 Las | It doesn't have to do caching, since it's for bootstrapping | 07:35:40 |
 Gytis Ivaskevicius | Latest nixpkgs fails to build nix due to , withAWS ? !enableStatic && (stdenv.isLinux || stdenv.isDarwin), aws-sdk-cpp | 12:21:29 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | 👀 | 12:21:35 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | and its release-21.05 | 12:21:46 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | i swear i must be high or something super unprofessional happend | 12:22:07 |
 toonn | The branch or the channel? Because I assume the channel has checks to prevent propagation when nix fails to build. | 12:24:11 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | I guess the branch. Im on flakes | 12:24:34 |
 manveru | Eelco Dolstra: anything left to do for https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4922 ? | 15:52:31 |
 fzakaria | what's the best approach to build Nix incrementally? | 16:44:27 |
| fzakaria | Is it through nix-shell steps? | 16:44:47 |
 tomberek | fzakaria: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/149934349/download/1/manual/contributing/hacking.html | 16:47:19 |
 Mic92 | fzakaria: use nix develop instead of nix-shell so | 16:53:25 |
| Mic92 | nix-shell technically works but nix develop should be faster | 16:53:39 |
| Mic92 | ah. it mentiones that | 16:53:47 |
| fzakaria | yea i guess i could upstream a note mentioning that is preferred if you want incremental since nix-build throws it away in /tmp | 16:54:17 |
| fzakaria | (would be cool if nix-build could make use of a ccache so you get nix-build simple invocation but also incremental) | 16:54:37 |
| fzakaria | also if there are attributes to build individual binaries
nix-build -A nix | 16:54:53 |
| Mic92 | I think there was some impure thing in nixpkgs that did that. | 16:55:10 |
| Mic92 | I rather prefer not a sandbox so if I want to debug stuff. | 16:55:24 |
| fzakaria | oh i see ccacheStdenv; i'll have to read up on that. | 16:58:09 |
| fzakaria | (I haven't enabled nix develop yet.. i'm one of those people... lol) | 16:58:19 |

|  siraben changed their display name from siraben to siraben (he/him). | 19:38:02 |
 abathur | Someone in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5143 is trying to build/install nix on ChromeOS, just in case anyone can spare them the trouble or give them advice? | 22:37:04 |

| Gytis Ivaskevicius | I was wondering what is the reason for builtins.fetchGit / builtins.fetchTarball not returning a derivation? | 10:04:57 |
| Las | Gytis Ivaskevicius: you can builtins.readFile or import from them then | 10:27:41 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | Yeah, im aware | 10:28:04 |
 sterni | Gytis Ivaskevicius: because they are not derivations | 10:28:09 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | Yeah, obviously | 10:28:27 |
| sterni | they are fetched directly at eval time by the evaluator more or less | 10:28:33 |
| Gytis Ivaskevicius | but why arent they derivations | 10:28:34 |
