@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAnd let it run12:18:48
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienSure, but as you said, trustix has a much more ambitious goal12:19:15
* @raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius nods$12:19:29
* @raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius * nods12:19:31
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut having nothing is worse than having something12:19:39
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienYes true, but these are non exclusive things12:19:59
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusNon mutually exclusive, yes12:20:11
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut if we are going to make a dent, let's start somewhere that benefits from passively collecting data12:20:25
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWhich will help everyone working in the ecosystem rather than pursuing ambitious goals which will bring fruits only much later on IMHO12:20:48
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rosstrustix had funding12:22:33
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienYeah but it is over now, right ?12:22:59
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Did it? Tweag wasn't really funding it AFAIK, was more of a 20%-time kinda dealio, no? 12:23:48
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienI think it has NLNet funding 12:24:00
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulien * I think it had NLNet funding 12:24:06
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Oh, cool. 12:24:18

In reply to @qyliss:fairydust.space
trustix had funding
yes but I think it was not consumed
13:16:38
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusfor complicated reasons I suppose13:16:47
@foxboron:archlinux.orgFoxboron
In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
I wonder if we would get similar results given our codebase ~similar
I think it depends a lot on the development model, not codebase :p
13:23:51
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWell, both plays a role for sure13:24:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut structural purity increase the chance of reproducibility13:24:35

But structural purity increase the chance of reproducibility
I don't think so, there are too many weird issues for stuff to be unreproducible and different domains of "problems"
13:25:22
@julienmalka:matrix.orgJulienGiven than we have the same concept of reproducible build environments, and that most work towards build reproducibility is upstreamed, I'd expect Guix and Nix to have similar performances, but I'd be interested to see13:25:26

While I agree there are many weird issues, we are getting better and better at bounding the class of problems
13:26:34
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut I know you are not very convinced except if we show you proofs :P13:27:01
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusSo I won't try to convince you until we have proper numbers and testing stories13:27:11
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(and you are right to doubt)13:27:20
@foxboron:archlinux.orgFoxboron
In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
But I know you are not very convinced except if we show you proofs :P
Having >80k packages of varying degrees of quality is going to make it a very hard problem :p
13:28:08
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusFair, but we only need to start by intersecting this set with other distro first13:28:29
@foxboron:archlinux.orgFoxboronGuix (and Arch for that matter) get an easier job because we do have a limit of what we decide to support13:28:29
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAnd see if we are already as fine as them13:28:33
