 infinisil | * Profpatsch: It's been usable ever since Nixcon, and a lot of people are already using it. After the above PR (and one more), it's going to be enforced for new packages | 01:22:27 |
 profpatsch | infinisil: can’t there be a pkgs/by-name/fo/foo/overrides.nix? | 01:22:43 |
| profpatsch | Instead of putting overrides in all-packages.nix | 01:22:50 |
| profpatsch | feels like a weird step back if all-packages.nix is still needed for that | 01:23:06 |
| infinisil | It's not a step back, all-packages.nix has been required so far, now it's only required less | 01:23:35 |
| infinisil | In reply to @profpatsch:augsburg.one
infinisil: can’t there be a pkgs/by-name/fo/foo/overrides.nix? Profpatsch: It's a future change that we could do, but for now nothing has been decided, it's not in RFC 140 | 01:24:17 |
| profpatsch | ok | 01:24:34 |
| infinisil | Profpatsch: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0140-simple-package-paths.md#allow-callpackage-arguments-to-be-specified-in-argsnix | 01:25:03 |
| profpatsch | what should I do for the skawarePackages namespace? | 01:25:11 |
| profpatsch | I only alias packages on the toplevel from that namespace | 01:25:27 |
| infinisil | Yeah that continues working no problem | 01:25:43 |
| infinisil | Profpatsch: CI will complain and tell you what to do if something isn't allowed :) | 01:26:23 |
| profpatsch | but I guess it’s hard to transfer that into the new style then | 01:26:26 |
| profpatsch | well, I’ll see | 01:26:42 |
| infinisil | Future work, lots of future work! Small steps :) | 01:26:47 |
| profpatsch | I don’t maintain that many packages anymore | 01:26:49 |
| profpatsch | I hope at one point somebody does the work so much of the tranfer can be automated :) | 01:27:14 |
| infinisil | Future work | 01:27:38 |
| infinisil | Profpatsch: Automating the migration is also part of the RFC, that's gonna be next after enforcing it for new packages | 01:28:05 |

| profpatsch | ah, nice | 01:30:02 |
