 emily | I have a ridiculous idea for the target spec things | 15:43:50 |
| emily | what if we make a directory and put nixpkgs-{build,host,target}-platform.json symlinks to the rustcTargetSpec in there | 15:44:26 |
| emily | then the derivation hashes don't get included in the names | 15:44:51 |
 dramforever | you mean like in prePhases? | 15:45:21 |
| dramforever | wait how do we find the file then | 15:50:03 |
| dramforever | does rustc have a TARGET_SPEC_DIR or something | 15:50:47 |
| dramforever | you know what, nevermind, i'm not actually blocked on r-h-f | 15:59:26 |
| dramforever | i don't have the string with context problem if i use rust.framepointers | 15:59:48 |

 Toma | I have opened https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421558
But I think this is not the way to go, at least not yet.
I don't want to imagine the merge issues with having made a change in 2000 packages, all of them near often-changing hash values and having them be only in staging but not master.
I think we should first have a staging cycle where the useFetchCargoVendor = true is made an actual NOOP (we filter it out from the attrs passed down to mkDerivation)
After that, we can do the same thing as my PR above, only targeting master directly and have no rebuilds
Any better ideas?

| Toma | I'd also imagine a similar process for release-25.05, but I guess the merge issues are less severe there | 17:32:46 |
| emily | oh god, it gets passed down still? | 17:32:48 |
| emily | yes, let's do the staging thing then | 17:33:04 |
| emily | and certainly let's backport to 25.05 | 17:33:09 |
| emily | and we'll also need to do a merge into staging-next and staging when we land | 17:33:31 |
| emily | as in, make it a nop in staging | 17:33:51 |
| emily | sorry for not catching that originally | 17:34:00 |
| emily | btw, you may want to collapse newlines for the
cargoHash = "foo";
useFetchCargoVendor = true;
otherThing = 123;
case
| 17:34:37 |
| emily | (not sure if we have any in tree or not though) | 17:34:40 |
| emily | (and actually I guess nixfmt might collapse those already) | 17:34:47 |
| Toma | yes | 17:34:52 |
| Toma | * yes it does | 17:35:06 |
| Toma | Okay, I'll work on the make-NOOP PR then | 17:35:53 |
| Toma | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421563 | 17:41:39 |
| Toma | this minimal change should be fine I think | 17:42:13 |
| Toma | Oh it has an eval error, will fix it in a minute | 17:45:43 |

Edit: Done! | 17:47:57 |
