SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Was the separate-jobset option already dismissed? | 16:59:25 |
Vladimír Čunát | I'm not against a separate jobset. But I haven't heard any advantage to gain from the separation. | 17:09:41 |
Vladimír Čunát | * I'm not against a separate jobset. But so far I haven't heard any advantage to gain from the separation. | 17:09:47 |
hexa | it was just what I was used to from the cuda jobsets on nix-community | 17:14:32 |
hexa | and recursing into pkgsRocm was a non-starter | 17:14:39 |
hexa | but importing it into the existing jobset is absolutely fine with me | 17:15:21 |
Lun | Is there a point in still having a separate release-rocm.nix then? I could put the generated list of different-for-rocm packages somewhere in rocm-modules and have release.nix's pull those in under packageJobs without needing a new top level release- file | 18:00:15 |

Vladimír Čunát | Whatever the way, I assume that we want to filter the jobs for x86_64-linux only, so the approach should support that somehow. (Because other platforms are rarely combined with HW where rocm makes sense?) | 18:17:27 |
K900 | Technically you can have an AMD GPU in an ARM server | 18:20:53 |
hexa | rocm clang is x86-64-linux only right now | 18:21:08 |
Lun | yeah I'd like to get the package set working for aarch64 at some point but I don't have the builders for anything but x86_64 and nobody who does has been trying to use it. one laptop with 16gb of RAM does not build a rocmPackages.
jobs will be x86_64-linux only for now | 18:22:44 |
hexa | https://nix-community.org/community-builders/ | 18:23:28 |
Lun | How powerful are the aarch64 boxes there? | 18:23:45 |
hexa | q80-30, 128G memory, 128G swap | 18:24:21 |
Lun | maybe that's viable after 7.x when we manage to drop a bunch of CK… | 18:24:44 |
Lun |  Download image.png | 18:27:10 |
Lun | typical rocm mass rebuid experience | 18:27:11 |
hexa | few distros will have big enough machines for that | 18:27:57 |
hexa | but with fewer cores it will probably scale down | 18:29:15 |
Lun | can go slower if you have less ram but it's already annoyingly slow to rebuild | 18:29:45 |
Lun | anyway i'll try cooking something up that just inherits a set defined in rocm-modules in release.nix for x86_64-linux only unless anyone has a reason that's not a good idea | 18:30:29 |
Lun | How's https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/446976 ? | 19:40:53 |
hexa | looks good to me, hope someone can double check | 22:35:01 |

ma27 | since you're the most prominent user of limesurvey: is anybody in here interested in taking over maintenance? last time somebody updated was half a year ago and I just noticed because it still uses PHP 8.1 which I'm about to remove. | 21:08:06 |
tgerbet | I don't really want to take the maintenance over but I can give a hand if someone wants to deal with it. I have some knowledge of their codebase and some security issues in discussions with them (for too long…)
I think we have survey.nixos.org running on it so we will likely need to give some love. | 21:20:44 |
hexa | we also have some custom changes in nixos/infra that need to be merged back, like nginx support | 21:34:36 |
