What's up with the nix-meson-build-support folders ? It’s just a helper for deduplicating shared meson code. Since meson only allows importing shared code via subdirs from the subdirectory it gets in-repo symlinked to all subprojects. There isn’t a much better way to deduplicate code AFAIK with meson. | 12:13:51 |

Awesome news! Is there someone from the Nix core team on deck to make the nixpkgs PR, or would you like community support from (say) me there? You mean for the update? John did it | 14:01:05 |
| Mic92 | However you can bump latest if you want | 14:01:30 |
 fzakaria | Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): things like gen_header have to be redeclared for each subproject? | 14:37:07 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Well, yeah. There’s also /export which does pkgconf file generation and common stuff like enabling warnings. Since componentized builds actually don’t have any subprojects there isn’t any other way to do that. | 14:41:46 |
| fzakaria |
Well, yeah.
I'll play with it; that sounds crazy for each subproject to redlcare thing but /shrug
| 14:43:04 |
| fzakaria | (build systems always surprise me) | 14:43:09 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Well, meson does have a ton of opinionated choices which are somewhat questionable. | 14:45:18 |

| fzakaria | I haven't used it much; i spent the last year doing a lot of Bazel but dunno its any better | 17:27:23 |
| fzakaria | I use ccacheStdenv but looking at ccache -s it always seems to miss. | 17:39:55 |
| fzakaria | i have this little fork https://github.com/fzakaria/nix/tree/linux-simple where I removed darwin, Windows and other stuff to try and get a small Nix kernel | 20:12:35 |

| @sally:catgirl.cloud | I have installed nix docker on Debian, then I installed telegram-desktop on nix. How can I run telegram-desktop on Debian? | 01:37:12 |
 K900 | That's not really a question for this room | 05:42:25 |
| K900 | Maybe #Nix / NixOS | 05:42:30 |

| edouard-lopez | Hello, I'm the maintainer of the pure prompt for Fish shell and I would like to improve my CI to build and test my project against NixOS before release. My current docker is fetching from Github and I would like to fetch from local directory.
Is it the right place to such discussion ? If so any hint? | 09:09:54 |
 Sandro 🐧 | Probably #users:nixos.org ? | 11:42:04 |
| Sandro 🐧 | Don't use short hashes like 6573f71, they may get a collision in the future and then github just returns a 404 | 11:43:00 |
| Sandro 🐧 | You can replace the references with a clone of the repository | 11:43:26 |
