 connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | Part of the reason I did that was because the order Nixpkgs loads dependencies is wrong (there’s an issue from Ericson from like 8y ago)
As a result, even though my setup hooks depend on the array utility functions, they’re not available when my setup hooks is sourced — only after the phases have begun | 17:13:35 |

| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | ugh | 17:17:35 |
 indoor_squirrel | @ericson is in New York, right? Would someone here volunteer to just stand outside of his flat until he merges?.... You know, because of the implication? | 21:12:33 |
| indoor_squirrel | We may be able to support this effort through sponsor funding, I guess, considering the application of the funds (betterment of nixpkgs). | 21:13:13 |
 apyh | yeah lemme send a coworker to go hover ominously | 21:13:15 |
| indoor_squirrel | Er, not even ominously, necessarily. I think consistency is much more important, here | 21:13:44 |

| indoor_squirrel | Just trying to be open-minded about strategy. Not trying to cause problems. I think there isn't prior art to indicate this is a bad idea for OSS, necessarily. But, if anyone has evidence to the contrary then I'm happy to find another path forward. | 21:14:59 |

| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/459416 is basically ready for review | 03:24:59 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | I’ll have a bump for TensorRT up soon, just testing it on CUDA-legacy | 03:25:59 |
| connor (burnt/out) (UTC-8) | okay it's not happening tonight, didn't get the chance to write up the PR | 07:46:27 |
 Alexandros Liarokapis | I just now saw the nvidia announcement about third party distribution platforms | 20:13:11 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Is flox’s binary cache blessed or are there plans to integrate the binaries to hydra somehow ? | 20:13:57 |
 Gaétan Lepage | Which Hydra are you thinking about? NixOS's official hydra.nixos.org? | 20:16:37 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Yea pretty much | 20:16:57 |
| Gaétan Lepage | Then, no. NVIDIA libraries's license do not allow them to be redistributed by anyone, including NixOS's binary cache.
Flox made an exceptional agreement with NVIDIA directly. | 20:18:36 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | Oh okay interesting | 20:19:03 |
