 pie_ | congrats on zero!!! | 17:21:21 |

 afontain | so, can we help getting more packages reproducible maybe ? | 23:07:28 |
 tomberek | Absolutely. But I guess we need a new milestone. The graphical iso is a big jump, but I don’t even know what the delta is. Perhaps we add it as another metric to r13y.com? | 23:27:15 |

Absolutely. But I guess we need a new milestone. The graphical iso is a big jump, but I don’t even know what the delta is. Perhaps we add it as another metric to r13y.com? there is also a known (and not yet fixed) bug involving mime info merging, it only happens if 2 packages with mime info get into systemPackages | 01:52:29 |
 siraben | It should be easier for people to check reproducibility of their own packages as well | 04:53:13 |

It should be easier for people to check reproducibility of their own packages as well for a leaf package nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A mypackage --check, is a good start, right? seems pretty easy :) | 14:59:32 |
| raboof | but making it easier to do a 'recursive' rebuild would be cool, too, things like "given a derivation, I trust cache.nixos.org, but I want to rebuild the rest and compare the result with the results from other builders" | 15:06:05 |
| raboof | adisbladis' trustix project (https://github.com/tweag/trustix) seems super interesting in that area, but I get the impression that it's not really ready for collaboration yet? | 15:06:53 |
| raboof | I would also like it if we could somehow integrate reproducibility in the review process more - not requiring it yet, but at least making it visible. I think there were some approaches to that discussed above (doing something in nixpkgs-review and/or adding a flag somewhere that a package is intended to be reproducible) | 15:09:00 |

I'd say it's ready for collaboration but recently I've not been able to give it quite the attention it deserves | 15:09:54 |
| raboof | and of course there's https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/125380 - I hope I haven't scared you all away with all my chatter in that issue :D | 15:15:19 |
| fzakaria | --check is kind of frustrating | 16:02:04 |
| fzakaria | because it has to already be in the store | 16:02:10 |
| fzakaria | I think there's opportunity in the newer CLI to make it a better experience here. | 16:02:23 |
| fzakaria | maybe integrate with diffoscope directly. | 16:02:30 |
 Synthetica | Yeah, I want a "no-really-build-this-even-if-you-think-you-already-have-it" flag | 16:45:57 |
| Synthetica | maybe a bit less verbose | 16:46:02 |
| siraben | Boss level: https://github.com/ligurio/unreliablefs | 17:23:24 |
| raboof | nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A mypackage && nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A mypackage --check? ;) | 17:31:42 |
| siraben | --check is nice but barely adds variation to the build setup | 17:45:22 |
| siraben | I want to be able to automatically test on different kernels and at different times somehow | 17:45:42 |
| afontain | In reply to @siraben:matrix.org
Boss level: https://github.com/ligurio/unreliablefs that's like disorderfs, but much more evil | 17:48:19 |
| afontain | I'd expect many software not to be able to survive this | 17:48:35 |
| siraben | radiation hardening time | 17:51:09 |
