 Randy Eckenrode | In reply to @connorbaker:matrix.org
Randy Eckenrode: would you happen to know if darwin uses an out-of-the-ordinary shell with respect to Nixpkgs builds? Put another way, do darwin systems use their host machine's bash, an old/vendored version of bash, or the same version linux machines would?
I ask because I'm making setup hooks which use some bash-isms, and I see comments littered throughout Nixpkgs about hacking around old versions of bash for darwin. Darwin uses nixpkgs Bash (whether from the bootstrap tools or freshly built).
How old are those comments? Darwin may have used the system when it had a native (impure) toolchain, but that was a decade ago.
The only exception that comes to mind is a foopkg-config script from when patchShebangs wasn’t available, but I’m pretty sure I fixed that during the Clang 16 update.

 Tristan Ross | We've got a bunch of PR's and we should make progress on them. I'm thinking we can probably do:
- Create a project board on GH
- Meet regularly to discuss PR's and the current plan for the stdenv

| Tristan Ross | I've made a board https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/92/views/1 | 18:11:51 |
| Tristan Ross | Had to rebase https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/365057 again. Let's get this reviewed and merged soon. Every time I rebase, it makes looking for previous reviews difficult. | 18:23:39 |

| Tristan Ross | This Thursday (2025-03-20) @ 9am - 10am PST will be the first meeting. I hope this will allow us to have a more coordinated effort towards development.
Goals:
- Meet & greet
- Determine overall plan (+ 25.05)
- Highlight work done since Oct

| emily | I won't have time to do a full re-review before next weekend-ish but fwiw the last time I glanced at this there were review comments I left last time that hadn't been addressed | 04:07:29 |
