 Mic92 | @emilazy:matrix.org: with so many trusted users the binary cache would become a bit dodgy. | 11:19:08 |
 emily | indeed | 11:19:30 |
| emily | my use-case is transporting this digiKam build into a throwaway VM to test it :) | 11:19:41 |
| emily | but I'll just nix-copy-closure | 11:19:49 |
| Mic92 | It's cooler if we don't need to trust everyone as much and instead provide access more freely | 11:20:02 |
| emily | (I don't even set the community builder as a remote builder, I just SSH in to build stuff) | 11:20:30 |
| emily | thanks again for all the work running these builders btw, and sorry for building multiple WebKits lately :) | 11:21:18 |
| Mic92 | nix-fast-build can automate the copy also. But unsure if it fits your workflow | 11:21:26 |
| Mic92 | It's nice to see machines are not just idle | 11:21:49 |
| emily | I've been doing a lot of treewide sweeps lately, so I can use up all the idle cycles in the world :) | 11:22:34 |
| emily | I haven't looked at nix-fast-build yet, but it looks really nice. the problem is just that I don't want to put builds from the community builder in my main store | 11:23:09 |
| emily | aha, but maybe I could use --copy-to | 11:24:06 |
| emily | oh, or --no-download :) | 11:24:35 |
| emily | thanks for the pointer, I'll have to investigate this further as it'll probably be nicer than repeatedly git pulling a Nixpkgs clone on the builder. | 11:24:45 |
| emily | is there any way to get nixpkgs-review to use it? | 11:24:53 |
| Mic92 | Mhm maybe but unsure where nix-shell would than run | 11:25:47 |
| Mic92 | I think we should just have a nixpkgs clone on the machine | 11:26:42 |
| emily | I've already done the initial clone so it wouldn't speed up bumping my branches, but yeah it'd be nice to --reference it | 11:27:48 |
| emily | the aarch64 box has that: https://github.com/NixOS/aarch64-build-box?tab=readme-ov-file#faster-nixpkgs-clone | 11:27:53 |
| emily | would be nice to have the same interface maybe | 11:28:21 |
| Mic92 | @emilazy:matrix.org: feel free to copy over the module to our infra repo if times permit | 11:31:03 |
| emily | sure :) | 11:31:15 |
| emily | I've wanted to get nom on the Darwin builder too, so I'll try to take a look at the configs at some point | 11:31:25 |
