 @jollywater:matrix.org | could very easily contribute some rust code | 07:54:53 |
 emily | FWIW I wouldn't necessarily agree with this – sometimes there is just not going to be an upstream thing for what we need | 12:59:17 |
| emily | admittedly systemd is implementing more and more glue stuff, but it's often highly opinionated to the extent that "this doesn't work for NixOS" will just get a "meh" | 12:59:44 |
| emily | we have to take ownership of a lot of glue, it's just that right now a bunch of it is random inlined Bash | 12:59:56 |

| @m4dc4pxx:matrix.org | Hello! I'm trying to do some nix hacking on macos. I've built nix successfully, but my changes aren't showing up when I run the binary. (I've added logging I'm pretty sure I should see, and its not there.) I suspect its because my system nix uses the multi-user setup and the daemon is not running the binary I built. Is there any solution besides replacing the system nix? Or am I looking in the wrong direction? Appreciate any help!

 dramforever | depending on what changes you're looking to do | 15:52:37 |
| dramforever | if it's something you want to change in system nix then of course you have to replace system nix | 15:52:59 |
| @m4dc4pxx:matrix.org | On MacOS is that my only option when I want to run a build with my modified binary? | 15:57:10 |
