aidalgol | i.e. https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Cross_Compiling and https://nix.dev/tutorials/cross-compilation.html by my reading are describing setting up a dev environment for cross compiling using nixpkgs, not packaging, say, a Windows executable for use in an x86_64-linux NixOS package. | 22:15:33 |
aidalgol | Comet's upstream releases include GalaxyCommunication-dummy.exe, but our comet-gog package does not. I think this .exe was added upstream sometime since the nixpkgs package was added. | 22:18:14 |

aidalgol | SigmaSquadron: Is there anything we can do around the heroic package to get people to bother nixpkgs people first rather than going straight to upstream? This happens a lot. | 02:06:48 |
