 matthewcroughan | but the argument you pass it, is a path, not a file | 14:27:22 |
| matthewcroughan | git+file:/home/foo is not a file, but this is necessary | 14:27:35 |
| matthewcroughan | it should be git+path:/home/foo | 14:27:49 |
 dramforever | git calls it file https://git-scm.com/book/ms/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protocols | 14:32:20 |
| dramforever | i think path: is a nix invention... probably | 14:33:06 |
 toonn | matthewcroughan: I meant as an extension of the file URI scheme, file:///some/path . | 14:34:48 |

by making it more specific that’s what i was thinking
we could also iterate over the glob matches and use the first one that actually has a /bin/nix subpath as well to be a bit safer (since i really doubt the day will come where we have multiple nix binaries in the store during install) | 16:51:32 |
| getchoo | * this worked before the component split in 2.29 since there would only be one main nix store path at this point, but now it matches the nix-main store path first, which doesn't have a bin dir or any of the nix binaries | 16:52:24 |

| Mic92 | I haven't looked to deep into the code. | 20:23:13 |
| getchoo | it is, but the installation tarball now has multiple paths that match nix-* due to the component split | 20:32:59 |
| getchoo | so depending on the hashes you get, sometimes one of the components will be matched first and the installer will just blindly append the /bin/nix-store subpath to it and try executing | 20:35:12 |

| Mic92 | Okay seems like an easy fix than to just check for the path to exist | 07:56:51 |
|  @adam:robins.wtf joined the room. | 18:01:13 |

| getchoo | yeah, just was away from home yesterday. finished it up a little bit ago https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/pull/48 | 04:33:15 |
|  Julian joined the room. | 10:57:15 |
| @adam:robins.wtf | Mic92: you mentioned wanting some CI improvements for the installer in order to get it official. I can put in some time to help on this. Do you have a list of things you'd want to see added/fixed? | 13:07:08 |
| Mic92 | adamcstephens: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14002 you can help getchoo to fix the installer tarball | 15:41:32 |
| Mic92 | This one: https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/issues/47 | 15:43:01 |
 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Philip Taron (UTC-8): 2.31.2 is up. Up for a nixpkgs bump? | 17:36:04 |
 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | yessir | 17:45:37 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | does that include your bindings banaza | 17:45:51 |

| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @philiptaron:matrix.org
does that include your bindings banaza That won’t get backported. But hopefully 2.32 will be out next week | 17:49:00 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | The update from 2.28 to a newer version is blocked on some regressions Mic mentioned. I'm not tracking that closely. Is 2.32 on track to fix them? | 17:50:15 |

The update from 2.28 to a newer version is blocked on some regressions Mic mentioned. I'm not tracking that closely. Is 2.32 on track to fix them? A preliminary fix has been backported to 2.30/2.31 | 17:50:44 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | As discussed with emily it might be good enough for now. | 17:51:18 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Is that the only defect that would block the update? | 17:52:57 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @philiptaron:matrix.org
Is that the only defect that would block the update? Known - yeah. Hopefully not much else | 17:53:23 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | The only other one I know about is something that makes nom not understand that downloads are done | 17:54:05 |
