 Artturin | * What commits? | 18:16:43 |
| Artturin | * overriding doesn't preserve splicing so the __splicedPackages there does nothing (in the "previous solution" it did something) | 18:18:48 |
| Artturin | * overriding doesn't preserve splicing so the __splicedPackages there does nothing (in the "previous solution" it did something because you didn't .override) | 18:22:48 |
| Artturin | * What commits? You can find them in git reflog | 18:32:40 |
 lzcunt | the commits that removed zlib from python3Minimal | 18:38:23 |
| lzcunt | is there a way to splice the overridden package? | 18:38:40 |
| Artturin | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/267792 | 18:40:58 |
| Artturin | Maybe the self and pythonAttr are causing your issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/ce72a12fd00a945c0b7717b3ea2ce51d5c42a20c/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/default.nix#L105-L107 | 18:42:38 |
| Artturin | You should really do an overlay to overwrite | 18:42:50 |

| Artturin | python3MinimalWithZlib = python3.override { self = __splicedPackages.python3MinimalWithZlib; pythonAttr = "python3MinimalWithZlib"; ... } | 18:43:41 |
| Artturin | meson.override { python3 = python3MinimalWithZlib; } | 18:43:59 |
| Artturin | * ...meson.override { python3 = python3MinimalWithZlib; } | 18:44:02 |
| lzcunt | Redacted or Malformed Event | 18:44:16 |
| lzcunt | wrong reply | 18:44:27 |
| lzcunt | well I intend for this to be merged to nixpkgs | 18:44:40 |
| Artturin | There's some python3.override's in nixpkgs but they're doing packageOverrides, not overriding python.
python = python3.override {
self = python;
packageOverrides = self: super: { sqlalchemy = super.sqlalchemy_1_4; };
};
| 18:46:59 |
 emily | you should really just try to get full Python building | 18:47:11 |
| emily | Darwin bootstrap does it | 18:47:16 |
| Artturin | * There's some python3.override's in nixpkgs but they're doing packageOverrides, not overriding python. (I don't think they cause a python rebuild though)
python = python3.override {
self = python;
packageOverrides = self: super: { sqlalchemy = super.sqlalchemy_1_4; };
};

| lzcunt | openssl, libffi, and probably others have infinite recursions because they all do cc.isGNU which depends on the libc which depends on meson which is rough | 18:48:09 |
| lzcunt | but i'll look into darwin bootstrap | 18:48:16 |
| lzcunt | * openssl, libffi, and probably others have infinite recursions because they all do cc.isGnu or whatever which depends on the libc which depends on meson which is rough | 18:48:29 |
| lzcunt | hm i just tried buildPackages.buildPackages.meson out of curiosity and it's building now, i remember trying this before but i don't remember what went wrong | 19:02:37 |
| lzcunt | it's been like 6 months since i tried that | 19:02:51 |
| lzcunt | maybe I can just use the build machine's non-cross meson and i don't need to override python. i believe upstream does that too | 19:03:50 |
| Artturin | Meson is multi arch by default isn't it, and it uses a cross file https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/lib/meson.nix | 19:05:01 |
| Artturin | so pkgsBuildBuild of meson should be fine | 19:05:09 |
| lzcunt | yea and this is technically a freestanding package | 19:05:19 |
| lzcunt | well there's two ways to build it | 19:05:29 |
