@tomberek:matrix.orgtomberekYeah. Also might allow for rewrites of the AST. Let-floating, constant folding, fusion/etc.16:57:58

@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)I've fixed it up so it now works in CI as well. Also fixed the missing dependencieds for perl test targets08:07:02
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)If that looks good to you I'll jump on the merge button08:09:03

@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
@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92
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
