 trofi | Experiment shows it happens to work \o/ | 09:42:57 |
 sterni | any concerns bumping nixUnstable to this particular revision in nixpkgs? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/139234 would like to update lowdown now… | 17:57:39 |
 nrdxp | there might be some folks relying on the submodule behavior which was recently reverted, so you might break someone's workflow 😅
Other than that, I would at least wait til the PR is merged. | 21:19:56 |
| sterni | which PR? | 21:20:29 |
| sterni | not too concerned by breaking someones™ workflow, it's unstable nix after all :p | 21:21:25 |
 tomberek | sterni: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5284 a change in behavior and then a quick change back. So it's best to not have a version bump of nixUnstable in between those points. | 22:09:05 |

| trofi | How can I get why nix store gc detects an inconsistency in db? Looks like I have a single undeletable path:
$ nix store gc
0 store paths deleted, 0.00 MiB freed
error: executing SQLite statement 'delete from ValidPaths where path = '/nix/store/2pklamh9d8x964wbawway71rks402bxr-gcc-11.1.0-lib';': constraint failed (in '/nix/var/nix/db/db.sqlite')
| 08:01:17 |
| trofi | Perhaps comes from the only non-cascade constraint: CREATE TABLE Refs (... foreign key (reference) references ValidPaths(id) on delete restrict ); | 08:28:27 |
| trofi | Filed https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5320. | 08:58:46 |
| sterni | tomberek: alright, bumped to current master | 13:11:31 |

| trofi | Is there a way to encode trailing whitespace in nix.conf? nix develop -f. re2c --bash-prompt-suffix "dev> " does work from commandline, but I was not able to add it to nix.conf via bash-prompt-suffix = dev> . | 09:53:48 |
 toonn | trofi: I assume you tried quoting it? | 11:34:14 |
| trofi | I tried as bash-prompt-suffix = "dev> " it appens it with quotes: "dev> ". Maybe there are other ways to quote it? | 11:42:32 |
| trofi | man nix.conf is not very elaborate on available syntax of the file. | 11:44:00 |
| trofi | Looking at https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/src/libutil/config.cc#L79-L130 all whitespace detail is ignored and is considered a token separator. | 11:51:18 |

| toonn | trofi: Hmm, the `\ ` probably won't work either? | 09:39:41 |
| trofi | Yeah, bash-prompt-suffix = dev>\ produces "dev>" prompt :) | 18:39:08 |
| trofi | Trick question: in contents addressed nix suppose you make a change that is not changing contents of a core package (say, bash). How many packages besides bash do you expect to be rebuilt on world upgrade? :) | 18:42:23 |
| trofi | Looks like it's just two on my system: texlive-combined(?) and R: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5333 | 21:41:40 |
| 5 Oct 2021 |
| trofi | Filed https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5333. I think inputDrvs should be somehow re-sorted in content-addressed mode. Then we would avoid rebuild of both. | 09:31:44 |

 niksnut | If there are no objections, I'd like to branch 2.4 now. | 12:53:34 |
 balsoft | If there are still known bugs that's OK I'm assuming? | 12:53:57 |
| balsoft | E.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5289 | 12:54:13 |
| niksnut | Yeah, if they're not regressions | 12:54:38 |
