@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaoh cool00:53:34
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariai'm at DEFCON -- i saw you merged; I'll check it out.00:53:41
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaI also just updated https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13550 at DEFCON :P00:53:47
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria Your change heuristic looked cool Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) but I didn't understand the nix_symlinks_targets 00:56:15

So the nix-buildand all other nix2 cli are stmlinks to the binary to do the argv dispatch. Those also must be created before the test suite is run.

@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/github-integration how do we feel about giving this a spin?15:53:10
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonit might be nice to have some non-nix ways of building nix in there, not as required-pass, if they won't waste too many github action slots15:53:40
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Maybe as a post-merge check?16:37:08
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)But there's also no vcpkg recipe for nix and I don't think anybody would willingly use vcpkg16:38:28
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 @xokdvium:matrix.org: what do you want to achieve? Is this about caching object files from compilation? 18:30:27

In reply to @fzakaria:one.ems.host
interesting change is making "ref" available to the flake attributes. I only include if impure.
Is there a usecase for this outside of fixing the particular bug you want to fix?
18:40:42
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaDefinitely makes it easier to test. Feels correct though if it's metadata that's given.18:41:39
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): i noticed you DM but Matrix isn't letting me respond to you 19:01:33
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)I really should just host a homeserver. m.org sucks19:02:15
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaI pay for Element One and it's still garbage19:02:41
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaI'm also at DEFCON and it's a very spotty connection19:14:47
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbWhats it saying?19:15:33
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariajust keeps timing out trying to join the channel19:16:07
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaand respond19:16:09
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbSomething is stuck in their synapse. Tbh do host your i never have these since i tuned mine19:17:20
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rb But anyway, not the right channel 19:17:36
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbIt will probably unstuck itself. One of the event workers or something may be overloaded a bit19:18:00

@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonoh is it not good?21:04:32
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn EricsonI was thinking, just whatever is the easiest way to do a fully MSVC no mingw build21:04:47
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13736 step 1 21:32:22
