 p14 | Which is a little fragile since there aren't GC roots for those references, but it seems to work well enough for my purposes as a development environment. | 19:23:56 |
 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I filled it in. Did you see the draft I posted earlier? | 19:45:57 |
 Randy Eckenrode | I need to add my availability, though it’s probably a bit limited. | 19:46:53 |
 Tristan Ross | What draft? | 19:55:09 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Hold on, rather than linking the Matrix message I'll just make a pad. | 20:05:31 |
| Tristan Ross | Alright | 20:05:45 |

| Tristan Ross | Looks good | 20:26:02 |
 truby | Tristan Ross: da67096a3b9bf56a91d16901293e51ba5b49a27e is my nixpkgs rev. Still hitting the gettext failure | 20:29:04 |
| Tristan Ross | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/da67096a3b9bf56a91d16901293e51ba5b49a27e | 20:29:36 |
 Artturin | the bump is not yet in master https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=358254 | 20:29:43 |
| truby | hm | 20:29:44 |
| Artturin | while the removal is | 20:29:45 |
| Artturin | was submitted agaisnt master | 20:29:50 |
| truby | I'm probably misunderstanding the flake file format | 20:29:56 |
| truby | ah, yep. bc27f0fde01ce4e1bfec1ab122d72b7380278e68 sorry | 20:30:10 |
| Tristan Ross | Yeah, Artturin is right. That rev doesn't have it yet. | 20:31:15 |
| truby | that rev is from 3 days ago though? | 20:31:38 |
| Artturin | the bump is in staging | 20:31:53 |
| Artturin | not yet in master | 20:31:56 |
| truby | ah ok. Anything I can do to work around that? "just use staging"? :) | 20:32:19 |
| truby | If this was fixed before in master and the fix was removed for a version bump, why is the removal of the fix in master while the fix is still in staging? Sorry if this is a naieve question 😅 | 20:35:29 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | All: Please edit away, or post on behalf of the team Tristan Ross | 20:37:30 |
| Artturin | In reply to @truby:matrix.org
If this was fixed before in master and the fix was removed for a version bump, why is the removal of the fix in master while the fix is still in staging? Sorry if this is a naieve question 😅 The creator of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/360044 put it in the wrong branch | 20:45:01 |
| truby | I do seem to be getting further after pinning to the parent of that commit :) | 21:00:19 |

| Tristan Ross | I'm curious as to why we do use${compiler} to change the compiler out instead of something like cc = "clang". I probably could work on a PR to do that. It probably would work better with composing with the other various pkgs. | 18:17:54 |
 sterni | More often than not, swapping out things doesn't work individually useLLVM for example implies some sort of whole LLVM toolchain. | 22:17:42 |
| sterni | The weird API is because the implicit assumption is of course that every platform has its own toolchain and not multiple alternative ones | 22:18:20 |
| sterni | Ideally we'd allow switching out things individually, but there are limits e.g. clang and GNU binutils only work together to an extent (only C, no LTO) | 22:18:53 |
| sterni | Tristan Ross: If you want to start on this, I'd recommend you'd try to wire up linker. That is a plain string in the platform set, but changing it doesn't do anything. It's just informational, telling you what the linker is, but it doesn't change anything if you set it explicitly | 22:20:05 |
