 eyJhb | Maybe it works good enough? | 12:38:00 |
 emily | I mean, we just had to get an org admin to merge a fix for a Nixpkgs deprecation after over a week, so it doesn't seem like an "it's done, no more changes needed" situation | 12:40:29 |

 cafkafk | > <@emilazy:matrix.org> uh, actually figsoda seems to have disappeared from GitHub entirely in July?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this message is seen by figsoda's account, so seems to still be around | 05:46:07 |

I mean, we just had to get an org admin to merge a fix for a Nixpkgs deprecation after over a week, so it doesn't seem like an "it's done, no more changes needed" situation Upstream changes doesn't really change that, does it? Project might be done and quite usable, but accounting for upstream changes breaking something is kind of hard. And not always you have the time to sit down and fix such things. | 06:03:58 |
| emily | sure, I'm not blaming anyone | 11:26:47 |
| emily | just wondering if there is a plan for ongoing maintenance | 11:27:07 |
 Matt Sturgeon | Its not blocking me, as everything passed on a rebuild, but I figured I should report so the infra/buildbot maintainers are aware:
I just had a buildbot build fail with "cachix: FailureResponse | 524: A timeout occurred" (only one build had the issue; the other 199 all passed). Not seen this before, so I'll monitor to see if it becomes a recurring issue.
| 11:41:51 |
 Mic92 | Matt Sturgeon: I saw error 500 in a different place too for cachix. It's something domen has to fix. | 12:25:20 |

just wondering if there is a plan for ongoing maintenance It was merged. We can ask the community if someone else wants to take over maintainance. | 12:26:05 |
| Mic92 | Personally I am not using it. | 12:26:19 |
| emily | it's always seemed a little unfortunate to me that there are two Rust flakes implementing very nearly the exact same functionality with slightly different tradeoffs | 12:26:58 |
| Mic92 | What's the advantage of fenix over the other one? | 12:28:20 |
 Domen Kožar | Mic92: we rolled out a change and it took down the server for a few seconds | 12:30:45 |

What's the advantage of fenix over the other one? IIRC fenix has smaller tarballs than rust-overlay because it requires IFD to use nightlies whereas rust-overlay contains that information in-tree. I believe rust-overlay has cut off nightlies before 2023 to mitigate that problem now though. | 12:30:55 |
| emily | https://github.com/oxalica/rust-overlay/issues/139#issuecomment-1786249552 has a comparison from the rust-overlay maintainer and links to other people's comparisons | 12:31:30 |
| emily | (looks like rust-overlay is still significantly bigger to download, though smaller than Nixpkgs) | 12:33:06 |
| emily | (I assume a hypothetical branch of rust-overlay that only included the toolchains fenix does would be comparable in size) | 12:35:27 |
 figsoda | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
is fenix ~dead-ish? I took a break and decided to come back a few days ago, but got busy with other stuff so wasn't able to get to much. I should be able to start reviewing stuff in a bit, sorry | 14:01:22 |
| emily | no worries! | 14:01:47 |
| emily | take your time, was just checking in on the status :) | 14:01:59 |

 colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Is this the right room to ask about the aarch64 box? | 18:08:44 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | I keep seeing it getting slammed with tensorflowy/cuda-y stuff. Idk if it's "normal" or "sus". | 18:09:06 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Nope, that's my fault | 18:09:21 |
| colemickens 🏳️🌈 | Not trying to police what people do, god knows I keep building kernels on it, etc. | 18:09:25 |
