emily | the main advantage is: we should deprecate fetchpatch2 as soon as we have fetchpatch3 | 19:51:16 |
emily | whereas fetchpatch will take a long time to migrate | 19:51:24 |
emily | so every new user of fetchpatch2 makes it more likely we continue using 3 patch fetchers in the tree rather than 2 | 19:51:39 |
@ghpzin:envs.net | Checked again and unfortunately I think it would only make patches situation worse, will see how PR looks like. | 19:51:55 |

Vladimír Čunát | We still have quite a few blockers for future nixpkgs-unstable channel: https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/staging-next/unstable#tabs-constituents mainly around stdenvBootstrapTools. | 08:04:49 |
Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | i am down to around 4 cmake 4 fails on my system, one of which fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/446331 | 08:39:05 |
K900 | What the fuck do you have that uses fltk lol | 08:45:24 |
Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | freecad | 09:23:09 |
Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | well, freecad uses vtk which pulls all kinds of crap (including, but not limited to, fltk) | 09:25:10 |
Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | opencollada-blender needs a fix too, and after that (and periodic merge) i might actually be able to build my system on next | 09:26:34 |

Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | another batch of fails, but its less and less bad. Might get there tomorrow... | 21:47:27 |

xxlpitu | hi, I have a change that fixes a bug in pkgs/build-support/rust/fetch-cargo-vendor-util.py but I'm not sure if I should open a PR to merg in to staging or staging-next. This changes causes every rust package to rebuild. | 18:41:49 |

K900 | Too late for next now | 18:45:36 |
K900 | Will have to be next cycle | 18:45:42 |
xxlpitu | thank you 🙂 | 18:49:17 |
Vladimír Čunát | Yeah, unless that's something critical/urgent, but it doesn't sound so. | 18:49:46 |
xxlpitu | PR in question https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/447298. none urgent, since this is a rare edge case | 20:48:16 |

Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | huh, do we now split and compile rust crates one by one? While switching to -next, my system built like 600 rust crates as their own derivations, which tbh is kinda cool but it didn't do that before | 07:35:00 |
Marie | importCargoLock maybe? | 07:35:42 |
Alyssa Ross | (Which only fetches in separate derivations) | 07:40:18 |
Grimmauld (migrated to @grimmauld:m.grimmauld.de) | interesting... | 07:41:48 |
