| dgb | hey everyone, I'm looking at making my first contribution to nixpkgs - what's the best practice for building multiple dotnet modules out of a single git repo? I'd like to add the bicep-langserver package from the same repo as this tool: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/bi/bicep/package.nix | 22:39:11 |
 Corngood | I'd say it sort of depends on the structure of the repo and the build process. You could build them together in a single derivation, you could make the language server a separate derivation and inherit src/version, or keep them completely separate. | 23:23:41 |
| Corngood | We have `roslyn-ls`, which uses the main Roslyn repo but builds only the language server. | 23:25:37 |
| dgb | Yeah, they're separate csproj files in the upstream repo. I didn't realize building multiple projects in the same derivation was an option. I think that makes the most sense. Thanks for the advice | 23:38:51 |

| dgb | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/382993 alright, well there it is | 01:51:52 |

| lzcunt | Heyy, packaging a dotnet app. It seems to run nuget restore instead of dotnet restore in its makefile, and seemingly fetch-deps doesn't do that | 21:18:09 |
| lzcunt | I have no idea why those two commands are any different, I am not really a dotnet person. Testing manually, it seems dotnet restore fails to find anything to restore at all. What should I do? | 21:18:19 |
 6pak | nuget would likely call the legacy mono/netfx nuget client | 21:20:34 |
| 6pak | while nixpkgs only really supports the modern dotnet sdk | 21:20:43 |
| lzcunt | Ah, is there a way to get the solution to restore with dotnet instead? | 21:21:14 |
| 6pak | what app is it? | 21:21:24 |
| lzcunt | OpenBVE | 21:21:28 |
| lzcunt | train simulator :3 | 21:21:35 |
| 6pak | "makefile" sounds like it does some custom build logic | 21:21:44 |
| lzcunt | it barely does any logic | 21:21:52 |
| lzcunt | it's checking for dependencies then just calling nuget and msbuild | 21:22:06 |
| 6pak | it uses the legacy project format and packages.config, but it should still work with modern dotnet sdk | 21:22:43 |
| 6pak | just try doing dotnet restore/dotnet build | 21:22:53 |
| lzcunt | they say to build with mono but idk the difference between dotnet core and mono | 21:23:08 |

Determining projects to restore...
Nothing to do. None of the projects specified contain packages to restore.
| 21:23:44 |
| 6pak | mono has been abandoned for years | 21:23:48 |

| 21:23:53 |
| 6pak | ever since dotnet was open sourced | 21:23:55 |
| lzcunt | this is with dotnet restore | 21:24:08 |
| 6pak | * mono has been (effectively) abandoned for years | 21:24:13 |
