 emily | feel like hydra distributing nixexprs is still what makes the most sense after all this time :) | 14:05:05 |
 Mic92 | Maybe for some stuff but for my dotfiles, where I am hacking on my nixpkgs fork, the shallow clone is many times faster if I do single commits for bug fixes. | 14:06:19 |
| Mic92 | It should be even cheaper for github to compute this delta over serving me the whole nixpkgs all over again. | 14:07:32 |

https://blog.cocoapods.org/Master-Spec-Repo-Rate-Limiting-Post-Mortem/ If I understand it correctly, the problem here was that cocoa initially did a shallow clone but then upgraded that to a full clone, which is expensive

|  Divya joined the room. | 08:13:38 |
| Divya | : Hello! I wanted to know how Nix packages GHC, does it bootstrap it entirely? How do you guys change the process when GHC changes build systems from 9.4 to 9.6 (from make to hadrian)? | 08:13:52 |
| Divya | I'm from Guix's Haskell team, trying to learn how you guys do it so that we can improve our Haskell situation :) | 08:14:37 |
 K900 | That's more of a #Nixpkgs / NixOS contributions question | 08:14:48 |
| K900 | Or maybe the Haskell room | 08:14:51 |
| K900 | (I think we have a Haskell room?) | 08:15:00 |
| K900 | Also @maralorn or @sterni probably know | 08:15:11 |

That's more of a #Nixpkgs / NixOS contributions question Okay, apologies! | 08:16:14 |
| emily | it's bootstrapped from bindist, but yeah see #haskell:nixos.org | 08:16:23 |
| emily | I think full source bootstrap of GHC is still largely theoretical | 08:16:35 |
