samueldr: shouldn't be too complex to port this
<Mic92>
the exposes a lot of options we don't need in the first place
<samueldr>
yes, but as it's part of nixos, I feel like it should expose those, and it would be nice to port it in a way that is portable across webservers
<samueldr>
I've been using/updating another one of those modules lately, and the way it works is nice
<samueldr>
oh, and I especially feel we should upstream those changes, that's why I think it needs to be polished
<makefu>
samueldr: i also think it would be nice to have something similar to extraSubservices for nginx (or other web servers). right now all web services i integrate use explicit configuration of nginx plus the module of the service.
<Mic92>
In the first place mediawiki should be its own package
<Mic92>
From there one could look how to share as much as possible code between apache and nginx
<samueldr>
I'm willing to work on it, but I'm stilll unfamiliar with all that's possible with nix
<samueldr>
there's already so much stuff builtin or in stdlib
<samueldr>
what would be the best way to get comments / reviews on such a task
<samueldr>
IRC definitely isn't
<samueldr>
pull requests aren't made for it
<samueldr>
the mailing lists?
<makefu>
yes the ml might be a good place for this
<makefu>
with IRC you have to be very lucky
<samueldr>
:)
<makefu>
you could try in #nixos-dev for that kind of work
