 φ | is there any way to be able to use nix as a normal user in a non-systemd distro? | 09:22:58 |
 toonn | I think Nix still allows a single-user install, and without a daemon there's no need for systemd, IIRC. (Lix's installer does not support a non-daemon install (yet?) IIRC) | 09:25:55 |
| φ | so it should work fine if i install cppnix single-user from my user? is that correct? | 09:26:44 |
| toonn | If I remember correctly. Single-user installs were disabled for Darwin but I believe Linux still allows them. | 09:27:49 |
| φ | they dont work with selinux enabled afaik , but i dont have that so should be fine | 09:28:37 |
| φ | do u know of any plans for lix to be able to do this? | 09:28:52 |
| toonn | It was asked fairly recently. I think someone said it might come but it didn't seem all that certain. | 09:29:27 |

 Zoe Z | in a CPP conditional, is there a way to check lix < 2.93 ? | 16:28:23 |
 raitobezarius | let me think | 17:21:01 |
| Zoe Z | right now I'm using #if __has_include (<lix/libutil/async.hh>) | 17:23:06 |
| raitobezarius | i think we have a version define? | 17:23:15 |
| raitobezarius | Zoe Z PACKAGE_VERSION? | 17:25:28 |
 just1602 | If there's such thing I have an old CL I could bring up because I didn't find how to check the version and I didn't had time to dig | 17:25:31 |

| raitobezarius | does that help? | 17:25:49 |
| raitobezarius | not exactly sure you can do preprocessor magic enough on such a string… | 17:26:58 |
| Zoe Z | yeah, that was what I was struggling with | 17:27:18 |
| raitobezarius | yeah i think preprocessor doesn't offer any way | 17:27:44 |
| raitobezarius | we need to define this in meson directly i guess | 17:27:51 |
| just1602 | https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3025/comment/fdf7cf24_c93473f0/
Yeah, that's what peanne were saying here | 17:28:31 |
| raitobezarius | if you are already using async to detect Lix < 2.93, I think you can probably check for one of the usual async helper defined? | 17:28:34 |
| raitobezarius | yep | 17:28:45 |
| raitobezarius | we should definitely start doing that Zoe Z thanks for the ping | 17:28:57 |

 hexa | I'm thankful for how reliably lix tells me when it is waiting on a lock | 02:02:47 |
| raitobezarius | is it actually reliable on that :D ? | 05:39:41 |
 Yureka (she/her) | in staging not staging-next, no? | 07:47:37 |
| Yureka (she/her) | at least I can see staging-next is on curl 8.16.0 and doesn't have any extra patches | 07:47:58 |
