@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Let's use this crab.fit to find a new time. If you'd like to join my weekly Nixpkgs Architecture office hours, please fill in your regular availability there! 14:31:37
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Philip Taron (UTC-8): willbush: Dominic Mills: ^ 14:31:53
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8)I filled out my availablity as of 6/17 -- it'll be significantly more constrained until then, but I'm fine to miss things until then.15:29:13
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8) https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-check-by-name/pull/71 -- nixpkgs-check-by-name ran into some (to my eyes) odd update errors. 15:29:52

@willbush:matrix.orgwillbushI also missed :(. I have had other things come up, but I still want to help out. I'm hoping to be more active next month. Feel free to reschedule Jit.si meet without my crab fit schedule :)22:03:26

@aliarokapis:matrix.orgAlexandros LiarokapisHi all. Not sure if this is the proper Room to discuss this. I was thinking, maybe it would be worth enabling patchelf to change hard-coded paths in the text segment to relative ones, then provide symlinks in the $out folder. This is an alternative to builfFHSEnv that should also work on Darwin (not with patchelf but similar) not all of them obviously, something like by providing a map of transforms it would also help with manual dlopens10:01:42
@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijacksonCan it work? Doesn't this mess up pointers to the text segment?11:10:54
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpMost of the time no.12:04:01
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbp * (patching path of different length) Most of the time no.12:04:30
@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijacksonhow so? I would assume that the program knows the start address and the length of the string, so we can't put longer strings without having to shift the rest, and shorter strings aren't guaranteed to work either12:08:12
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpthe program yes, the patching tool probably does not.12:23:58
@nbp:mozilla.orgnbpthen you have different encoding, depending on the language, and other variables that would have to be shifted otherwise, assumption on the addresses …12:25:46
@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijackson
In reply to @nbp:mozilla.org
the program yes, the patching tool probably does not.
I'm not sure I understand this sentence. Isn't the point patching programs?
