 K900 | But I'd rather delay the release than release without cached binaries for the second biggest platform | 12:13:04 |
 toonn | That's not really a great option without a solution in sight though. | 12:14:19 |
| toonn | Have many uncached expressions already made it into the unstable channel? | 12:14:39 |
| K900 | Lots, it seems | 12:14:49 |
| toonn | Because these are the kinds of things that would usually hold back channel bumps. | 12:15:08 |
| toonn | Which channel are you on? | 12:15:16 |
| K900 | nixpkgs-unstable | 12:15:24 |
| K900 | It looks like the CDN doesn't update when there are uncached expressions | 12:15:36 |
| K900 | But Github does | 12:15:38 |
| K900 | And I'm using flakes so I'm getting whatever is on Github | 12:15:44 |
| toonn | Ah, you're not actually using channels. You should pin your inputs to avoid things like this. Tracking master like that can always cause cache misses. | 12:16:34 |
| K900 | I'm not tracking master, I'm tracking the nixpkgs-unstable branch | 12:16:52 |
| K900 | And it's all pinned anyway cause flakes | 12:16:59 |
| toonn | That's not much different though. | 12:17:03 |
| K900 | Can you actually tell nix flake to track the CDN? | 12:17:23 |
 lukegb (he/him) | Nah, the nixpkgs-unstable *branch* should follow the channel | 12:17:24 |
| K900 | All the examples I've seen just use github:nixos/nixpkgs | 12:17:32 |
| K900 | Which is how I ended up here | 12:17:42 |
| lukegb (he/him) | The branch is, iirc, updated by the same infrastructure that updates the channel definitions anyway | 12:17:59 |
| toonn | Ah, there's no release-unstable? I know the branch naming isn't intuitive with the stable branches. | 12:18:04 |
| K900 | nixpkgs-unstable the branch seems to follow the nixpkgs-unstable Hydra job at least | 12:18:29 |
| lukegb (he/him) | You say that you're missing rustc from nixpkgs-unstable though? | 12:19:31 |
| K900 | Yes | 12:20:25 |
| K900 | Oh god wait I might be an idiot | 12:26:29 |
| K900 | OK no I'm not | 12:27:08 |
| K900 | It is building the right branch | 12:27:14 |
| toonn | I guess rustc may not be in the set of things that need to be fully evaluated before the channel advances. | 12:28:28 |
| toonn | Which is a bit unfortunate since sphinx has started depending on it and tons of stuff depends on that for documentation. | 12:28:52 |
| lukegb (he/him) | https://p.lukegb.com/MildlyDaringHoneybee.txt looks fine to me | 12:28:58 |
| lukegb (he/him) | what attrpath are you trying to build? | 12:30:22 |
