 aleksi | There are some assorted little patches besides that | 19:14:38 |
 dish [Fox/It/She] | those are some nice patches, will look at that soon | 19:18:49 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | definitely appreciate the work that aux foundation has done on bootstrapping properly | 19:19:03 |
| aleksi | Thanks, no problem | 19:23:25 |
| aleksi | I see live-bootstrap people have also bootstrapped autotools to prevent relying on autogenerated configure scripts. I don't know if nixpkgs wants or needs that though | 19:24:13 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | i wish we had proper hooks to remove all autogenerated files ahead of builds. Like, test binaries (xz backdoor), but also autotools artifacts. We currently don't really do that... | 19:26:58 |
 helle (just a stray cat girl) | I mean I complain already about downloading binaries when we can build from source for things | 19:27:44 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | "but there is no build system in the source" and it turns out Debian has already made a perfectly adequate build system for it | 19:28:20 |
 Qyriad | heck autoreconfHook isn't in default stdenv but running ./configure is | 19:30:01 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | yes | 19:30:19 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | its a mess | 19:30:22 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | I would like find . -type f -executable -exec rm {} \; as an early build step... | 19:32:18 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | (more care would be needed, because some projects have the permission bits on files they later install. But still, nothing of the source should start out executable.) | 19:33:27 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | one of my reasons for annoyance is, we know that what is in nixpkgs is consistent across builders, but the optimisation of knowing what is in it in the first place would be nicer still | 19:34:25 |
