 pentane | Afaik yes | 19:58:07 |
 matthewcroughan @fosdem | It's so crazy that google depends on that lol | 19:58:17 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Such cruft | 19:58:23 |
| pentane | have you ever tried to read git-repo source code? ,-, | 19:58:40 |
| pentane | I have, and I ended up just testing the cases I was interested in instead of trying to understand it | 19:58:58 |
|  @samueldr:matrix.org left the room. | 19:59:06 |
| pentane | in repo2nix, I resorted to just implementing a non-cursed subset of the git-repo features | 19:59:57 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | You cannot be the only one | 20:00:07 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | it's clearly dying | 20:00:09 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | thank you so much for spending time on this dying thing | 20:00:13 |
| pentane | Yeah, it was a pain | 20:00:28 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | It's the same story with a lot of embedded stuff though | 20:01:54 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | like Zephyr and West | 20:02:00 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | And they're always so proud when they reinvent the wheel | 20:02:26 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/west/index.html | 20:02:57 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | "meta-tool" | 20:03:07 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | As if calling something a meta tool, makes it any easier to understand | 20:03:23 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Oh my god.. At the bottom of the page:
Zephyr is an English name for the Latin Zephyrus, the ancient Greek god of the west wind.
| 20:04:53 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Why do they do this | 20:04:57 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | They philosophise so much.. think so big.. and the end result is some buggy over-engineered nightmare | 20:05:10 |

 Atemu | Can you please keep it on-topic? | 20:06:08 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Yeah sorry | 20:06:15 |

| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Is there an easy way around the rate limits? | 20:06:38 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | You can't perform a build of robotnix from scratch without hitting them | 20:06:53 |
| pentane | none that I know of, either throttle your own connection or reduce the number of simultaneous builds ig | 20:07:15 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Yeah.. throttling own connection. Rate limits are an interesting impurity that isn't handled in nixpkgs at all basically | 20:07:47 |
| pentane | occasionally, I also rotated through some Mullvad proxies to avoid the ratelimit | 20:07:50 |
| matthewcroughan @fosdem | Like all fetchers would need to implement this if it were to be supported | 20:07:55 |
