 n3tcat | I have some C code building now (well, flashing to the RAM) but yeah that is something I would love to do | 20:45:39 |
| n3tcat | Where do I find newlib folks? Would I just open a PR with your change and then hopefully they will comment on it? | 20:45:53 |
 K900 | I think they're still on like | 20:46:25 |
| K900 | CVS or some shit | 20:46:27 |
| n3tcat | What is CVS? | 20:46:54 |
| n3tcat | oh wait this would be a patch outside of nixos wouldn't it | 20:47:05 |
| K900 | Yeah, I mean upstream newlib | 20:47:21 |

What is CVS? Oh god | 20:47:24 |
| * K900 crumbles to dust | 20:47:30 |
| K900 | CVS is like | 20:47:48 |
| K900 | The original version control system | 20:47:56 |
| K900 | CVS to SVN is what SVN is to hit | 20:48:15 |
| K900 | * CVS to SVN is what SVN is to git | 20:48:24 |
| K900 | Roughly | 20:48:26 |
| K900 | But also looks like they have mailing lists | 20:48:32 |
| K900 | https://sourceware.org/newlib/ | 20:48:34 |
| K900 | I don't know how active they are though | 20:48:43 |
| n3tcat | oh no | 20:48:44 |
| n3tcat | How bad would it be to just open a PR to nixpkgs with your patch? I am not sure how much I want to deal with newlib stuff | 20:49:10 |
| K900 | Uhhh | 20:49:44 |
| K900 | I mean you can | 20:49:56 |
| K900 | But generally I think if the upstream is at least somewhat alive, it's worth it to reach out | 20:50:22 |
| K900 | Because it both makes things easier for the commons | 20:50:36 |
| n3tcat | Okay I'll do my best | 20:50:41 |
| K900 | And makes things easier for nixpkgs long term | 20:50:42 |
| K900 | But also especially with those older crustier upstreams it's often easier to talk to people first before you throw a patch over the fence | 20:51:33 |
 emily | SCCS and RCS disliked this post. | 20:57:34 |

 Kamilla 'ova | Hi, qt6 cross is still not supported? | 15:23:43 |
| Kamilla 'ova | Or maybe there were attempts to fix it? After mine in August 2024 | 15:25:10 |
| K900 | I don't think there have been any | 15:26:21 |
