 sterni (he/him) | ohh that's what you meant | 14:59:48 |
| sterni (he/him) | quoted the $HACKAGE2NIX var mostly in case someone has it in a path with spaces | 15:00:54 |
 maralorn | Good idea. | 15:02:58 |
 Las | Since GHC 9 won't be switched to as a default, would just compiling the GHC 9 packages in Hydra be fine? | 16:58:00 |
| maralorn | Las: Historically we have done that for a few select packages. We currently have jobs for cabal2nix, hoogle and maybe a few others. | 16:59:16 |
| maralorn | But maye outside a short transition period I don‘t think enabling it for all packages would be an option. | 16:59:52 |
| maralorn | * But (maybe outside a very short transition period) I don‘t think enabling it for all packages would be an option. | 17:00:19 |
| Las | the thing is, on a standard aarch64 device a lot of packages just run out of memory when compiling... | 17:00:44 |
| Las | a lot don't support more than 4 GB of RAM | 17:00:56 |
| Las | (excluding swap) | 17:00:59 |
| maralorn | Las: Are there maybe some popular packages the you need or that have a similar dependency tree? | 17:03:08 |
| Las | Aeson frequently times out IIRC | 17:03:28 |
| Las | * Aeson frequently runs out of memory IIRC | 17:03:38 |
| sterni (he/him) | aeson should already be compiled I'm pretty sure | 17:03:57 |
| sterni (he/him) | since I guess distribution-nixpkgs depends on it | 17:04:08 |
| Las | Really? I must have done something for it not to be fetched from cache then | 17:04:15 |
| Las | For GHC 9? | 17:04:20 |
| sterni (he/him) | yes | 17:04:25 |
| Las | Huh | 17:04:28 |
 toonn | maralorn: Why would you use builtins.attrValues rather than `with lib.maintainers; [ a b ];`? | 17:04:56 |
| sterni (he/him) | when did you try? non standard packages were not built on hydra until a few weeks ago I suspect for non x86_64-linux | 17:04:56 |
| sterni (he/him) | well it wouldn't have the discussed scoping issue | 17:05:26 |
| maralorn | toonn: Because it guarantees that a b come actually from lib.maintainers. | 17:05:46 |
| sterni (he/him) | but I'm still sticking with [ lib.maintainers.a lib.maintainers.b] tbh | 17:05:48 |
| toonn | Wait, with doesn't shadow? | 17:06:23 |
| maralorn | toonn: Nope, it doesn‘t. | 17:06:31 |
| sterni (he/him) | it does not | 17:06:30 |
| Las | If it did that would be horrible | 17:06:36 |
| sterni (he/him) | well both solutions to the issue are kinda bad tbh | 17:06:53 |
| Las | let x = y; in with z; [x] would have a different meaning depending on what z contains | 17:07:07 |
