Hi!
I've asked to add glib-2.30-take2 branch to hydra 3 times. When I asked on
IRC, Rob asked me if I've already defined a small subset of packages to
build.
First, I never been told to do it.
Seems to be a standard practice of a few similar branches that was not
documented
Second, it makes

Second, it makes no sense to build only a few packages on glib upgrade.
Every package that depends on glib may fail. A few packages that do not
depend on glib will add no overhead to hydra since their builds will be
cached from the trunk jobset.
Well, it does make sense

You could hook into the make files instead. make is passing tokens to

I think, the best way to deal with this is applying a patch in your nix

Actually, the core that is complex enough to need collaboration is quite

What exactly *is* NixOS's policy?
Also not clearly defined, but so far, it seems to have been
functioning reasonably well without people feeling the need to fork.
Its lack also has created a few weird and unfiortunate outcomes, and
currently we seem to have a chance to get more.

Its meant for all those small changes which are no worth creating pull
requests for, too.
I can't imagine a change not worth creating a pull request. Creating a pull
request is two clicks, accepting it is one click.
Not just two clicks, but pulling the trunk into your fork which is not

Sending patch to mailing list can be done with a single

So yes, for simple fixes pull request is more effort than contributing

No doubt, we _must_ still accept contributions by `git format-patch` from
those who prefer it.
I would say that the
It looks like the main project will be conservative enough to be simple

Are you basing this assessment only on the git situation over the last 6 days,
or do you consider the project pre-git to be fairly conservative?
This is based on the recent (couple years) history of the actual
Well, it was just an example. My point was merely that it's not enough to
point out a problem, whenever possible you should point out solutions and
be willing to do the legwork necessary to implement them.
The real problem is that for many things it does look like the problem
is in value
- There is a reasonable public place where I can see every package
expression used by any committer. So, if someone uses a git-head version
of kernel, it would be nice to see what overrides were needed.
Do you mean some sort of repository of local overrides? That might be nice, do

Many webapps will need to specify that a database library is present, but
may not care which one.
Heh: if the web app is so careless to not specify which database to use,
there's no reason why other system components should care about a busted web
app.
The point is: sometimes it can use

Frankly, from the technical point of view I would prefer a set of
overridable knobs gradually added to the packages in the main set. This
gives easier discoverability which is nice. Of course, this clashes with
the struggle for simplicity of the main expression or something else
like that.

Well, I believe the Nix expression language is Turing complete right (although
I have no proof), so it is as powerful as any other general purpose language.
It is obviously turing complete if you have arbitrarily large lists of
strings. The proof is just direct translation of Turing machines
Hi all,
The hardware I use for building my channel is not very powerful. It
does a good job of building derivations, but packing nar files with xz
takes ages.
My channel is nothing special, It just builds the configurations for a

Of course, if you look at it you will see that you can easily generate
such a file yourself and nix-build it.
I was looking at that just now :)
But I would like to go a step further and just patch nix-push a bit.
It doesn't need to copy anything I guess.
