if you want to take a stab at implementing workloads then PRs are welcome :) I unfortunately didn’t have the time to take a look at that issue i'd try but i have close to no experience with nix as a language, so i'd have no idea about actually implementing anything | 11:55:45 |
| Emma [it/its] | i'd be willing to test manually add all the workload packages into packages in 7.0.nix but i'd need to figure out how i'd even calculate all the sha256's | 11:57:58 |
 mdarocha | you can start by looking into dotnet’s update.sh script to see how they are generated | 11:58:35 |
| mdarocha | but for workloads, I believe a better starting point will be the nix-maui rep referenced in the issue I linked | 11:59:02 |
| Emma [it/its] | well there the issue starts that i have no clue what i'm doing when it comes to nix | 11:59:34 |
| mdarocha | yeah, this unfortunately doesn’t seem like an easy issue for beginners :/ | 12:00:03 |
| Emma [it/its] | hence why i proposed to test if adding all workloads' packages into the packages array would work in a local nixpkgs checkout | 12:00:41 |
| Emma [it/its] | though, it looks like i could just add the package names in update.sh and the script would take care of the hashes? | 12:01:24 |
| mdarocha | you can check it, sure, I’m not sure if it will work or not | 12:01:25 |
| mdarocha | yep, that’s how the lost in the nix files is generated | 12:01:40 |
| mdarocha | * yep, that’s how the list in the nix files is generated | 12:01:47 |
| Emma [it/its] | i wish i had the bandwidth to just clone the repo in full without --depth=1 | 12:03:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | oh well | 12:03:35 |
| Emma [it/its] | the nix maui flake does seem to have all of the workloads written down in nix | 12:12:52 |
| Emma [it/its] | oh, you can just use nix-prefetch-url to get the hash, neat | 12:17:05 |
