@roberthensing:matrix.orgRobert Hensing (roberth)Has new tests, so that's helpful, but a bit scary. Just learned about new regressions, so I'll be looking into those first11:31:09
@sandro:supersandro.deSandro 🐧Can we get https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/12391 in and backported to fix nix updates for renovate from the tooling side?12:43:27

So I was trying to get nix running on freebsd (inside kvm/qemu) and failing.

The port (https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/sysutils/nix) doesn't compile (it uses an old version of nix and I don't know how to update it).
Nix doesn't have documentation on bootstrapping nix without nix (and even on linux entering the shell + meson setup doesn't work, you need configurePhase)
My last attempt was cross-compiling nix for freebsd from linux (this succeded) but both nix-build and nix build (with the experimental feature flags) fail with this error.

Is there some way to do this that I am missing? If there isn't then the cross-compilation is illusory and there's not actually freebsd support

@rick:matrix.ciphernetics.nlMindaviIs it trying to load curl perhaps?13:29:00
@archercatneo:matrix.orgarchercatneo Curl is installed, I have installed wget now and tried again and that also failed, I can't find what version of openssl is installed (if it is that) but there's definitely a /usr/lib/libssl.so file installed 13:48:23
@aloisw:julia0815.de@aloisw:julia0815.deHow did you get the cross-compiled binary on your FreeBSD system?13:50:27
@archercatneo:matrix.orgarchercatneo nix copy nixpkgs#pkgCross.x86_64-freebsd.nix --no-check-sigs into a shared folder then from freebsd cp into /nix/store 13:53:52
@aloisw:julia0815.de@aloisw:julia0815.deThat should be the correct way to do it since all dependencies are in the store too, so something is broken.13:55:04
@aloisw:julia0815.de@aloisw:julia0815.deThat said I'm not sure the error message refers to a shared library actually missing, it could just as well be some configuration or CA certificate file.13:56:54

hi, i was wondering if it was:

  1. possible to use multiple URLs for a single flake input as a fallback, and
  2. if it is not currently possible, if it would get merged if there was a PR for it, and
  3. if it would not get merged, why it is a bad idea
