 K900 | There's no well established process here | 07:48:31 |
| K900 | Adding new targets is not exactly common | 07:48:36 |
 Alyssa Ross | There kind of is | 07:48:37 |
| Alyssa Ross | Let me see if I can find an example | 07:48:43 |
| K900 | Well there is some process | 07:48:45 |
| K900 | But I would not call it well established | 07:49:28 |
| Alyssa Ross | First step is to add your platform to pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tolos-cross.nix | 07:57:06 |
| Alyssa Ross | * | 07:57:19 |
| Alyssa Ross | Once that's done, the bootstrap tarball needs to be uploaded to tarballs.nixos.org. To do that, open a draft PR adding the bootstrap tarball in pkgs/stdenv/linux/bootstrap-files, then fill in the form as used on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/283492 (everything after "So, following the script established by previous bootstrap tools updates:"). Then you need to get somebody who has access to S3 to reproduce and upload the tarball. In the past that's been lovesegfault — not sure whether anybody else can do it now.
| 08:03:23 |
| Alyssa Ross | Once that's done, your PR can be merged, and we'll have a bootstrap for your platform. | 08:03:53 |
| K900 | I believe @hexa has access now | 08:03:59 |
 aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | Sure, I'll try that | 08:11:46 |
| Alyssa Ross | Feel free to request my review on the make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix PR | 08:12:42 |

So I still have to build the first tarball on hydra? | 08:37:37 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | I don't have any permission on hydra yet | 08:37:49 |
| K900 | It should happen automatically with the next channel update | 08:38:03 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | Oh, I misunderstood that. | 08:40:06 |
| Alyssa Ross | Oh yeah I forgot to actually say that | 08:43:36 |
 @trofi:matrix.org | I think https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/maintainers/scripts/bootstrap-files#how-to-add-bootstrap-files-for-a-new-target should cover it | 12:30:53 |

Once that's done, your PR can be merged, and we'll have a bootstrap for your platform. Might not be a bad idea to formalize the documentation on that for easier future reference. | 14:09:26 |
| Alyssa Ross | If anybody wants to they're very welcome to adapt my write-up therr | 14:10:18 |

 emily | isn't that what ^ is? | 14:10:52 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh, I'm still waking up and didn't see everything lol | 14:11:37 |

| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | I've got the first stumbling block | 08:43:59 |

| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | glibc on loongarch64 doesn't provide a libutil.so but our stdenv-bootstrap-tools requires one | 08:44:51 |
| Alyssa Ross | We should be able to just drop that from all bootstrap tools | 08:45:04 |
| Alyssa Ross | (All Glibc bootstrap tools) | 08:45:15 |

We should be able to just drop that from all bootstrap tools But what about the final native glibc on loongarch64? Do we just leave it as is? | 08:47:53 |
