 niklaskorz | Toma: finally got around to debugging the recent fetchCargoVendor issue in zed-editor | 09:44:10 |
| niklaskorz | I'll proceed as suggested and wrap get_manifest_metadata in a try, to proceed with the next manifests in the iterator on failure | 09:44:38 |
| niklaskorz | (unfortunately means zed-editor will be stuck on an old version for a bit as I missed the staging-next branchoff) | 09:45:04 |
| niklaskorz | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/449845
Rebuild: linux 26442, darwin 16179
insert "this little maneuver" meme
| 10:08:35 |
| niklaskorz | currently building zed-editor 0.206.7 to verify but the vendoring has already passed, so that part is good to go | 10:09:44 |
 leona | it could maybe make its way to staging-next now, as only a few hundred builds are finished yet. but that would require some coordination over in #staging:nixos.org | 10:48:50 |
| leona | I don't know how important this change is | 10:48:58 |
 K900 | I'd rather not | 10:50:43 |
| K900 | I kinda really don't like that change tbh | 10:51:24 |
| K900 | Like why are we even grabbing random manifests like that | 10:51:37 |
| K900 | Can we not either specify that or resolve the top of workspace correctly | 10:51:47 |
| niklaskorz | Happy to discuss alternatives, and I don't know about the original motivation for the glob, maybe @tomasajt:matrix.org can chime in on that | 11:01:19 |
| niklaskorz | So far zed-editor seems to be the first and only package to be affected, so really not that important | 11:14:38 |
| niklaskorz | I'll just have to deal with a couple of weeks of inquiries from unhappy Zed users, but that's ok 😄 | 11:15:07 |
| niklaskorz | replacing it with a topdown Path.walk + checking for existence of Cargo.toml now (so it automatically checks the topmost Cargo.toml first) | 13:17:44 |
| niklaskorz | Or well, I would, but I might have to deal with some kind of hardware failure right now | 13:35:09 |
| niklaskorz | oh wow, after some digging I suspect the source of the issue has never been the ordering (although strictly speaking, Path.glob does indeed not guarantee any order)... | 13:49:00 |
| niklaskorz | the failing dependency in question, candle-book, is explicitly excluded by its workspace manifest but still specifies the edition to be inherited from the workspace (which is the source of the cargo metadata failure) | 13:49:40 |
| niklaskorz | might not need a staging PR or fix in fetchCargoVendor after all then, checking if we can do with some patching here | 13:50:22 |
| niklaskorz | doesn't look like it, as we currently have no way to sneak in patches between fetchcargovendor staging and final output | 14:14:22 |
| niklaskorz | so either way the try block is the only real immediate solution (short of the upstream crate fixing its mess) | 14:14:40 |

| Anders | Are anyone interested in integrating RedoxOS with NixOS? I see there has been some efforts to do this before, but it seems to be dormant now. But the Redox OS project seems very promising as a inovative, modern and secure system which would harmonize with nix too.

| niklaskorz | Afaik the first step would be to bring back relibc | 16:55:47 |
| niklaskorz | @zmitchell:matrix.org looked into this but responded here why he stopped: https://bsky.app/profile/z-mitchell.bsky.social/post/3liahxpqjls2i | 16:56:37 |

| Anders | Too bad relibc was not maintained.
