 p14 | The problem is that many obvious places to put a git repository don't provide an efficient way to acquire a checkout tree of nixpkgs at a specific commit. | 15:04:18 |
| p14 | (e.g, I don't think gerrit provides an equivalent of github's /archive/) | 15:04:32 |
 Alyssa Ross | Gerrit is usually paired with gitiles, which dose. | 15:05:59 |
| p14 | Right but can nix fetch a tree through it? | 15:06:17 |
| Alyssa Ross | * | 15:06:19 |
| p14 | (and better, can I redirect requests to github to a gitiles instance?) | 15:06:38 |
| Alyssa Ross | I don't think so, although it could — we have a gitiles fetcher in Nixpkgs. | 15:06:42 |
| p14 | Right, fetching via gitiles could work. But I don't see a fetcher in nix? (No grep hits, no PR hits). And even if there was, there would also need to be a redirection mechanism in nix | 15:12:28 |
| p14 | So, I think I have a sort-of route. 1) we’d need a gitiles fetcher. 2) the machines which can’t access github can have a registry pin for nixpkgs which points them to the private gitiles mirror. Minor detail that a gitiles would be needed.
And the other minor detail that any flake lockfiles made on those machines would end up referencing the mirror, and not the original github repository as you would probably want. | 17:30:43 |
| p14 | An additional annoyance is that the mirror actually has different URLs in different contexts. So you’d really not want to write those into lockfiles if possible. | 17:33:57 |

 matthewcroughan | I'm now experiencing this on my NixOS machine itself, after upgrading to 2.25.x https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10630 | 14:48:00 |
| matthewcroughan | Using nix-shell -p nixVersions.nix_2_24 fixes it, but I'll update the issue to reflect that. | 14:48:33 |
| matthewcroughan | Probably https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10683 as well | 14:56:55 |
| matthewcroughan | Basically for whatever reason things are going at like 50kbps for me on new nix :P | 14:58:23 |
