 emily | is that the same building-Linux-package-in-remote-builder-VM-on-macOS config? | 15:14:50 |
 Ben Sparks | I think it was; currently trying to find old messages of mine where I had asked in one nix-related channel if crates.io rate-limited | 15:16:18 |
| emily | May / June makes passta an unlikely culprit too (unless it was late June and you use Lix) | 15:17:02 |
| Ben Sparks | $ nix --version
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.91.3
| 15:17:34 |
| emily | on the builder VM too? :) | 15:17:54 |
| emily | would depend on exact timing then I suppose | 15:18:12 |
| Ben Sparks | I wouldn't rely on this timespan btw until I find further proof of when the issues occurred.
I also never found out why this happened; it just "went away" at some point | 15:19:20 |
 Toma | emily: could you try with the changes in this PR: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/400865
(while testing if you only build cargoDeps.vendorStaging you won't have many rebuilds)
| 15:33:57 |
| Toma | Currently the timeout logic in fetchCargoVendor is pretty bad (not even sure if it's working properly) and this tries to fix it, while also doing some general improvements (at least it tries to) | 15:34:55 |

| emily | unfortunately I rebooted the VM and it fixed it 😅 | 15:35:45 |
| emily | but I will try this next time | 15:35:47 |
 K900 | Any reason we're not just doing async at this point | 15:35:52 |
| K900 | Feels like it'll make things significantly less painful | 15:35:59 |
| emily | oh wait | 15:36:04 |
| emily | it worked after applying your patch and I assumed that was because I rebooted | 15:36:16 |
| emily | but it fails again if I revert your patch | 15:36:20 |
| emily | well, hangs again | 15:36:25 |
| emily | uh | 15:36:42 |
| emily | ok, but then I applied your patch again and it's back to failing | 15:36:47 |
| emily | so I guess it just worked once and then I ^C'd half-way through and tried another build and it re-broke :) | 15:36:56 |
| Toma | hell yeah i love consistency | 15:37:06 |
| emily | I'm doubting this is a bug in your code rather than a VM/passta issue | 15:37:10 |
| emily | wait no | 15:37:24 |
| Toma | in any case, the timeout logic is better with my PR | 15:37:31 |
| emily | yeah ok no it's working with your patch | 15:37:33 |
| emily | and not timing out | 15:37:38 |
| emily | I don't understand why | 15:37:44 |
| emily | yes I do | 15:38:17 |
| emily | or at least I have a very good guess | 15:38:19 |
