Thanks for the pointer! It looks like that's exactly what I need. Strange this has been merged into master over a year ago but it hasn't been released yet. And there have been quite a few releases the last year...

Good to see this happen! I would like a RFC on floating-point support in Nix. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on that myself.

Re: [Nix-dev] RFC for RFCs
RFC 0001 has been merged! The repo still needs to be moved to the NixOS org but we're getting there :) To keep the ball rolling, let me know if you want to try drafting a RFC. The whole process is probably still a bit rough and we need to get a couple of RFCs trough the process to make it better.

Re: [Nix-dev] RFC for RFCs
The RFC for RFCs is ready for a final round of review. Unless there are major objections I would like to move forward with it, with the idea that we can always improve the process with further RFCs. https://github.com/zimbatm/rfcs/pull/1 On Sun, 12 Feb 2017 at 20:17 Maarten Hoogendoorn wrote: > Also see the notes that Arian took during the BoF session at FOSDEM: > > We had a very spontaneous NixOS discussion panel at FOSDEM. > > I took minutes.

Re: [Nix-dev] RFC for RFCs
That would be amazing! I actually have an email sitting in my draft folder proposing Nix Enhancement Proposals (NEPs). IMHO one of the things we aren't very good at is getting larger changes merged or rejected. We attract a lot of smart people because Nix is pretty awesome. These smart people then do substantial work, submit a PR and the PR bitrots. This is highly demotivating. An RFC process would allow us to get to an accept / reject early on, with the expectation that accepted RFCs will be merged when the technical work is done. I'll add more specific comments to your PR. ~ On 12 February 2017 at 15:12, zimbatm wrote: > Hi all, > > we discussed of introducing a RFC process during FOSDEM.

[Nix-dev] RFC for RFCs
Hi all, we discussed of introducing a RFC process during FOSDEM. The goal is to help discussion for large or controversial changes which typically grind to a halt. Here is an initial proposal based on the one from the Rust community: https://github.com/zimbatm/rfcs/pull/1 . Please let me know what you think.
