 guiniol | but then found the wiki that mentioned a solution that worked :D (it is really confusing that there are two wikis that look and feel the same but actually contain different things BTW. At least I know that's the case now) | 00:14:03 |

the only reason I'm aware of you might not want to is that if the flake.nix gets really long and unwieldy it can be hard to read but that's when you can import other files | 00:14:27 |
 Irenes | oh yep I find it confusing as well and I do think we need to figure out what to do about that | 00:15:19 |
| Irenes | In reply to@guiniol:matrix.org
but that's when you can import other files yes, agreed | 00:15:37 |

(thanks for being on this ride with us! it's so great how much energy the community has) Hopefully I can contribute energy too once I understand things better | 00:17:40 |
| Irenes | for sure! I think it is super important to help each other get oriented and stuff | 00:30:45 |
| Irenes | the only way an effort like this can possibly scale is if we all help each other understand things as best we can | 00:31:00 |
| Irenes | again, my personal view | 00:31:05 |
| guiniol | I agree. It's super rewarding when you can help someone else or even better contribute to the code so you help everybody | 00:50:40 |
| guiniol | (I think the mongodb compilation killed my PC) | 00:51:30 |
| guiniol | Coming back to the export thing: you meant you have the packages in flake and can just `nix build` specific packages and see what they look like in `./results`, yes? | 00:52:41 |
| Irenes | yes, that's all I meant by "export", that it's listed as a flake output | 01:02:45 |
| Irenes | (being able to build it is a consequence of that) | 01:03:16 |
| guiniol | Ack. Thanks for the explanation! | 01:10:41 |

(I think the mongodb compilation killed my PC) Retrying with NIX_BUILD_CORES set to half and hoping it gets to the build host | 01:11:52 |
| Irenes | ah yeah good luck | 01:23:36 |
| Irenes | and very welcome | 01:23:39 |
| guiniol | Thanks! (And sorry, it was getting late and I crashed without a last message). And it's failed again. This time, it's "no space left on device", but no indication which one. I'm hoping tmpfs because then I can just build on a SSD with more space. And I'll have to try version 7 to see if it was also running out of space. Tonight's adventure will be figuring out how to tweak compilation options 😀 | 07:23:02 |
| Irenes | yeah I agree that making sure it has more space is probably the solution | 07:31:24 |
|  @dmiskovic:matrix.org set a profile picture. | 07:32:04 |
| guiniol | If it's indeed tmpfs, I just need to figure out how to tell it to use something else. I'm hoping there's a system wide setting somewhere | 07:58:28 |
 K900 | You can set temp-dir in nix.conf | 08:02:42 |
|  Soliprem changed their profile picture. | 13:40:38 |
 daagaak | anyone know if its possible to set hydra to use --show-trace during job evaluation. I've got a restricted eval problem with an unhelpfully truncated backtrace | 17:05:03 |
| daagaak | well apparently it went away by updaing nixpkgs | 19:03:45 |

You can set temp-dir in nix.conf Thanks. Trying again now | 19:23:16 |
| guiniol | In reply to @guiniol:matrix.org
Thanks. Trying again now The option is build-dir, but for some reason it seems to be building locally tonight, even using the same command line as yesterday. It's building lix though. Any particular reason why it would build it locally? I'll let it finish to see if it tries to build mongo remotely after that but it's going to take a while | 20:49:39 |
| guiniol | (and yes, I did try removing the option and it's still doing the same local build) | 20:50:02 |
|  @acidbong:envs.net left the room. | 21:53:49 |
| guiniol | this is maddening. It's still compiling Lix. I will look into setting up a private cache that builds on my own PC while it does that I guess | 22:39:13 |
