 K900 | Both are possible | 18:52:36 |

It would surprise me if patchelf even had any cross-dependent behavior You can ask @Mic92 about that, he started maintaining that | 18:52:44 |
| K900 | Oh actually wait | 18:53:16 |
| K900 | It does have some endianness checks | 18:53:22 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Looks the same to me | 18:53:33 |
| K900 | Yeah OK it's doing very cursed things | 18:53:39 |

Who updates them? r-ryantm once we've added an update script that runs cargo update | 18:54:05 |
| K900 | This is freaking scary | 18:55:14 |
| K900 | It's basically just bytemucking all the values in-place at read time | 18:55:32 |
| K900 | RIIR patchelf when | 18:55:47 |
| @janne.hess:helsinki-systems.de | Mic92: do you have more insight on that? | 18:55:55 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
RIIR patchelf when If we did that we wouldn't need goblin :P | 18:56:46 |
| K900 | I mean if I were to attempt it, goblin is what I'd build off of | 18:56:58 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Anyway, the point stands that we don't need to add deps if we're willing to use patchelf instead of ldd to detect dynamic libs | 18:58:06 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but that comes at the cost of it being... maybe a lil wonky. And we'd lose the justification for using json for the input | 18:58:26 |
| K900 | Actually kinda hot take | 18:58:44 |
| K900 | We might just want to extract make-initrd-ng into its own repo | 18:59:02 |
| K900 | So we could have dependabot and CI and all the other good stuff | 18:59:12 |
| K900 | Maybe not right now but in a few months when it's more mature | 18:59:29 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | That's not crazy. I mean patchelf is another repo, right? | 18:59:31 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | yeah that take is lukewarm at best :p | 18:59:46 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Shoot I don't even see a reason not to do it immediately | 19:00:21 |
| K900 | I actually don't think doing it now is a great idea because there will probably be one-liner fixes and having to do the whole release dance is awkard | 19:00:28 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | idk, having it in nixpkgs has its advantages too | 19:00:31 |
| K900 | * I actually don't think doing it now is a great idea because there will probably be one-liner fixes and having to do the whole release dance is awkawrd | 19:00:31 |
| K900 | * I actually don't think doing it now is a great idea because there will probably be one-liner fixes and having to do the whole release dance is awkward | 19:00:34 |
| @linus:schreibt.jetzt | yeah that | 19:00:36 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | ah fair enough | 19:00:42 |
