I am wondering if this page should be put up for deletion. The show is over, it's not notable, and there are errors on the page.

I don't want to go through the process of doing the deletion myself, but I wouldn't mind if someone else did.

@popey I see it as of note. Wikipedia is also a record of history at this point. So it would be odd to delete it. If it has wrong sections you may push a "inaccurate" label onto it.

Don't think a full on deletion should ever happen here, however.

I like , I do not like what has happened to it. is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up.

@jakehamilton Im personally watching for the board's response. They might have something brewing coming.

Also if we are hard forking. I would love to see it GPL'd.

@jakehamilton Another huge thing would be tiering the core and "extras" packages. Currently there is no great way to distinguish between core packages and loose fun packages inside nixpkgs. It would be nice to have it a bit more seperated and give a lot more focus to a good core.

@AngryAnt @jakehamilton Companies frustrate me to no end, and permissive licensing so often ends up being ultimately hurtful on the long game. See the history of the BSDs and Linux, and which won the world, and which has a lot of "extentions" from companies that never get formally up-streamed.

I am however curious how this is a dealbreaker.

@AngryAnt @jakehamilton Not so much an "anti company" thing, but more so protecting Nix (or possibly Aux here) from further shenanigans down the line. It should be a thing for the community, by the community. We are not here to cater to companies every desire. The whole point of the fork is that Nix is too conflicted with its ties to companies like Audril and Determinate Systems now. Hence the more formalizing idea of using a GPL/copyleft license for the fork.

Update: Eelco went behind the back of the board that he himself is on to publish that all too dreadful Determinate Systems blog post.

I feel like something is shifting internally, and I'm holding my hopes up to see what comes next week. :blobfoxcofeowo:

I think the most hurtful thing with seeing in flames and people leaving for other immutable distros is...

NixOS was strong for its module system, not so much its immutable nature.

The rapid development you could do, and test that locally, sewing together an entire fleet in a matter of hours, without much of a thought to the minor details was amazing.

Lets remember to take the NixOS module system with us.

Eelco writing a response to all the criticisms against him on DetSys instead of the NixOS discourse is just the nail in the coffin for me.

I'm fed up with . I think I'm just gonna take a break from it and the movement for a bit. Sorry. :blobfoxcry2:
