 dotlambda | I think we should focus on those nodePackages that are used elsewhere in Nixpkgs. Whatever is left then we could drop unless someone is explicitly still using it | 22:51:28 |
 dish [Fox/It/She] | that would be: postcss, coc-ultisnips, @tailwindcss/*, node-gyp-build, mathjax, grunt-cli, browserify, semver, prettier-plugin-toml, node2nix, and tiddlywiki(aliased now, still using the nodePackages entry in its module) | 22:55:16 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | i may have missed some but thats what i found from a quick rg | 22:55:24 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | also some packages use nodePackages.nodejs or nodePackages.npm which we should clean up | 22:55:47 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | also some packages use nodePackages{,_latest}.nodejs or nodePackages.npm which we should clean up | 22:55:54 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | really dont like those tailwind packages staying in nixpkgs but i think at least all but one have lockfiles at least and we can treat them like the coc-* packages | 22:56:42 |
 Tomodachi94 (they/them) | A few of the tailwind packages look like they might be meant to be installed through npm? aspect-ratio is one | 22:57:52 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Oh, aspect-ratio is gone | 22:57:57 |

A few of the tailwind packages look like they might be meant to be installed through npm? aspect-ratio is one yeah but theres things in by-name and haskell packages that use them afaik | 22:58:52 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | for some reason | 22:59:01 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | iirc one of them is ema which i thought was removed since its sridware | 23:00:07 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | but the override is still there | 23:00:43 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | nodePackages.he is unmaintained and doesn't have a lockfile, dropping | 23:01:52 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | (No changes in seven years) | 23:02:10 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | 👍️ | 23:04:33 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Stepping away for a few minutes. Note to self: mention recode in the drop message | 23:04:37 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Oh it is gone! I was looking at the wrong tab on search.nixos.org | 23:15:10 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Updated the GitHub project to mark the dropped packages as such | 23:23:27 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | For the TiddlyWiki thing: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/465085 | 23:27:54 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | The tailwindcss Nixpkgs package has support for specifying plugins from a derivation, which is probably something we should drop in favor of packages specifying that through package.json, and then having them fetchNpmDeps | 23:37:53 |

The tailwindcss Nixpkgs package has support for specifying plugins from a derivation, which is probably something we should drop in favor of packages specifying that through package.json, and then having them fetchNpmDeps works for me since that seems a lot less janky | 23:49:23 |

For the TiddlyWiki thing: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/465085 added to merge queue and added 25.11/25.05 backport labels | 23:50:38 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | thanks! 🫡 | 23:50:45 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | also if you do any other PRs about this please req my review on github just in case I miss it here | 23:51:41 |

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Awesome. Right now I'm working on getting aws-cdk into top-level, since it looks like it's very popular | 00:57:04 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | i think i have a stash with some work on it in my local fork | 00:59:25 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and some other packages there too | 00:59:31 |
| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | * | 01:00:35 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | nope never mind | 01:00:34 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | and looking, the other work is months and months old and really isnt useful | 01:00:55 |
