 tomberek | got it... I guess i'm due to upgrade | 00:31:28 |
 hexa | bots are basically enumerating all kinds of software versions, so I'm only allowing recent ones | 00:31:33 |
| tomberek | GC tests not ending seems to be an issue.. encountered it some where... we can add a timeout to fail faster. I'm poking into the gc system (see above, Zach's post), might be similar. | 00:35:26 |
| tomberek | i get the same deadlock on gc-auto.sh and gc-non-blocking.sh | 00:39:16 |
| hexa | yeah, adding a timeout would be appreciated | 01:40:58 |
 dramforever | @tomberek:matrix.org @hexa:lossy.network just for the record i am fairly certain "gc" is a red herring, the cause is actually https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/13042 | 08:38:42 |
| dramforever | i don't know how meson works in a nixpkgs build so i think everyone would appreciate some meson wizards check it out | 08:39:35 |
| dramforever | although, i suppose these two are just tests that wait forever for a build to succeed, we could probably just patch the test scripts to not do that | 08:41:31 |
|  martin joined the room. | 09:52:44 |
| martin | The README links the #nix:nixos.org Matrix channel but when I try to join I get an error that it doesn't exist. Shouldn't this rather suggest #users:nixos.org for user support and this channel for development? | 09:57:01 |
| martin | (I'm not entirely sure that the channel doesn't exist ... perhaps sth is broken with my Matrix client/server.) | 09:58:35 |
| martin | Also in the 2nd last section of the CONTRIBUTING.md there's:
For larger changes see the Nix reference manual.
And Nix reference manual is linked to https://nix.dev/manual/nix/development/development/contributing.html which gives me a 403 Forbidden error.

 K900 | It should, yes | 10:02:13 |
| K900 | Are you using some sort of weird web browser? | 10:02:20 |
| martin | No ... I'm using Firefox. | 10:02:33 |
| K900 | With resist_fingerprinting? | 10:02:52 |
| martin | I'm using the default Standard setting of the Enhanced Tracking Protection. | 10:03:36 |
| K900 | Which Firefox version? | 10:04:01 |
| K900 | There's a user-agent whitelist currently to avoid heavy scraping | 10:04:14 |
| martin | Mind you I can access https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.24/development/contributing.html perfectly fine ... it's the /development/ that's giving me a 403. | 10:05:02 |
| K900 | Yes, the /development/ URLs redirect to Hydra | 10:05:37 |
| K900 | nix.dev is not covered by the filtering | 10:05:44 |
| martin | My user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:135.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/135.0. | 10:05:58 |
| K900 | Yeah that might be a little too old | 10:06:24 |
| K900 | That's three major versions behind | 10:06:32 |
| K900 | And EOL | 10:06:35 |
| martin | ok I'll update and try again^^ | 10:07:08 |
| martin | yay it's working with Firefox 138 :) | 10:10:42 |
| martin | sent a PR :) https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13136 | 10:21:53 |
| martin | How can I build only libexpr with meson? | 10:42:17 |
