 Lily Foster | Uhhh one sec while I check | 15:01:02 |
| Lily Foster | That | 15:01:03 |
 @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | Workaround that is even worse: (buildNpmPackage.override { nodejs = nodejs_14; npmHooks = npmHooks.override { buildPackages = buildPackages.extend (self: super: { nodejs = super.nodejs_14; }); }; }) | 15:01:07 |
| Lily Foster | Oh I see what you're saying is unintended | 15:01:23 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | In reply to @lily:lily.flowers
Oh I see what you're saying is unintended Yeah sorry that was super unclear | 15:01:37 |
| Lily Foster | We should probably just fish out the correct one from spliced attrs | 15:01:49 |
| Lily Foster | I guess | 15:01:52 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | or some extra arg like nodeVersion that gets fed into getAttrByPath pkgs? | 15:02:12 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | * or some extra arg like nodePackage that gets fed into getAttrByPath pkgs? | 15:02:35 |
| Lily Foster | I'd rather keep the ability to specify a whole nodejs derivation and also since you linked 23.05, we want something backwards compatible so it is eligible for backport | 15:02:39 |
| Lily Foster | Ugh this sucks, though. Maybe we can have the nodejs derivation itself expose the node-gyp location | 15:04:24 |
| Lily Foster | In passthru | 15:04:27 |
| Lily Foster | Hold on one sec. I'm wondering if that code is platform-independent | 15:06:09 |
| Lily Foster | (probably a bad idea, but I'm gonna have to think on this to come up with a better solution) | 15:06:32 |
| Lily Foster | Just to confirm, does this do better for you Janne Heß?

| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | tbh, I have no idea how __spliced works | 15:09:40 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | but probably? | 15:09:43 |

tbh, I have no idea how __spliced works Dark magic mostly. There's a reason a lot of people consider splicing to have been a bit of a mistake... | 15:10:10 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | so I have to check spliceReal → mash → merge → value? | 15:10:55 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | * so I have to check spliceReal → mash → merge → value in splice.nix?? | 15:11:01 |

| Lily Foster | In reply to @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de
but probably? If that diff does work for your particular use-case, let me know and I may just go ahead and PR it, unless I or someone else comes up with something better | 16:49:44 |

|  exelent joined the room. | 14:12:41 |
| exelent | Hello guys, I want to install nodejs using home-manager to my new MBP M2, but nix always intend to build it from source, rather then download from a binary cache.
pkgs = inputs.nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin;
this are the packages that I define. I also enabled cachix community cache cachix use nix-community | 14:39:55 |
 adamcstephens | What is your nixpkgs input url? | 15:46:35 |
| Lily Foster | exelent: Is your home-manager config in a public repo so that we can look at it? | 15:51:03 |

 hexa | gdamjan: any progress on the appservice-irc? | 13:26:24 |
 gdamjan | I didn't have the time to touch it | 14:38:57 |
| gdamjan | I'm getting ready every day, but not enough slacking time at work :/ | 14:39:24 |
| gdamjan | my idea was to do a fetchYarnDeps for the deps, and do the build manually, based on what they do in the Dockerfile | 14:40:56 |
