@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuAh disambiguation: on building the lix project20:57:39
@jaen:matrix.orgjaenPart of it is probably because they spawn `nix` to write the dynamic derivation20:57:40
@jaen:matrix.orgjaenOr maybe lix uses some feature they don't support yet20:57:58
@jaen:matrix.orgjaenBut for AOSP it's certainly the sheer scale20:58:09
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuAh, hm it might not worked on Lix now that I think about it but I built some other medium sized project and it could barely handle that and took quite a lot of time to even begin building anything20:59:01
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuIf we're going to make it incremental, I think the only way forward is the hard way; packaging every AOSP project as a drv and wiring them together ourselves21:01:42
@atemu12:matrix.orgAtemuIf you have experience with ninja, make and the like, there's probably lots you could help us with here21:02:33

Maybe so, but I wouldn't discount it until it has a proper parallel parser (part I was working on) and doesn't have to spawn nix to do things with derivation. If both those are fixed and it still chokes - fair enough, I guess.
