lgtm, the old name is long deprecated
i've never realized this can be the case, i'm truly sorry about that! if nixpkgs has an official policy to make it sfw to avoid such incidents, i'm fine with dropping it from the tree and only maintaining it in my own flake. |
The attempt to establish policies of such kind unfortunately opens the door wide to arbitrariness, for which there are already numerous precedents. In my view, such a policy is not necessary either. It was simply a minor mishap that this package name appears so far up the list. |
The package
HentaiAtHomepops up in every nix repl session with nixpkgs because of the capital H prefix:Especially in international context when giving trainings, talks, and Nix pitches in front of C-level executives, this creates unnecessary distraction and worse can sometimes provoke comments in the audience that might trigger people (both happened already).
As this alias throws since #456065 and might not have that many users anyway, i took the liberty to just drop it, as it does not remove the package itself.
