unfortunately the GHC build fails at the very end, so it's gonna be a pain to fix wish nix had a better story for this. I guess you could use --keep-build-dir or whatever it is? | 09:48:32 |

 sterni (he/him) | yeah, but reproducing the build env faithfully is not easy | 09:48:55 |
| sterni (he/him) | since nix-shell is different in subtle ways | 09:49:07 |
| joe (he/him) | I feel you] | 09:49:37 |

| sterni (he/him) | https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/ec451cac39de919621c783fec809c26fb9f0d1c8 okay this is the culprit, not too bad | 09:50:01 |
| sterni (he/him) | also I think I have actually experienced https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/9221 now | 09:50:46 |
| sterni (he/him) | meaning when I build GHC on my server which has like a 2012 desktop PC CPU GHC builds faster than on whatever hydra was throwing it on | 09:51:23 |
| sterni (he/him) | 🤠👍 | 09:51:37 |
|  siraben joined the room. | 10:10:35 |
| siraben | 👋 | 10:10:56 |
| sterni (he/him) | hi! | 10:11:02 |
| sterni (he/him) | siraben: are you among the M1 owners btw | 10:15:25 |
| siraben | No | 10:15:33 |
| siraben | 2.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 | 10:15:39 |
| sterni (he/him) | kk | 10:15:40 |
| siraben | Late 2013 hehe | 10:15:48 |
| sterni (he/him) | that's almost as old as my mac | 10:16:12 |
| siraben | which year is yours from? | 10:16:43 |
| sterni (he/him) | 2012 or 2011 I think | 10:25:08 |
| sterni (he/him) | greaaaat so fixing GHC on darwin involves checks notes packaging an Apple fork of a python library / tool | 10:25:30 |
| siraben | sterni (he/him): do builds take a while for you as well on darwin? | 10:26:28 |
| siraben | I guess we run older machines but on linux it feels a lot faster | 10:26:36 |
|  vaibhavsagar joined the room. | 10:28:58 |
| sterni (he/him) | never compared on the same machine | 10:37:22 |
| sterni (he/him) | but darwin GHC takes for ever | 10:37:26 |
 pwmosquito | sterni (he/him) maralorn at our company quite a few people already work on M1s and over time more will follow. If it's helpful for you I think I can arrange a dedicated M1 mac mini for you to build on. What do you think? | 11:51:00 |
 maralorn | pwmosquito: I’m sorry, but I don‘t have enough spare time to maintain platforms I don‘t use. | 11:54:48 |
