 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 |
 roberth | martin: with the flake, nix build .#default.libs.nix-expr. For development, instead of meson compile run ninja src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so or meson test nix-expr-tests (runs unit tests, but most of our coverage is in the functional test suite, i.e. meson test) | 12:00:57 |
