 ris_ | 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 | 18:20:10 |

 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | There's the not so greatly maintained C++ doxygen, we should probably start deploying it somewhere it make it prettie/more readable | 18:21:02 |

| ris_ | 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 |
| ris_ | should we be doing bar instead? | 18:24:11 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Hm is there such a case with niix-heuristic-gc? | 18:25:24 |
| ris_ | i haven't looked very deeply into it yet | 19:19:46 |
| ris_ | this was my first port of call to see if there's an easier way than reading loads of source & unearthing PRs | 19:20:39 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | I can probably help out with the bump | 19:38:37 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | ris_: I've cooked up the bumps locally | 22:09:56 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Would you rather I yeeted a PR upstream? | 22:10:20 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | https://github.com/risicle/nix-heuristic-gc/pull/16 | 22:21:15 |
| ris_ | oh wow thankyou i will review tomorrow | 22:34:18 |

 John Ericson | the current 2.24-maintenance commit becomes ee1ce... Eelco :) | 16:13:24 |
| John Ericson | Now we just need an ee1c0... to do better, once we hit that, Nix is complete! | 16:14:09 |

| binarydigitz01 | Hi, I wanted to try out the experimental feature "recursive-nix", and could not find a way to pass sets like pkgs.emacs and even pkgs itself. I tried building my emacs configuration using nix recursive method:
https://bpa.st/GXXA
Could anyone tell me if its possible to pass sets to nix-instantiate some other way?
| 14:26:01 |
| binarydigitz01 | If there isn't a way currently, I was thinking there could be a nix function that takes a derivation and the arguements needed to build the derivation, then call the nix-initialise itself and pass the arguements via sockets | 14:30:40 |
