 Alyssa Ross | I think you're confused — you asked how to find merges of staging into staging-next. That's a PR to merge staging-next into master. New commits can still be added to it, as long as they don't cause mass rebuilds on Hydra. | 12:48:40 |
 dana | Ah, I see. I guess I thought staging-next is created alongside a PR to release/master and only fixes are merged into it. Thanks! | 12:52:40 |
| Alyssa Ross | Staging is merged into staging-next, and then a staging-next to master PR is opened. New commits can still be added to staging-next after that as long as they don't cause rebuilds, or, rarely, if the rebuilds are judged to be worth it. | 12:54:52 |

 magic_rb | is there a way to get a more minimal haskell bin out of nixpkgs? basic things end up being 3GB in closure size because they pull in GHC through primitive. I've yet to try static builds but that takes ages so isnt really scalable | 10:37:25 |
 maralorn | @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org: Have a look at justStaticExecutables in the nixpkgs manual. | 11:17:00 |
| magic_rb | thanks | 11:18:12 |
| maralorn | Even nicer but minimally more complicated ist enableSeparateBinOutput. | 11:19:16 |
| magic_rb | oh my so much better | 11:21:32 |
| magic_rb | 3GB to 64MB | 11:21:36 |
| magic_rb | thanks a lot | 11:21:37 |
| magic_rb | nice, enableSeparateBinOutput also just works | 11:22:47 |
| magic_rb | this makes haskell acceptable for the usecase i wanted. (reimplementing environment.etc and i dont feel like doing it with a shell script, rather gonna write a haskell binary) | 11:23:20 |
 emily | In reply to @magic_rb:matrix.redalder.org
this makes haskell acceptable for the usecase i wanted. (reimplementing environment.etc and i dont feel like doing it with a shell script, rather gonna write a haskell binary) you know about system.etc.overlay right? | 11:25:11 |
| magic_rb | this is not for nixos | 11:25:18 |
| magic_rb | rather nixng, i need environment.etc for nixos compatibility reasons | 11:25:35 |
| emily | yeah I just mean | 11:25:44 |
| emily | you should just crib that implementation | 11:25:51 |
| emily | it's much better than the Perl nonsense | 11:25:59 |
| emily | and pretty generic | 11:26:06 |
| magic_rb | overlays dont work in containers | 11:26:07 |
| magic_rb | so its not useful | 11:26:12 |
| emily | they should in a mount namespace? | 11:26:22 |
| magic_rb | if you docker run it wont | 11:26:35 |
| magic_rb | im pretty sure | 11:26:43 |
