 andi- | * Another exercise related to bootstrapping that I would love to do: build a bootstrap tarball on x86_64-linux with nixpkgs, then substitute our bootstrap tarball with the equivalent files from a debian/fedora/... and rebuild that bootstrap tarball. Ideally the results should be identialcal | 10:54:09 |
 @gytis-ivaskevicius:matrix.org | Oh, actually thats pretty smart | 10:54:44 |
| andi- | If they are not we can see why and rule out those impurities. Once we can show that you can bootstrap nixpkgs from another distros sources (e.g. Guix MES bootstrapped toolchain) we have a bit more "trust" into those files. | 10:55:46 |
 @linus.heckemann:matrix.mayflower.de | that's basically https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2006/01/countering_trus.html right? | 10:57:35 |
| andi- | perhaps a gentoo stage1 tarball would be a good starting point as those already exist | 10:57:39 |
