I'm happy to use a Idea14-ultimate edition directly from nixos.
Can thoses packages be removed when jetbrains will stop providing thoses files ?
@jpierre03 as far as I know, they keep distributing old versions indefinitely, for users who bought a particular version of the IDE and who don't want to upgrade to a newer version. |
@Kendos-Kenlen Ok. Let's delete it ! |
Please don't remove the old versions of the ultimate packages. I have a license for idea15-ultimate, and I still use it every once in a while when I need a feature that isn't in the community edition. |
Mmmmh... |
Yes, having a separate namespace so that you have to go out of your way a bit to use old versions seems fair. |
@chris-martin is there any reason (now) you cannot just import and older rev. of nixpkgs, since they're supposedly not receiving updates anymore? |
@edwtjo I would then have to do some additional customization to merge it into the new package set to avoid running in an outdated JRE, right? |
@chris-martin you can just copy the nix expression and put into packagesOverride. That way java version would be up to date. |
Motivation for this change
Remove old version of JetBrains IDEs, no longer updated by JetBrains (and at least 3 majors versions has been released since this versions).
I splited #23081 to avoid confusion between version bump and clean-up.
