nbp | I do not know, but maybe increasing the size of the header could be a temporary hack in relrhack, to satisfy patchelf until patchelf can be fixed. | 16:22:26 |
nbp | * I do not know, but maybe increasing the size of the header could be a temporary hack in relrhack, to satisfy patchelf until patchelf can be fixed. (just a guess, I haven't look the issue deeply yet) | 16:22:43 |
nbp | is there a patchelf channel where people would know? | 16:23:34 |
vcunat | The only patchelf-related room I can find is this wide one?
https://matrix.to/#/#systems-programming:nixos.org | 16:25:20 |
vcunat | (i.e. I don't know a good channel) | 16:26:00 |
vcunat | * (i.e. I don't know a good channel/room) | 16:26:28 |
vcunat | * (i.e. I don't know a good channel/room/place) | 16:26:45 |
vcunat | A github ticket could be used for this, though that's a less "chatty" place. | 16:27:39 |
vcunat | I wonder if FF compiled by ourselves will also suffer from this, once it reaches these changes. | 16:28:25 |
vcunat | That's certainly a more important package than the binary one. | 16:28:48 |
hexa | maybe just invite mic92 here? | 16:29:11 |
vcunat | Could be. I have no idea how many people are active around patchelf really. | 16:29:44 |
vcunat | Either way, if a place doesn't exist, inviting them all here might be the easiest way. | 16:30:30 |
| hexa invited Mic92. | 16:31:31 |
| Mic92 joined the room. | 16:31:54 |
vcunat | 👋 the mic is yours, I guess | 16:37:41 |
Mic92 | Patchelf is fun. You fix 1 bug and create 3 new ones. | 16:38:25 |
Mic92 | And than you get emails from people that complain about c++14 because it doesn't work on their 15 year old OS. | 16:39:22 |
vcunat | Now I see that nixpkgs patchelf defaults to 0.15 whereas upstream is at 0.18. | 16:41:40 |
vcunat | But if it goes like 1 for 3, maybe it's better to default to the oldest version. | 16:42:04 |
vcunat | So perhaps the first quick attempt would be to simply try with later patchelf? | 16:42:33 |
vcunat | (in case we're in luck) | 16:42:39 |
Mic92 | yeah. there were some regressions, that prevents upgrading. | 16:43:14 |
Mic92 | I remember D being an issue. | 16:43:22 |
Mic92 | Maybe also something with emacs? | 16:43:34 |
vcunat | When you'd like a Hydra jobset to update the default, ping me. Even if just for testing an unstable version or something. | 16:43:42 |
vcunat | But that's... a bit tangential to the current topic. | 16:44:05 |

nbp | has a bug been opened on bugzilla.mozilla.org ? | 17:03:30 |
nbp | at least to collect the investigation somewhere. | 17:04:02 |
