I only get an
Error: [object Object]when I load
https://channels.nixos.org that page. Curl only reports a bunch of JS on
the site. Is that intended?
This is the intended behavior. As you know directory listing is not possible with S3 buckets. Because of this we included this index.html with a bit of javascript to help people browse the hierarchy.
On the current version I can use lynx (or any other text browser on the
installer) to navigate the channel list.
Text browsing is not going to be possible anymore. You can load an xml view from http://nix-channels.s3.amazonaws.com
The same applies to https://releases.nixos.org.
I think this is the right move. We have to empower more people to
contribute to everything relating to the project.
Thank you.
Did you follow up with them on the IPv6 topic? In 2020 that should be
part of technical baseline requirements. I accept that in the past this
wasn’t possible due to some AWS/NixOps/… issue(s).It is already bad enought that we require IPv4 due to strictly only
using GitHub.com for contributions. Seeing the website being deployed to
a v4 only service at this day makes my networking heart cry.
I’m aware of the topic. This is something that was not supported before and I’m not seeing it as a blocker. But it would be nice to have this at one point. There is a plan how to get this working but I would let @edolstra provide more information, since I’m not that familiar with all the details.
What will happen to https://nixos.org/~eelco ? I usually use that to
link to the Nix related papers (e.g.
https://nixos.org/~eelco/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf) that Eelco authored. The
preview (https://nixos-homepage.netlify.com) doesn’t seem to support
that. Would be a shame to see the relevant docs be only visible on
3rd-party websites.
There is definitely a lot of good content there. I’m sure @edolstra has a plan what to do with his website.
