2024-10-23 Nix team meeting minutes #189

Wednesday “triaging” session

Attendees: @edolstra @roberth @ericson2314 @tomberek and a guest

Diverging from the intended meeting format due to circumstances, we’ve briefly discussed a security issue which is close to publishing and we’ve collaborated on the Nix team slides for the Nix State of the Union talk for NixCon. You will see the outcome of both very soon.
We have done a bit of review though:

Review

Restore input substitution by edolstra · Pull Request #11701 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

Discussed: we may not want to commit to final in the final design, and have an attributes attribute instead. It will be renamed to __final for now.
Added to milestone 2.25

Rewrite build system in Meson · Issue #2503 · NixOS/nix · GitHub

@Ericson2314 has a plan to solve the functional test issue involving more dependencies to be specified.

`getFlake` not available through C API · Issue #11399 · NixOS/nix · GitHub
