@growpotkin:matrix.orgGrowpotkinI was in a meeting for work.15:46:51
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilWe were at the time of your message16:36:56
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilYou did say you were available at this time though 😅16:37:40
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilIf you can't make a meeting I really recommend letting people know in advance!16:38:55
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Robert Hensing (roberth): What do you think of using a pinned version of the lazy trees builtins.filterPath (that's what it's called) in CI to ensure the reference requirement of RFC 140? 17:38:02
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilIt's a bit dangerous considering that lazy trees is very unstable and unreviewable, but considering it's only for a limited part of CI, and pinned, it might be okay, it would simplify the implementation a lot17:39:35
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil

Oof, actually the error message would be terrible that way.. Since lazy paths have a separate filesystem root, trying to import e.g. ../../../../default.nix (the default.nix in the root) from pkgs/unit/he/hello leads to

error: getting status of '/home/tweagysil/na/nixpkgs/pkgs/unit/he/hello/README.md': No such file or directory
17:55:14
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil Oh and in fact it's even worse, because if you try to import ../../../../package.nix, it actually works, but it imports package.nix in the local directory, so ./package.nix! That's really confusing, maybe I should comment this in the lazy trees PR 17:56:40
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil The cause of these problems is that the parent of a filesystem root is the filesystem root itself, so /.. == /. 17:57:38
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilI reported this here: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6530#issuecomment-154611077018:14:32
@federicodschonborn:matrix.org@federicodschonborn:matrix.org changed their profile picture.19:34:21

@growpotkin:matrix.orgGrowpotkinI had no idea that the date/time had been set14:25:49
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil I sent out this message and email invites more than a week in advance 😅 14:26:57
@growpotkin:matrix.orgGrowpotkinDamn, for whatever reason my calendar missed it. Sorry y'all14:33:34
