@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossAh, no, the overlay only applies the custom stdenv to Nix19:22:26
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossSo it won't work19:22:28
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rosscc Ericson2314 19:22:30
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross(It might not actually be ABI compatibility that's the problem — I just remember that it's definitely not expected for this to work)19:31:41
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson Alyssa Ross: if you are using --gcc-toolchain as we are on Linux, isn't it supposed to be ABI compatible? 21:27:53
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson(more precisely, it is using at least parts of libstdc++ and friends so the ABI is the same?)21:28:49
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn EricsonI don't fully get it but I always do clang development builds (mainly out of habit) and don't think I had a problem yet21:29:28
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rosshmm, maybe it is?21:31:15
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI'm not sure21:31:26
@qyriad:matrix.org@qyriad:matrix.orgclangStdenv links libgcc and libstdc++ on Linux, as is the default for Clang on Linux23:37:45
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa RossI definitely remember it being a problem before, but maybe it wasn't always this way.23:39:51

@delroth:delroth.net@delroth:delroth.nethi there - what is the current "tech stack" recommendation for writing new documentation for currently undocumented projects in the Nix ecosystem? in this case, mostly internal facing (github.com/nixos/infra), if it changes anything03:23:33
@delroth:delroth.net@delroth:delroth.net(my ideal requirements: proper multipage support with navigation, markdown or at least not docbook, preferably a stylesheet that's not straight out of the 90s)03:25:40
@delroth:delroth.net@delroth:delroth.net(this sounds like something which should be documented, maybe with templates, btw :P but I didn't find anything after some quick research)03:26:31

hi there - what is the current "tech stack" recommendation for writing new documentation for currently undocumented projects in the Nix ecosystem? in this case, mostly internal facing (github.com/nixos/infra), if it changes anything
There is no recommendation 🥲
We have at least 3 different toolchains used throughout all our docs and want to find a way to reduce that amount (ideally to 1 toolchain), but afaik we haven't yet put the effort to see what things would fit our needs the best
05:05:46
@danielsidhion:nixos.devdanielsidhionI literally got started on this exploration today. I want to make some internal nixpkgs docs (all the readme.md files) more visible, so I'm on a similar path as you05:07:55
