alexfmpe | ended up doing 2 PRs to nixpkgs scavenging some trivial patches from haskell.nix | 22:07:01 |
alexfmpe | and some small things I managed to run via wine | 22:07:27 |
alexfmpe | but non-trivial stuff failed due to .dll shenanigans | 22:07:43 |
alexfmpe | now, I didn't really know what I was doing, was just exploring to see if it was feasible to target windows for hobby game dev | 22:08:32 |
alexfmpe | but IIRC John Ericson was saying fixing the dll shenanigans was going to require bunch of work in nixpkgs | 22:09:18 |
alexfmpe | he's been doing a ton of nix-windows work recently so can answer much better than me | 22:10:30 |

raehik | Thanks. I'll leave it for now, Nix gives me enough options to not make my fellow devs miserable (Docker images and the like) | 02:21:16 |

emily | maralorn: any progress on announcing an HLS-matching version support policy in release notes, since 24.11 freeze is upcoming? | 12:38:54 |
maralorn | No, sorry. It’s high on my todolist, but live is happening. I don’t consider it super urgent since just adding a deprecation warning to the release notes only needs to happen until the release and not the freeze, right? | 13:28:41 |
emily | yeah makes sense. I was thinking about it as a breaking change but I guess it's more a notice of an upcoming one :) | 13:34:51 |
maralorn | I‘ll be on a hacking event from Thursday to Sunday. Hopefully I can get to it then. | 13:44:08 |
emily | no worries, hope the hacking is good! just wanted to check in | 13:48:31 |
maralorn | Good, following up. | 13:50:49 |
maralorn | Helps to keep my priorities aligned. 😄 | 13:51:25 |
doyougnu | ha! maralorn thanks for the follow up on that CLC proposal | 14:53:42 |
maralorn | yw thanks for opening it. | 14:58:48 |
| TechMiker changed their display name from Mike Rossiter to TechMiker. | 15:38:30 |
raehik | nix build nixpkgs#pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc98.blake3 fails with an ar/linking (?) error, but nix build nixpkgs#pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc910.blake3 appears to work! might anyone have an insight on this...? | 16:32:49 |
raehik | the package has lots of flags which enable different assembly implementations | 16:33:33 |
sterni (he/him) | not really a lot to go on from this description, but sort of smells like an issue in GHC 9.8 that has been fixed in 9.10 | 18:32:47 |

chreekat | Wow that CLC proposal has been a wild ride. I went in assuming everyone knew that particular module was already a re-export shim, so I assumed the issue at hand was whether or not to simply drop the re-export. I feel like the CLC would have welcomed that. | 01:52:34 |
John Ericson | In reply to @alexfmpe:matrix.org but IIRC John Ericson was saying fixing the dll shenanigans was going to require bunch of work in nixpkgs oh I think it is a lot better now | 04:27:58 |
John Ericson | I have been cross compiling nix itslf | 04:28:05 |
John Ericson | * I have been cross compiling nix itself | 04:28:08 |
