 Yureka (she/her) | The issue is these are not built by hydra, but we also don't want to use privately hosted bootstrap tools anymore | 09:12:15 |

| Yureka (she/her) | It is blocked on this | 09:13:06 |
 trofi | I see. Lack of binaries does not sound like a "broken mess" though. | 13:50:01 |
 vcunat | It's not this job? https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/cross-trunk/bootstrapTools.aarch64-musl.dist | 14:01:37 |
| vcunat | Ah, I saw cross but you want natively built tools apparently? | 14:03:59 |
| Yureka (she/her) | Alyssa Ross: do we care if the musl bootstrap tools are natively built or cross-compiled? | 14:05:28 |
| vcunat | Ideally the result should be the same I think, but I know little about cross or musl, so there might be some catch. | 14:07:14 |

Anyone have any thoughts on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/239331, what's a reasonable ping frequency? 1/week? 1/month? Less? I'm keen to nudge it along and call it done before it drops off my radar and remains in limbo forever. | 14:51:44 |

| p14 | On aarch64-linux, pkgsCross.musl64.pkgsStatic.stdenv stopped being a cache hit sometime around the 26th of May. Sha eb5cd54d0 looks to be the first commit at which it is missing on the nixos-23.05 branch, but the non cross stdenv also broke/stopped being a cache hit then by the looks of things.
Does anyone have any idea why it might have gone missing and can we bring it back… ?
I would also like to have the equivalent, but from x86 to aarch64 cross. | 10:55:32 |
 emilytrau | p14: i'm not sure but #exotic:nixos.org might have more active people who could help :) | 11:18:39 |

I would also like to have the equivalent, but from x86 to aarch64 cross. Stable releases currently don't build these. Only nixpkgs master via https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/cross-trunk | 14:35:29 |
| vcunat | (Even stable releases tend to get mass rebuilds every several weeks. Near start even sooner.) | 14:36:46 |
| p14 | Thank you! That was the missing piece of the puzzle. | 14:40:18 |
| vcunat | If there's consensus about this being useful (#cross-compiling:nixos.org I guess), I think it would be fine to have copies of that jobset, active for the currently supported stable branch(es). (I'm on build infra team; ping me to set it up.)
Though on a related note, it seemed like contents of the jobset would benefit from some redesign of content/policy.

| p14 | I want to experiment with nixpkgs#pkgsStatic.stdenv.cc.cc, and to that end I'm dropping into a nix develop shell. Unfortunately, gcc has its own builder.sh, so genericBuild doesn't give me a build. And then, running the builder.sh also doesn't work.
genericBuild fails with Makefile:26: *** missing separator. Stop.
and running the builder.sh fails with unpacker appears to have produced no directories, even though it clearly does produce a gcc-12.2.0 directory.
So two questions:
- How do I develop
nixpkgs#pkgsStatic.stdenv.cc.cc?
- How do I reproduce what
nix build does, in a nix develop shell, in general? Why doesn't genericBuild or running the builder.sh work here?
