I see in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/ar/arandr/package.nix that it's building from a tarball. Do you get the same result when building from the gitlab sources? (I'm not at a pc right now so haven't looked inside yet) Hello, thanks for your response! I have not built it from the gitlab source. I only built it following the recommended steps on the issue page. I will try and build from gitlab when I get home in the evening.
I will go ahead and indicate my interest on the issue page.
Thanks 🙏 | 08:50:04 |
 raboof | I don't know anything about Outreachy-specifics (is probably a question for Fernando Rodrigues) but I'd expect nixpkgs to be in scope :) | 12:39:45 |

Hello everyone,
I'm Emmanuel, an Outreachy participant interested in contributing to NixOS reproducible builds. I've gone through the contribution guidelines and have already made some initial contributions, which you can find here:
https://github.com/ngi-nix/ngipkgs/issues?q=is:pr+author:3pleX-dev
Now, I'm ready to start working on issues related to NixOS reproducible builds.
However, I’m a bit confused. I noticed that all projects on the Outreachy page have similar contribution guides, and the initial contribution instructions led me to ngi-nixpkgs. Since all the "good first issue" contributions are under that repository, I’m not sure if those contributions will count towards this project.
Could someone clarify this for me?
Thanks! Hi Emmanuel. It seems you have chosen the NGI project, which is different from the reproducible builds project. Please take a look at the reproducible builds project for specific instructions as to where to begin. | 13:35:20 |

| 3pleX-dev | Yes I have seen this now, the docs in the outreachy site had me confused for a bit, I was initially trying to follow through step-by-step. The ngipkgs repo was also referenced for good first contributions under reproducible build section
thank you so much for clarifying this Fernando Rodrigues | 14:04:45 |

 Pol | How do you deal with packages that are not reproducible on mac? Context: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/394620 | 19:35:30 |

| 3pleX-dev | Hi Pol thank you for the feedback, I’ll look into this | 07:14:38 |
| Pol | Cool, let me know if I can help | 07:14:53 |

| raboof | any additional eyes on figuring out what's going on with jemalloc in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/393724 would be welcome - this is the last remaining known issue for the minimal iso and needs to go through staging... | 08:18:42 |
| Pol | The diff LGTM and make sense. Building stuff straight from the repository, not using artifacts (remind me somethinxz! ) | 08:24:11 |
| raboof | notably someone with C experience who can judge whether it'd be safer to over-estimate or under-estimate the LG_VADDR value in https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/blob/dev/include/jemalloc/internal/rtree.h would be a great help :) | 09:51:45 |
| Pol | Packaging this library is a nightmare... I thought that Apache Foundation would be more sensible to reproducibility... but nope. https://github.com/apache/orc
The build process download stuff from Internet, it seems very hard to get around it. | 14:37:01 |
| Pol | Got it building in the end. | 16:35:37 |

 emily | raboof: I think you broke jemalloc:
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION "0.0.0-0-g000000missing_version_try_git_fetch_tags"
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION_MAJOR 0
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION_MINOR 0
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION_BUGFIX 0
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION_NREV 0
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION_GID "000000missin"
#define JEMALLOC_VERSION_GID_IDENT 000000missin
| 02:13:16 |
| Fernando Rodrigues | reproducibly broken is still reproducible :) | 02:13:47 |
| Pol | That's the spirit :D | 07:24:20 |
