@emilazy:matrix.orgemily is it known/expected that pkgsStatic.nixVersions.nix_2_26, pkgsCross.*.nixVersions.nix_2_26, etc., all cause a throw? this seems like another regression of importing the flake packaging into Nixpkgs 17:44:12

@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn EricsonI don't think so?18:23:10
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonthanks for pointing out18:23:16
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily

another question:

# boost is a public dependency, but not a pkg-config dependency unfortunately, so we
# put in `deps_other`.

why? Boost has .pc files (in Nixpkgs at least), and this breaks e.g. Rust pkg_config parsing the dependencies out of the .pc files

@emilazy:matrix.orgemily (fwiw, nixVersions.latest is also not 2.26, although I had been assuming that was intentional while the packaging bakes) 18:34:59
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson @emilazy:matrix.org: oh awesome! 18:35:35
