@connorbaker:matrix.orgconnor (burnt/out) (UTC-8)Sounds good! I’ll leave a comment on them23:51:04
@glepage:matrix.orgGaétan Lepage I'm testing the CUDA bump more thoroughly though.
~1.3k rebuilds left (out of 1.8k)

About https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/498681, I plan to build torch and vllm. If this works fine, I will merge it.
With all the CUDA PRs in the queue, I won't have the capacity to exhaustively test all of them.

No objection on your side?

It looks like torch's supportedTorchCudaCapabilities was out-of-sync with upstream. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/499216

How would I use nixpkgs-review to test these changes?

@glepage:matrix.orgGaétan Lepage

Thanks for the PR!

Well, you don't want to rebuild all torch consumers for this. What you can do is the following:

nixpkgs-review --extra-nixpkgs-config "{ allowUnfree = true; cudaSupport = true; }" -p python3Packages.torch -p python3Packages.vllm -p python3Packages.torchvision

@glepage:matrix.orgGaétan LepageI'll try to have a look at it before next week12:39:58

@glepage:matrix.orgGaétan Lepage Nevermind, all good.
You need to carefully set cudaCapabilities for it to run fine on a given GPU: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/499323#issuecomment-4049769046

should it have an isBroken if cudaCapabilities has more than one item, then?
