 matthewcroughan | I don't see how this patch is any more or less relevant than some of the kmod or systemd patches we carry | 16:00:58 |
| matthewcroughan | BTW, if you feel like more hacking, kmod needs to be version bumped, and that patch is crazy | 16:01:17 |
| matthewcroughan | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kmod/module-dir.patch | 16:01:33 |
| matthewcroughan | This makes kmod accept a list of arguments instead of a hardcoded fhs dir | 16:02:04 |
| matthewcroughan | necessary for nixos, similar to your musl patch :) | 16:02:11 |
| matthewcroughan | And we're 3 versions behind on kmod because they've moved to meson, and this patch isn't upstreamed | 16:02:55 |
 dramforever | vendoring my musl patch in nixpkgs is a violation of https://do-not-ship-work-in-progress.gitlab.io/ | 16:03:59 |
| matthewcroughan | Is it any more or less WIP than the kmod patch? | 16:04:31 |
| dramforever | the kmod module-dir.patch doesn't apply because it's nixos specific | 16:04:34 |
| dramforever | so we can't not ship it in nixpkgs | 16:04:44 |
| matthewcroughan | i would argue that the musl patch is nixos specific too, at least I'm sure when you upstream it someone might say something like that | 16:04:54 |
| matthewcroughan | It's a bit of a blurry line | 16:05:12 |
| matthewcroughan | I mean, I wonder how many other edge cases are encountered in musl in nixpkgs because of the lack of the patch you just made | 16:05:51 |
| matthewcroughan | I'm sure it shows up in other places | 16:06:03 |
| dramforever | when upstream says they don't want it then we'll talk | 16:06:28 |
| matthewcroughan | Maybe need to find more and provide them as examples to upstream | 16:06:32 |
| matthewcroughan | Or maybe the systemd kmod context example is good enough :D | 16:06:52 |
| matthewcroughan | But yes, very excited about it working, so good | 16:07:01 |
| dramforever | anyway the real point is that i wrote the patch and it's wip from me so i'm going to say no | 16:08:12 |
| matthewcroughan | Yeah makes sense, I respect that | 16:11:04 |
| matthewcroughan | Damn, why is perl so unstable with musl | 16:11:13 |
| matthewcroughan | nix used to build just fine, now it's all broken because of perl deps | 16:11:21 |

| matthewcroughan | Alyssa Ross: O.o (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/452642#discussion_r2436725816) how do you upstream to perl? | 16:57:10 |
| matthewcroughan | I'm young | 16:57:15 |
| matthewcroughan | Looks like https://github.com/perl5-dbi/dbi actually | 17:00:08 |
 Alyssa Ross | it's not to perl, it's just a perl package | 17:00:09 |
| matthewcroughan | Yeah I meant to the perl ecosystem | 17:00:18 |
