 Alyssa Ross | Using LLD on aarch64 static is a hack around a rustc bug. It wasn't the intention to force lld on rustc for any architecture long term. | 07:25:45 |
| Alyssa Ross | If Rust for some reason doesn't expect to pass flags through cc on that target, we'd probably need some other check to tell it to use ld | 07:26:19 |

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Happy 4th of July to all 🇺🇸 folks. I spent a little side-quest on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/324619 today. It's all super contained: the only required reading is in the PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269356 from Dec 2023. | 01:16:10 |
| infinisil | I won't be in the office hour today, but y'all are free to sync if you want :) | 17:31:47 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | When I run maintainers/scripts/check-by-name.sh master locally in my nixpkgs repository, without any changes, I get this error:
I/O error: Failed to get the definition info for attribute acl: In /tmp/tmp.bQmCobXFGj/merged/pkgs/stdenv/linux/default.nix, attribute parent node is not an attribute path node: NODE_INHERIT@28432..28603
Does anyone else reproduce this? It appears to be about this line in pkgs/stdenv/linux/default.nix:

What arguments are you passing to the script? | 01:04:19 |
| willbush | Oh I see it's master | 01:05:40 |
| willbush | works on my machine :)

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I think it’s got to be something about the version of nix. What version of nix are you running? | 01:10:01 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I’m on 2.23.1 | 01:10:09 |
| willbush | I'm a bit behind 2.18.2. Tried to update the other day and too much stuff broke. I'm not using openssh so I decided it could wait. | 01:11:40 |
| willbush | I'll give it another go | 01:12:56 |
| willbush | Oh my nix only update to 2.18.4. Just realized there are newer versions available https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=nix | 02:08:04 |
| willbush | Ok now on the same version as you and got the same error:
I/O error: Failed to get the definition info for attribute acl: In /tmp/tmp.M50FW3cBly/merged/pkgs/stdenv/linux/default.nix, attribute parent node is not an attribute path node: NODE_INHERIT@28432..28603

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Got it! Ok, something for a time when I get computer time. Looks like running a test against the nix versions in nixpkgs would be good. Also adding a flag to keep the json output from nix-instantiate? Gotta diff that to see what changed and when. | 16:21:47 |

| notashelf | G'day, I was working on a treewide PR to move packages to by-name & format via nixfmt-rfc-style until I was informed that such PRs are actually discouraged in favor of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/211832.
Are there any other ongoing processes that I can lend a hand with? Or things I can help speed up by making a series of PRs? Otherwise I plan to go forward with adding licenses to most of the packages listed here but I'd be happy to help with higher-priority issues if there are any.
