 hellwolf | But still need that Nth nix node builder though too. | 14:10:54 |
| hellwolf | Or is buildNpmPackage targeting that? | 14:11:25 |
| hellwolf | * Or is buildNpmPackage targeting that role? | 14:11:27 |
 Lily Foster | buildNpmPackage is really more for leaf-like application-level npm packages | 14:12:03 |
| Lily Foster | At some point we may end up trying to build out a real Nix-based node package set, but npm dependencies go really deep. Unlike how other package sets like python generally are | 14:14:08 |
| Lily Foster | So I doubt it'll really be worth it tbh | 14:14:23 |
| Lily Foster | We'll probably aim for more like how the rust stuff works | 14:14:35 |
| Lily Foster | I want to have something like importCargoLock but for package-lock.json but it's far down on the backburner rn | 14:15:12 |
| hellwolf |
npm dependencies go really deep.
Indeed. I wonder if it's inherit to node, or just how npm/yarn works.

Tbh just how any similar system works. See Mix/Elixir, Rust/Cargo, Go, etc. Those don't go as deep as npm but they do get large | 14:23:00 |
| hellwolf | I see. | 14:45:41 |
| hellwolf | One more question, when using buildNpmPackage packages. do packages still share the build outputs of their dependencies if possible? | 14:46:12 |

One more question, when using buildNpmPackage packages. do packages still share the build outputs of their dependencies if possible? How do you mean exactly? | 15:01:56 |
| Lily Foster | Like sharing dependency sources? | 15:02:07 |
| hellwolf | Like not having the same thing in the nix store twic | 15:04:32 |
| hellwolf | * Like not having the same thing in the nix store twice | 15:04:33 |
| Lily Foster | (If so, the answer is no because it's all cache FODs from the lockfiles. If there was something like importCargoLock then those would be I suppose by nature of how Nix works but until computed derivations you don't want to use that in nixpkgs mostly) | 15:04:50 |
| Lily Foster | In reply to @hellwolf:matrix.org
Like not having the same thing in the nix store twice Yeah no, given it generates npm caches for all deps as a single FOD. The amount of dedup that would do is probably not as much as you're expecting but one day it'll be able to do that | 15:05:51 |
| hellwolf | do you think auto-optimise-store = true will do some extra magic still? | 15:07:12 |
| Lily Foster | Good question. Probably? I forget how exactly that determines what to hard link but I suppose it will | 15:08:09 |
| Lily Foster | Due to the way npm's cacache works | 15:08:27 |

| Emma [it/its] | i came here to ask, is there any progress on pnpm support? | 12:22:24 |
| Lily Foster | There won't be for a short while unless someone else is able to help work on it (it's somewhat far down the priority list) | 12:23:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | ah | 12:24:03 |

 Pol | Anybody willing to help upgrading code-server ? It's throwing an error while building and I have no clue how to fix it . | 09:19:54 |
