 evils | i agree that knowledge about packaging gives a fairly nice overview of some core concepts | 22:55:58 |
 jeremiahs | In reply to @evils:nixos.dev
open a package request?
(i may be underestimating the average user's willingness to package stuff, i only got into Nix because i was learning about packaging...)
I have 3 or 4 I need to bring in right now. Some already have requests waiting for others to pick up and bring them in. | 22:56:40 |
| evils | i just think i couldn't convince my friends to use Nixpkgs / NixOS by forcing them to sit through a packaging lecture
and i don't think they'd be interested in receiving one voluntarily, no matter how many times i see them run into issues NixOS solves | 22:57:07 |
| jeremiahs | Here is the thing. If packaging lectures are available more people have an opportunity to learn to do them meaning over time less packages hang in an issue request. | 22:58:20 |
| evils | oh, i absolutely think this kind of stuff should just be available to those that are looking for it | 22:58:43 |
| evils | i'm thinking about a general audience at my local hackerspace's conference xD | 22:59:15 |
| jeremiahs | My mind is oriented about proper expectations to the user. | 22:59:41 |
| jeremiahs | I don't want to lie to them. | 22:59:48 |
