| infinisil | Robert Hensing (roberth) tomberek John Ericson growpotkin ( Alex Ameen ): I opened some PR's and will likely open more, please review them this week so we can iterate asynchronously for the planned RFC next week, I recommend watching the entire repository: https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/simple-package-paths/pulls | 11:36:23 |
 Hari | growpotkin ( Alex Ameen ): Is your handle derived from Kropotkin, the Russian political theorist? If so, are you also an anarchist? Off-topic, but I have to ask haha | 22:19:19 |

 growpotkin1 | Hari: yes and yes | 22:24:10 |
| Hari | This is the only correct answer | 22:24:41 |
| growpotkin1 | Honestly I think Petr just really liked nerding about ants and birds' migratory patterns.
Had no idea there was anything political going on there 😉 | 22:26:53 |

| infinisil | @room: The next meeting will take place in ~10 minutes, this time we're planning to open an RFC PR for https://github.com/nixpkgs-architecture/simple-package-paths - meeting link - live stream - meeting notes | 15:20:18 |
| infinisil | tomberek: Joining? | 15:32:16 |
| infinisil | We just opened the RFC https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/140 🎉 | 16:39:32 |
 nbp | As part of the drawback, I would have expected to see the "lack of searching by category, such as web-browsers" | 17:09:01 |
 Rick (Mindavi) | The categories weren't very helpful anyway, I guess | 17:10:49 |
| Rick (Mindavi) | But maybe that could be explained somewhere if it isn't yet | 17:11:03 |
| infinisil | nbp: It's there, first drawback item :) | 17:13:14 |
| nbp | Well, I found it useful, to look for the number of games or browser packages. | 17:14:41 |
| nbp | * Well, I found it useful, to look for the number of games or browser packaged. | 17:14:43 |
| nbp | how does repology helps finding packages from similar categories? | 17:16:29 |
 @piegames:matrix.org | Btw I think you might need an exception to the path rule for update scripts. Or at least have a closer look at common patterns there and somehow deal with them | 17:18:23 |
| infinisil | piegames: Update scripts can be specified in passthru.updateScript in the package itself, the stable boundary requirement doesn't conflict with that I'm pretty sure | 17:20:26 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | No the thing is you usually do cd ../../../.. to get to the root for then running nix commands. | 17:21:33 |
| infinisil | piegames: Oh I see | 17:23:27 |
| @piegames:matrix.org | Did you do any test runs already? | 17:24:40 |
 Sandro | there is a test PR, that should also be linked as an example | 17:25:13 |
| infinisil | piegames: So that file reference requirement is mainly meant for Nix files, so that evaluation doesn't fail. I shouldn't apply to e.g. update scripts. But yes those paths should definitely be fixed somehow | 17:25:20 |

No the thing is you usually do cd ../../../.. to get to the root for then running nix commands. TBH we should abstract most of those workarounds away and get away from writing those scripts from zero. | 17:25:46 |
| Sandro | so a bit in the direction what update-source-version is doing | 17:26:19 |
