@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_ * context - nix-heuristic-gc has fallen behind and i'm being told there are 3 ways it is broken by 2.31 in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/513339 18:20:27
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)There's the not so greatly maintained C++ doxygen, we should probably start deploying it somewhere it make it prettie/more readable18:21:02
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)* There's the not so greatly maintained C++ doxygen, we should probably start deploying it somewhere it make it prettier/more readable18:21:09
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)* There's the not so greatly maintained C++ doxygen, we should probably start deploying it somewhere and make it prettier/more readable18:23:36
@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_hmm... doxygen isn't always more useful than just reading the source, i'm more interested in seeing the active changes and the thinking behind them. e.g. if foo is going away, what is it replaced by?18:23:50
@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_should we be doing bar instead?18:24:11
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Hm is there such a case with niix-heuristic-gc?18:25:24
@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_i haven't looked very deeply into it yet19:19:46
@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_this was my first port of call to see if there's an easier way than reading loads of source & unearthing PRs19:20:39
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)I can probably help out with the bump19:38:37
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) ris_: I've cooked up the bumps locally 22:09:56
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Would you rather I yeeted a PR upstream?22:10:20
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)https://github.com/risicle/nix-heuristic-gc/pull/1622:21:15
@r_i_s:matrix.orgris_oh wow thankyou i will review tomorrow22:34:18
