |
| Guillaume Desforges | you mean this? | 20:08:02 |
| Guillaume Desforges | Redacted or Malformed Event | 20:08:04 |
| Guillaume Desforges | hmm can't send a picture here | 20:08:21 |
 abathur | someone in #nix:nixos.org reported that no titles appear on most of the guides on https://nixos.org/learn.html and I see the same (looks to be the case in the source and not just a style issue)
looks like it was working last time wayback hit it a couple weeks ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20230429203325/https://nixos.org/learn.html
| 20:44:27 |
| abathur | since the cross-compiling one has a link to the original on nix.dev, perhaps doc team activity is the cause :) | 20:53:27 |
| abathur | reported over in documentation room as well https://matrix.to/#/!avYyleMexqjFHoqrME:nixos.org/$5sUTnGVBk8EX14hlzPtGuRd4YJY_sl0Chc0rx9orF40?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev | 21:03:40 |
