 Ramses 🇵🇸 | Could I get a review and potential merge on this PR? At least one person ran into trouble because of the issue it's fixing (compiler flags being repeated hundreds of times)
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/301634 | 18:25:47 |
 Mindavi | I still kinda wish it wouldn't all be bash, it's not easy on the eyes at all | 20:19:52 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Totally agree, it wasn't fun at all to write this function, but it seems that we're stuck with bash for the foreseeable future | 23:04:58 |

| Mindavi | Thank you for doing that | 07:39:25 |
| Mindavi | I've one question and then I'd say it's good to go, but my bash isn't that great | 07:39:58 |

| Tristan Ross | Looking into getting Zig to be able to bootstrap Nix. I have started figuring things out. | 04:02:04 |
| Tristan Ross | The idea is to be able to use Zig to bootstrap Nix for LLVM. | 04:02:48 |
| reno | what is the benefit of using zig than just using llvm to bootstrap itself like what is done in freebsd and darwin? | 04:27:39 |
| reno | * what is the benefit of using zig than just using llvm to bootstrap itself like what is done in freebsd and darwin? or gcc like is done on linux | 04:29:13 |
| Tristan Ross | In reply to @paparodeo:matrix.org
what is the benefit of using zig than just using llvm to bootstrap itself like what is done in freebsd and darwin? or gcc like is done on linux Zig prebuilds are a static binary with Clang statically linked in so more of convenience | 04:45:34 |
| Tristan Ross | Also, a bootstrap archive wouldn't be necessary. | 04:46:19 |
| Tristan Ross | Literally just fetchTarball and then use it by using zig cc. | 04:46:40 |
| Tristan Ross | Nixpkgs already has Zig stdenv merged in so some of the existing stuff exists. | 04:47:02 |

 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | stdenv folks: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/330830 is ready for merge, I think. please take a look. | 18:21:47 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I'm ideating about a fix for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/328229 that still allows passive viewing but doesn't create such a spew. | 18:57:15 |

I'm ideating about a fix for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/328229 that still allows passive viewing but doesn't create such a spew. The results of this ideation are here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/331383 | 21:52:52 |
 raitobezarius | Not so sure about the package manager changes | 21:54:08 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I'm super open to what better would look like. | 21:57:56 |
| raitobezarius | I think the nixLogDebug thing is a good idea but I'd generalize it to nixLog $loglevel $msg | 21:58:51 |
| raitobezarius | Have an alias for nixLogDebug | 21:59:02 |
| raitobezarius | Then I'd move setting the env var in the sandbox inside the package manager impl | 21:59:20 |
| raitobezarius | Possibly also the whole design of Nix LOG FD is wrong-ish | 21:59:37 |
