@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92Not quiet sure how this would be used in Nix?11:42:35
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn EricsonI talked to that guy about better process spawning at one point 21:01:51
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn EricsonKinda analogous 😎21:02:15

⁦Ec2 image builds started breaking with hash mismatches. I'm suspecting bug in nix?

https://github.com/NixOS/amis/issues/328

Anyone have any clue what might be causing this? I'm out of ideas

For context, this is using the make-disk-image.nix machinery from NixOS⁦      ⠀

Forwarding my question from the other channel. Is it known to be reproducible?
16:19:10
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Or is just that report that’s on Ubuntu?16:20:13
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Could it be that those store paths did actually get modified by sort of SNAFU.16:22:14
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): OK so for the rootless daemon stuff, I think https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/15054 is the first step 19:37:59
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson(in other news, I am working on windows for open no follow symlinks and read symlink at :))19:38:18
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonthis is good because it is pure testing, and no code changes....for something that supposed to just work, right?19:38:51
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)I mean, if we could just get the windows-specific code out of the way for the actual symlink races cleanup that would be great19:38:59
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson(and I guess is also supposed to be close to the Lix set up you were describing)19:39:05
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Lemme find what afnix had for the bind-mounted store. That should be helpful19:39:39
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonok cool, thanks!19:39:48
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): wine not implementing symlinks makes me sad 20:09:03
