interesting, iso_minimal clrosure went down by 300 drvs but zeromq was added
<samueldr>
from zero to borg faster?
<gchristensen>
(not sure I follow :x)
<samueldr>
borg being built on zeromq, zeromq in the closure is infiltration :^) *gets out*
<gchristensen>
haha got it. I suspected it might be a joke
<samueldr>
oh no, it's rabbitmq, all those mqs :/
<gchristensen>

"I discovered that neither the stock Fedora 29 or Ubuntu 19.04 aarch64 kernels encountered this issue. The reason for this is they set CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y instead of CONFIG_PREEMPT=y in their kernel config. Would this be a viable solution for NixOS?"
<Synthetica>
gchristensen: Honestly, the maintainers.nix file could use a slight overhaul, also to infer the github username from the attribute name, if unspecified

The nixpkgs-update license also doesn't mention nixpkgs-update, but "repology-api"
<gchristensen>
in general, it is probably better for nixpkgs-update to adopt a standard license
<qyliss>
It looks like first line of a CC0 statement
<qyliss>
I think it's their phrasing
<zimbatm>
also note that WTFPL is not OSI-approved :p
<gchristensen>
where is our nearby friendly lawyer
<zimbatm>
according to wikipedia CC0 is not OSI-approved
<gchristensen>
according to https://choosealicense.com/ it is for non-software (" open licenses used for non-software material ranging from datasets to videos")
<samueldr>
(in my case MIT was an obvious choice and I was surprised I didn't do it already, I assumed that was done :))
<zimbatm>
yes because software can be subject to patents (unfortunately)
<zimbatm>
it adds another dimension to the problem apparently
<globin>
that's why generally ASL > MIT :)
<infinisil>
I usually just pick MIT because that's what everbody does
<infinisil>
But looking into it, ASL or GPL sound better
<infinisil>
globin: Why ASL > MIT in your opinion? And what about GPL?
<gchristensen>
iirc it handles patents explicitly and MIT can get you in trouble w.r.t. them?
<samueldr>
>> Apache license version 2.0 makes sure that the user does not have to worry about infringing any patents by using the software. The user is granted a license to any patent that covers the software. This license is terminated if the user sues anyone over patent infringement related to this software. This condition is added in order to prevent patent litigations.
<samueldr>
(IANAL) though that's only for patents held by the whoever made the software, so e.g. I make something, I own the patent, under ASL2 I can't go after you for using what I released (except for the exception)
<infinisil>
Hm, so that sounds good
<samueldr>
though AFAIK if I write something, license under ASL2, but someone else in parallel patents the same thing, no protection
<infinisil>
And the additional thing with GPL seems to be that everything that depends on GPL code, needs to use GPL as well
<infinisil>
I *think* that's something good for free software at least
<samueldr>
that's the concept behind copyleft
<samueldr>
(if you wanted a name for it)
<qyliss>
gchristensen: CC0 is the only CC license you can use for software
<qyliss>
oh, but OSI couldn't come to a decision on it, interesting

<globin>
infinisil: yes, what gchristensen and samueldr said, that's why rust pushed a lot of libraries to relicence as ASL
<globin>
if you want copyleft, then use some GPL variant
<infinisil>
Cool that sounds like a good idea then for future projects
