<worldofpeace> Jan Tojnar: did u have an opinion or suggestion for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/projects/30#card-45843182 ?
<worldofpeace> maybe ideally upstream is structured differently
<worldofpeace> on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/98316#issuecomment-699020879 Jan Tojnar Should we open an issue in gnome-session to move gnome-session-ctl into its own project?
<jtojnar> worldofpeace: I do not see much chance of that succeeding
<jtojnar> the only chance I see for these kind of splits is having meson support them natively like CMake does
<worldofpeace> okay, so you're suggesting we just downstream patch that?
<jtojnar> yes
<jtojnar> if we are feeling lazy, we could just have a postInstall that would delete everything except the program
<jtojnar> and override the program in gnome-session by a symlink
<worldofpeace> Jan Tojnar: this looks like it really could be a standalone tool https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-session/blob/master/tools/gnome-session-ctl.c
<worldofpeace> it sounds like you're talking about like what we wanted for malcontent-ui
<worldofpeace> * Jan Tojnar: this looks like it really could be a standalone tool (outside the gnome-session repo) https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-session/blob/master/tools/gnome-session-ctl.c
