 Sigmanificient | Hi! I'm getting issues about Too many files open on my build vps, while trying to build a package in staging | 00:24:36 |
 hexa | that is not a staging related question | 00:24:55 |
| hexa | you are building as root in single user mode | 00:25:09 |
| hexa | export NIX_REMOTE=daemon
| 00:25:23 |
| hexa | you want to pass builds through the nix-daemon for its higher fd limit | 00:26:03 |
| Sigmanificient | Oh, well i havent finished to explain it that you already found the fix 😅 | 00:29:22 |

 ma27 | vcunat any objections to sending https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/379542 (glibc 2.42) now? | 13:02:49 |

vcunat any objections to sending https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/379542 (glibc 2.42) now? We'll also need https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/471270. Not sure of other breakages | 13:21:17 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ | * We'll also need https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/471270 to fix qemu. Not sure of other breakages | 13:21:29 |
| ma27 | not aware of any major breakage. In fact, my laptop is currently running on that branch for testing for a few days.
re. the one you're linking here, we agreed to accept this for now: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/379542#issuecomment-3699768829
Let's not forget that the interface in question (<termio.h>) has been obsolete since the late 90s and from what I've seent his only affects non-native workloads (and apparently even target architectures only that we don't provide full support for). | 13:30:18 |
 dramforever | no, this affects everything except ppc | 18:58:34 |
| dramforever | which is cursed | 18:59:01 |
| dramforever | but qemu only needs staging-nixos, so i think it should be okay to not hold up glibc 2.42 update | 18:59:37 |
 emily | at least some QEMU configuration is pretty load-bearing for NixOS tests | 19:16:05 |
| emily | so we'd presumably want to throw a fix into -next if it blocks basic native VMs | 19:16:20 |
| dramforever | this is linux-user only | 19:39:49 |
| dramforever | so qemu-system-* are all fine | 19:39:56 |
