 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 |
| K900 | Same one here | 12:30:57 |
| K900 | ...that is weird | 12:31:02 |
| K900 | Is the CDN being weird again? | 12:31:11 |
| lukegb (he/him) | You sure you don't have a magic extra nixpkgs input that's tracking master somehow? :P | 12:32:10 |
| K900 | I definitely don't | 12:32:21 |
| lukegb (he/him) | What does e.g. curl -v https://cache.nixos.org/2zbj4ag44472w1g94k2fvzgp9i7jwwb9.narinfo get you? | 12:34:07 |
| lukegb (he/him) | Other dumb things: you haven't accidentally removed the cache.nixos.org binary cache? | 12:34:28 |
| K900 | Nope | 12:35:33 |
| K900 | It did fetch some things too | 12:35:39 |
| K900 | Just not all of them for some reason | 12:35:44 |

At that point you have a human doing the Hydra scheduler's job, and the time would be better spent fixing the scheduler, imo I thought hydra would use the nix distributed builders feature and do something like nix-build something/release.nix -A something --dont-abort-on-failed-builds or would that not work? | 12:41:57 |
| lukegb (he/him) | Alas, it's not quite that simple | 12:48:44 |
 Linux Hackerman | K900: the "advance-blocking set" for nixpkgs-unstable is pretty small, maybe try nixos-unstable instead? | 12:49:16 |
| lukegb (he/him) | Linux Hackerman: nixos-unstable won't block on Darwin at all, so that's probably not good advice for someone on Darwin | 12:49:45 |
| Linux Hackerman | Oh right never mind me, missed that bit of context, sorry | 12:50:03 |
| K900 | Yeah, I'm using nixos-unstable for my own boxes | 12:50:31 |
