 emily | by a technical problem, I mean it not working because we want to flip the "allow variants" switch off by default | 01:37:33 |
| emily | which might cause pkgsCross to simply not be possible to reference from Nixpkgs | 01:37:46 |
| emily | OTOH, there are things to work out before that would be feasible, for pkgsCross | 01:37:54 |
| emily | if there is no immediate technical limitation to using it for passthru.tests then I see no problem doing it there | 01:38:06 |
| emily | (but it should still be avoided in actual derivation bodies where possible) | 01:38:15 |
 dramforever | if it's an entire platform maybe we should add it to pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix | 01:38:21 |
| dramforever | although tbh i'm not sure who's watching that | 01:39:58 |
 rosssmyth | Perhaps, mingwW64 is already on there but it seems for some subset of packages | 01:40:08 |
| rosssmyth | I don't even know where to look for such things. I do not understand the Hydra interface if it is there somewhere | 01:42:57 |
|  @creepinson:matrix.org left the room. | 01:43:03 |
| dramforever | this probably https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/cross-trunk | 01:44:25 |
| rosssmyth | I would like to fix rust cross compiling for mingwW64, as it has been broken for a while, but I would also like to add a test so it doesn't break in the future is my motivation | 01:48:00 |

 siraben | curious, did we ever get cosmopolitan libc off into some sort of cross? | 15:51:42 |
| siraben | they are on version 4.0.2 now but we are on 2.2 | 15:53:06 |
| siraben | will attempt an update and see how nontrivial it is | 15:53:57 |
| siraben | https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/releases/tag/4.0.2 | 15:54:35 |
| siraben | their release notes say bash, emacs, vim, git, links, wget work | 15:54:47 |
| siraben | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/381557 cosmoccStdenv proposal | 15:56:20 |
| emily | AIUI it requires fairly substantial patching of software | 16:00:53 |
| emily | which isn't something we'd want to carry in-tree | 16:00:57 |
| siraben | ah, if so, bummer | 16:09:26 |

| matthewcroughan | I'm pretty close to producing an LLVM/Musl system, but I get
