 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | * Regarding the ipfs message. That's not so much a substituter problem (an nginx instance with a local directory is more or less a substituter) as it is a build queue/hydra problem: afaiu we have no better solution for managing keys, than to copy outputs from all builders to a dedicated signer machine, nor do we have ready tools yet for doing this kind of cross-validation you describe. IPFS is more relevant for egress/distribution, which I'd say is a secondary concern right now. In either case, this is more of a research question, whereas with the CI we want to an immediate need with available tools
EDIT: There are several Discourse posts about using torrents and ipfs for substitution with extended discussion, including some posts disentangling the separate problems targeted by such suggestions. They're probably worth finding | 20:31:56 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Thank you, this addresses the concern that we might be "imposing unwanted work and expectations on another team" at least for now.
Jonas Chevalier in addition to the questions about the scope, I wonder what "Nix Community Projects" is, legally? In particular, thinking of physical hardware, can it "own things"?

 connor (he/him) | SomeoneSerge (UTC+U[-12,12]): any tips for getting CMake PRs reviewed? https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/10354 | 01:12:36 |
 ruro | Question: how soon is "prior to 25.05"? Do you mean "after the 25.05 branch-off" or "some time between now and 25.05 release" or what? In other words, when will CUDA 11.x be removed from master/unstable? | 03:51:57 |
| connor (he/him) | My understanding from the GCC maintainers for Nixpkgs is that they'll remove it as part of their GCC 11 removal, which will happen prior to the 25.05 branch-off, so that it is not available in the 25.05 release | 05:16:56 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Well they already pinged https://gitlab.kitware.com/robertmaynard | 17:19:24 |
