 raitobezarius | When Debian has python3-zlib, it is a package | 15:13:26 |
 @kranzes:matrix.org | Arch has -git variant | 15:13:35 |
| raitobezarius | I know we are cheating because basically we just "absorb" whole language ecosystems, but no one prevent doing this into other ecosystems | 15:13:58 |
| raitobezarius | * 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 | 15:14:03 |
| @kranzes:matrix.org | Also, not including them would imply that basically only stdenv and rust packages are packages | 15:14:04 |

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 |

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 |
