 emily | actually I'm not sure that makes sense – because you're still not rebuilding the bootstrap tarball that's used to build the actual ISO? 🤔 | 11:17:17 |
 raboof | right, if the bootstrap tarball is infected we're toast anyway | 11:50:57 |
| emily | until minimal bootstrap at least :) | 12:00:27 |
| raboof | I could see building an 'evil 25.05 image' that'd insert malware when I'd build the ISO on it. It's much harder to see someone in 2020 building an 'evil 20.03 image' that inserts malware when I build the ISO on it in 2025 | 12:00:30 |
| raboof | not theoretically impossible, of course, which is why bootstrappable builds are still also important, but given the choice building on an 'old' image seems slightly safer than building on a recent image. | 12:02:51 |

 fricklerhandwerk | Minimal bootstrap is one cross-compilation of gcc-i686 -> gcc-x86_64 away | 08:05:37 |
| fricklerhandwerk | Anyone up to the task? | 08:05:46 |

| raboof | Is there an issue to read up on that somewhere? (not that I have time to start digging into that, but good to have the reference) | 10:00:38 |
| raboof | might make sense to explicitly make bootstrappable builds on-topic here as well, https://github.com/NixOS/reproducible.nixos.org/pull/8 | 10:01:30 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | Btw currently taking a look at the lambda ordering issue in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/230290, trying to repro and diff the generated c code instead of diffing the binary, in a minimal repro. | 10:09:43 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | no guarantees, but i have time and this looks like "fun" | 10:10:31 |
| raboof | oh cool | 10:15:02 |
| raboof | that's the most long-standing issue for the graphical installer (https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/30) and indeed looks like an interesting rabbithole :) | 10:16:00 |
