 dish [Fox/It/She] | I would like to get the current pt 1 PR I made merged, then your improvements to i686/x64/riscv, then my statics, then migrate bootstrap-files to minimal-bootstrap for supported arches | 20:34:00 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | last part is the most complicated and one I'd need the most help with since stdenv is... annoying | 20:34:27 |
 helle (just a stray cat girl) | I mean I may just end up maintaining some of these extremely long bootstraps, because I see value in them, but yeah, they are a mess and sloooow | 20:35:18 |

cries in rustc bootstrap oof yeah | 20:36:34 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | mrustc needs to keep up for rustc bootstrap to be even partially viable | 20:36:55 |

I mean I may just end up maintaining some of these extremely long bootstraps, because I see value in them, but yeah, they are a mess and sloooow oh yeah there is 100% value in it | 20:37:26 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | but atm I would rather have an imperfect bootstrap be used than a perfect bootstrap that never gets merged | 20:37:53 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | then we can improve it over time | 20:37:59 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | ~~which would involve a lot of mass rebuilds but if we can do it in big sets and also maybe get a hydra jobset then its more reasonable~~ | 20:38:38 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | oh yeah, part of ours is intentionally not going to get merged any time soon over this | 20:39:01 |
 aleksi | Definitely agreed | 21:45:44 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | question about your patches, is there anything in them that would be useful to improve i686 bootstrap? or is it just improvements for x86_64/rv64? | 21:57:00 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | just trying to understand the scope of the patchset relative to if I want to take any changes into my existing upgrade branch | 21:57:14 |
