 K900 | * Honestly we should probably drop it | 16:51:56 |
| K900 | Or at least deprecate it | 16:51:59 |
| K900 | But it costs basically nothing to keep it around for now | 16:52:05 |
| K900 | So it lives on | 16:52:11 |

| GenericNerdyUsername | am i missing something? | 16:53:41 |
| K900 | Missing what? | 16:54:01 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | that looks like a source release with gold | 16:54:13 |
| K900 | Well yes | 16:54:26 |
| K900 | They dropped it from the normal source releases | 16:54:34 |
| K900 | There's now a separate source release with gold for people that really want it for whatever reason | 16:54:44 |
| K900 | Which I guess includes nixpkgs | 16:54:50 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | ohhh | 16:54:59 |
| K900 | You can see there's a binutils-2.44.tar.* | 16:56:03 |
| K900 | That one doesn't have gold | 16:56:06 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | yeah, i was just confused bc no other version has a -with-gold version | 16:56:41 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | i dont really know what to do next about this | 16:57:55 |
 Alyssa Ross | Bisect binutils? | 17:22:59 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | is there a way of doing that without rebuilding everything binutils depends on? | 17:27:36 |
| Alyssa Ross | The easy hack would be to override the source conditionally depending on targetPlatform | 17:36:09 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | warn | 17:46:24 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | oops this isnt my browser | 17:46:40 |
 rhelmot | does doing an override mess up splicing? | 21:04:42 |

| rhelmot | this seems baffling to me lol | 21:05:13 |
| rhelmot | the consequence of this seems to be that if I plop any overridden derivation into nativeBuildInputs it does not get spliced over to buildHost | 21:05:56 |
 Artturin | In reply to @rhelmot:matrix.org
does doing an override mess up splicing? Yes it discards splicing | 21:07:16 |
| Artturin | So get from the right attrset | 21:07:24 |
| rhelmot | ugh. thank you | 21:07:31 |
