 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Randy Eckenrode: would you happen to know if darwin uses an out-of-the-ordinary shell with respect to Nixpkgs builds? Put another way, do darwin systems use their host machine's bash, an old/vendored version of bash, or the same version linux machines would?
I ask because I'm making setup hooks which use some bash-isms, and I see comments littered throughout Nixpkgs about hacking around old versions of bash for darwin. | 17:04:57 |
 K900 | Should be standard nixpkgs bash | 17:07:15 |

How old are those comments? Darwin may have used the system when it had a native (impure) toolchain, but that was a decade ago.
The only exception that comes to mind is a foopkg-config script from when patchShebangs wasn’t available, but I’m pretty sure I fixed that during the Clang 16 update.

 Tristan Ross | We've got a bunch of PR's and we should make progress on them. I'm thinking we can probably do:
- Create a project board on GH
- Meet regularly to discuss PR's and the current plan for the stdenv

| Tristan Ross | I've made a board https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/projects/92/views/1 | 18:11:51 |
| Tristan Ross | Had to rebase https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/365057 again. Let's get this reviewed and merged soon. Every time I rebase, it makes looking for previous reviews difficult. | 18:23:39 |
