 dramforever | like it has different behavior depending on if your current distro is rpm or deb or something | 12:51:33 |
 emily | yeah and there are arch-specific scripts that all do more or less the same thing but in subtly different annoying ways | 12:52:18 |
| emily | have you seen our preInstall | 12:52:34 |
| emily | I am deleting all of that | 12:52:43 |
 Alyssa Ross | I tried to refactor it a long time ago to always use KBUILD_IMAGE but it got reverted because it broke MIPS or POWER or something | 12:53:13 |
| emily | my WIP just uses cp | 12:53:31 |
| emily | because if you trace down all the installation scripts all they do is cp $(KBUILD_IMAGE) | 12:53:42 |
| emily | like I don't even make install, at all | 12:53:52 |
| emily | do you have a link to that though | 12:54:31 |
| emily | I remember seeing some good-looking kernel PR you did that got amjoseph'd | 12:54:44 |
| emily | maybe same one | 12:54:48 |
|  @brisingr05:matrix.org joined the room. | 18:05:44 |

|  @saiko:knifepoint.net changed their profile picture. | 00:27:55 |
 @aloisw:julia0815.de | Are lines like this https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/59dd2e527d4ccc18fd9f8f773ccd0f2b4f43b980/pkgs/by-name/li/libimagequant/package.nix#L40 correct or should it be from buildPackages? | 09:14:21 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | I noticed that libimagequant != pkgsStatic.buildPackages.libimagequant, but am not sure if this is intentional. | 09:14:53 |
| emily | assume Rust cross / setEnv stuff is screwy by default | 09:25:35 |
| emily | has never steered me wrong | 09:25:45 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | Screwy in what way though, is the question here. FWIW putting buildPackages restores equality but I'm not sure if this is correct here. | 09:28:26 |
| emily | I believe it is because the corresponding use in the normal hooks will be one level up | 09:28:57 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | Thank you for validating my conjecture then, I will prepare a treewide fix then. | 09:32:47 |
| emily | a hook may be in order if you have the energy | 09:34:32 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | Not sure if that's worth it for the 6 packages that do it? | 09:39:42 |
| emily | 6 opportunities to mess up cross! | 09:46:27 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | I'm wondering if a cargo-c build/install hook would be worth it more since that's what (literally) all of the usages boil down to. | 09:48:43 |
| emily | that's what I meant yeah | 09:53:46 |
| emily | it's been wanted before | 09:53:54 |
| emily | iirc someone tried to put it in the main hook and Alyssa said no | 09:54:03 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | I missed the one usage in the cargo-tauri hook, which I guess is going to be REALLY annoying to fix because it breaks with even weirder errors. | 09:55:37 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | This is targetPlatform abuse right https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/37a4fc0bb6425e8f0c577604bdcdb8ddb2873fa7/pkgs/development/libraries/gobject-introspection/default.nix#L163 ? | 09:58:36 |
| @aloisw:julia0815.de | error: Package ‘gobject-introspection-1.84.0’ in /home/aloisw/Verschiedenes/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gobject-introspection/default.nix:181 is not available on the requested hostPlatform hm still errors. | 09:59:49 |
